FWIW
I've found the best exercise is "push aways"! (from the table)
I eat everthing I want, but just half of it............I've managed to lose about 20-25 lbs in the past 2 years. I don't feel deprived (depraved maybe??) and I eat what ever I want, now I do focus on eating "good" stuff and try to avoid "plastic foods"
As I grown (?) older I've found that red meat hurts me, so I tend to eat more chicken, pork and fish.........not to say that I don't indulge in a nice filet here and there (but, I do pay for it...........but, with everything comes a price).
Plus, I go to the grocery store a couple of times a week and get a cut up fruit salad and add other fruits and eat this through the morning.........I claim "I think better when I'm grazing"........sounds good???? Plus, I don't feel starved at lunch and can again eat half as much.
I more align with Weight Watchers than the "new fangled" fad types and firmly believe that one has to burn more than one consumes....
The dogs have also benefited from the walks.............if I'm gonna have to walk the mile, they're gonna too! (no dog left behind!) They now look forward to it and if it's raining, well they're totally bummed..............funky wet dog smells are gross.....unfortunately, they don't seem to understand that!
Bottom line: burn more than you consume!
