Mediterranean WOE is for me I’ve realised after trying various restriction diets. I am eating the best variation of foods I have for a long time. I am enjoying my food and feel satiated. Less snacks and less extras are needed. I have gone down a belt hole since starting without counting (I will need to be more attentive as time passes). I have not weighed. I am eating a lot more carbs than I thought I was able but as these are extremely low sugars it appears to be sitting well with me. This does include either bread or potatoes or pasta at every meal but nutrient dense items. I am not excluding anything. My plates look balanced and I do not eat what I don’t enjoy, thinking “it’s healthy” and then still eat what I want after. I feel like my food crazy switch has been disabled and I just enjoy my food, which is quite a major step forward for me. Plus I feel like this is giving me all the options I need to make choices well when I dine out in the future or travel on holiday which is important to me. Have a good weekend if you have read this far

Sounds great! I also follow a Mediterranean-ish diet and find it best for satiety. I try to get to 30 g of fiber a day. Currently trying to incorporate some fermented foods in at least two out of three meals a day.

Hi Agnes Z, that’s interesting to know. I will check my fibre once I start logging! Thanks

Yep, happy Saturday! ☀️As long as the visual plate method is working for you..some people can definitely be successful with that..and mostly preparing your own meals at home helps a lot. I’ve found that tracking is just so helpful in the short and long term…as much as for burning excess stored body fat as for the equally critical maintaining a healthy weight. Carb and fat creep (fooling ourselves regarding quantity and balance of our meals) is real, natural and nothing to be ashamed of in this hyper food abundant environment that humans newly find ourselves in today. 😊 When I track I’m more mindful..and that’s always helpful.
