I find I self-regulate better if I restrict the times I eat rather than what I eat--I eat three meals a day, on one plate, absolutely no snacks, and no going back for seconds. I also save the sweets for the weekends. I also find the quality of my food is much better when I only use 3 plates a day. When I eat badly it tends to be all these little treats that add up, but they're terribly hard to justify when all staring at me from one plate. mrs. tictactoe on "What foods do you eat when you're on a diet?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-foods-do-you-eat-when-youre-on-a-diet#post-777948 Mon, 13 May 2013 12:35:26 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 777948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Try frozen berries as dessert! Or greek yogurt is another one of my staples.

Lean protein and veggies too, but those seem to be my go-to snacks/small meals.

Mainly grilled or steamed, no fried food or processed food, and limit carbs if I really want to lose weight fast. looch on "What foods do you eat when you're on a diet?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-foods-do-you-eat-when-youre-on-a-diet#post-777751 Mon, 13 May 2013 11:39:00 +0000 looch 777751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @T.H.O.U.: me too!

I like to add in more salads, whole wheat items, and veggies, but in general, I just watch calories.

This was when I was in the best shape of my life, as I was also going to the gym and lifting heavy 5 days a week. I found all the small meals just really hard to do though and I eventually burned myself out... I've read a lot recently that eating small meals doesn't actually do much for your metabolism as previously believed. It does help you not ever be hungry, but it's just so much work to eat that much lol! Now I basically eat the same stuff, just bigger portions less times a day. autumnlove on "What foods do you eat when you're on a diet?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-foods-do-you-eat-when-youre-on-a-diet#post-777662 Mon, 13 May 2013 11:11:13 +0000 autumnlove 777662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ More chicken, fish, protein and healthy fat. No juice, less starchy carbs. looch on "What foods do you eat when you're on a diet?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-foods-do-you-eat-when-youre-on-a-diet#post-777656 Mon, 13 May 2013 11:10:02 +0000 looch 777656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I am terrible at dieting, the only way I am successful is if I have set meal plans, so I know what I am eating every day, for every meal. My worst meal is lunch, I am super hungry and I need something filling! I also reverse my meals, I do a bigger breakfast, big lunch and a small dinner. In this next attempt, I am planning on doing a smoothie for dinner. I eat a lot of fish when I need to lose weight and I cut out as many simple carbs as possible. I am super strict the first two weeks, then I slowly add things back in.

This is my general diet plan: Breakfast: green smoothie Snack: boiled egg, avocado, or nuts Lunch: salad w/ lean protein and something filling like quinoa Dinner: lean protein w/ veggies I tend to lose weight best when I eat the same thing every day. The hard part is that I get so hungry after dinner since we eat early with the kids, and I'm up for another 6 hours. What do you eat when you're on a diet?
