I'm afraid I don't do well with calorie counting, but still lost weight!.

This is how I did it!. A healthy lifestyle way of eating since Jan!. last year and lost 45 lbs!.

Nutritious foods that are high in nutrients and low in fat and sugar (no sugar, if possible)!.

Substituting sugar and oil (partially, depends on the recipe) by using applesauce and pureed fruits in baked goods!.

Eating veggies as the main dish and lean meats (including beans), fish and chicken (very little red meat) as a side dish!.

Eating whole wheat rice, pasta and breads is good as a side dish or as part of the main dish, as long as it is not high in fat, but is high in fiber!. Lots of times, breads and pasta will say its wheat when it isn't whole wheat; something to watch out for!.

Eating 3 meals plus 2 snacks a day is good!.

Staying away from fast foods and tv dinners laden with fat and sugar!.

Key is finding what kinds of foods you like; going to the American Heart Association website as a guideline!.

Then looking at recipes that appeal to you!. Can save them on your computer to try!.

I made a binder, with plastic sheet pocket protector page with index pages (salads, meats, side dishes, desserts, etc!.)!. I’d try the recipe, if it’s good, it stays, if not, its tossed!.
