(22,982 posts)My eating plan is based on 13 years of following Weight Watchers (lost 65 pounds; I am 5'4" and now weigh around 135 at age 71):
Lean meat esp chicken breast
all types of veg but few potatoes
all types of fruit unlimited - I would never have succeeded with the weight loss without apples, peaches, berries of all kinds etc.
small portions of rice or pasta
I even pop my corn the old fashioned way using a silicone popper in my microwave and normal real popcorn. (not that I eat popcorn that often) Everybody needs one of these popcorn poppers $12 via Amazon.
Yes I have bender days mostly due to where I happen to be eating at the time and I will over indulge on pizza, a burger and fries or really good Italian food.
We don't keep cake etc around the house. I may have it if out with friends and we often have a dessert with 5 spoons.
This is ironic since my superpower is my ability to bake really good cake, and baking is one of my favorite things to do. I do a lot of baking for other people outside our home, which means it leaves my house intact. Baking is therapy for me - so it helps me in several ways to prepare a wonderful dessert and hand it over to someone else.
