Low Carb = Meh... you are 100% correct with the CALL IN/CAL OUT.
If someone wants to get to a point faster it takes more than dieting, but I think for most people dieting is the toughest part. For me:
Workouts: 10%
Cardio: 10%
Diet: 90% (add the extra 10% because it gets tough)
And for me, working out is the hardest thing. I could totally go home every evening and sit on my butt this time of year but over the summer when I'm out with friends doing water stuff.... it shows... I have to FORCE myself to work out.
Now as far as eating, I'm the master at starving myself which is why I have had issues dropping weight in the past. I have really messed up my metabolism in the process. Recently, I was encouraged to increase my calories 250 per day after my logs showed I wasn't eating enough. I am also to eat more frequently and that I find is a struggle. It seems strange to eat when you are not hungry. I'm 31 lbs. to goal (my goal) and 16 for my doctor's goal. I'll get there... in the 10-11 months I've been working towards my goal, I have not given up... not even a little bit. I'm not going out with my friends next summer and looking like the fat friend.
Don't fill your plate. Just fill the center.[/
I used to eat with a kids plate. It helped with the portion control some. I actually bought a portion control thing from amazon that you put on your plate and it neatly portions out everything. I can't wait for it to come. For the month of December I am portioning out all my food and slowly omitting certain foods. I have so much box food I am not going to let it go to waste. I'll start taking away certain foods and replacing them. Hopefully by January I will be able to start with nothing but fresh veggies and yummy chicken breast! Make a grocery list and stick to it!
