I am 5 years out and have maintained my weight loss. I weigh 155lbs. I still follow the rule of protein first. I generally limit carbs for most meals. I fill my plate with protein and veggIes. I can probably eat 2 cups of food so maybe I stretched my stomach? Certain foods are no longer part of my every day diet but I may eat on a special occasion. Those foods would be junk food, soda, fast food and desserts. A normal day for me would be iced black coffee for breakfast. Salad or soup for lunch, protein bar for snack before working out. Dinner is sometimes high calorie protein like sausages, ribs or hot wings. With a vegetable of course and sometimes a small amount of carbs. At night, I sometimes snack on nuts (protein first!) and a glass of wine. I drink plenty of water throughout the day. I do not count calories. I weigh myself weekly and tighten up on the diet as needed.
