Eating at a deficit and not sitting on my butt all day.

I just eat less than I burn. No secret about it.

1) Weighing my food. It's an important step that a lot of people miss.

2) Weight lifting. I'm not just trying to lose weight; I'm trying to maximize fat loss AND minimize muscle loss.... and I'm seeing the results!

Realizing that successful weight loss and successful maintenance is 80% mindset, 20% calories and math. Once I figured that out I was able to move forward and get it done

my secret, or more like motivation, is reminding myself that I want to be super sexy and fit back into my cute clothes that I never got rid of.
My super go to feel good food helps also. Jif crunchy peanut butter. I love it almost as much as my dear hubby.

eating in a calorie deficit
hitting macro/micros
having a food scale
realizing that no foods are bad and they can all be enjoyed in moderation

unknown

Keeping healthy foods in the house and thinking a couple of days ahead what I'll be eating. Cooking at home most of the time and when we do go out to eat, I look at the menu online ahead of time and decide what I'm going to have.

Not expecting instant results

So the deficit you created causes your weight loss Not eating Paleo

Paleo is more a choice to eat certain food like vegetarian. Or not eating carbs or sugar what ever.

btw by saying "and then joined a counting site", is not saying that i know why he joined this site.
It makes me always wonder when people preach a certain life style/diet, and then join another site then their favorite diet site.

Its like going to McDonalds and telling there that Kentucky fried chicken is so wonderful

I think when you do Paleo, you are naturally eating less calories without realizing it, hence the weight loss. I tried the Atkins once, and after I ate a whole chicken breast and some broccoli, I was full. Miserable, but full.

The op asked what our secret was, I answered what worked for me, didn't preach. I didn't even choose the lifestyle for weight loss; I had medical reasons, but weight loss was a very welcome side effect. I wonder if someone answered that being vegetarian was their secret, would that answer bring the same hostility?

Not always true.

In the time that i still had my own garden, fresh meats, own eggs from my free ranch chickens and eat very healthy. I still ate to much.

It all comes down to counting.

That you can eat more of the green stuff (

) helps for sure. But not always helps to create a deficit when you do a certain diet
Atkins in the time that you didn't count fruit would be a killer for me. I can eat fruit the whole day. Unlimited!!!! Avocados by the 10 lol ( almost 300 calories per avocado) hehehe

So same as for us...your calorie deficit makes you lose weight. Not eating a specific diet as Paleo
