Reply #56: I lost 40 lbs in 9 months--been maintaining since May-- my goal is to lose 4 more

[mnhtnbb]

I lost the weight on Nutrisystem, which basically was a way to teach me to change
my eating habits.

Lots of low fat protein; lots of fresh veggies and some fruit; 'good' carbohydrates (whole grains)
Much smaller portions of LEAN meat (serving size of 3-4 oz, about the size of a deck of cards)


To maintain, aim to add about 400 more calories per day (I lost on 1100-1200 calories/day).
Cut WAY back on alcohol.

Good luck!
