Dieting Is Hard
OK, I am a bit overwhelmed after reading the book fat to fit.
Meal planning I can see being my weakness. I am not much for counting calories. I used to do Body-For-Life …. eating a ton of brown rice and chicken / veggies, using the palm/fist measurement.   - that diet of bland food DID work combined with exercise, but it was a diet, not a lifestyle change - and I fell hard after that one and gained all my weight back.Â
I want to be able to enjoy my food and not be so restriced, but making healthy choices to BURN FAT.  Â
The food part of any diet is the reason I always sabotage myself - fail to plan, plan to fail
ANY ideas for food to make it easier for me would be greatly appreciated.
I am a bit lost, but I will make this happen for myself.Â
Would this be an acceptable day?  Â
Breakfast:Â 1-WW english muffin with peanut butter
Snack: yogurt / appleÂ
Lunch - Turkey Sandwich - on ww bread — side of carrot / celery sticks
Snack - 1/2 cup brown rice - 1/2 chicken breast
Dinner - 4 oz Flank Steak - broccoli - baked potatoe
Nothing after dinner - maybe a small bowl of Fibre cereal?
Thanks for your help Ray.

Yes, that is an acceptable day. I think your right with your lifestyle approach. The amount of focus and change you put on your diet will directly effect the amount of change and how quickly it happens.
If you are fine with slow and steady progress towards your goal then the meal you showed me along with intense exercise will get you there. If you want to get there a little faster then you should follow the outline in the book.
I do a combo of both year round. I will go strict for a month or two when a sunny vacation is coming up and then go to a more rounded eating plan for the rest of the year.
Hope that helps you out Brent!
