Hello - I need help. I am close to two years out and have recently put on ten pounds. I am not sure how to diet using the conventional tools as the calorie requirements are too high. I bought one of the Biggest Loser books but those calories are also too high. Anytips and suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

Go back to basics do lean Proteins an veggies cut out some carbs.. How's your restriction at 2 years out!

Haven't been sleeved yet but perhaps some shakes?

Not very good restriction...feel like I can eat alot.

Just fill up with Veggies and lean protein. Stay away from those nasty carbs. If I get to the high part of my range...143-144 I cut back on the carbs. I sip more water and go right back down. I have in my mind not to go above 145 and do not let myself get under 138. Gives me some breathing room and I feel really good here. Carbs are the devil - lol

When I went over the top of my bounce range earlier this year I:

- Started tracking every bite

- Gave away the junk food I had in the house

- Made sure I stocked up on my low calorie high Protein faves.

- Followed an eating plan: at least 60 grams of protein per day, 64 oz of fluids. Breakfast of 1 serving nonfat dairy, 2 low fat protein, 1 whole grain, and 1 fruit. lunch of 2 low fat protein, 1 whole grain, and 2 vegetables. dinner of 3 low fat protein, 1 whole grain, 2 vegetables, and 1 fruit.

- Continued exercising 4 days per week.

- Continued to weigh myself every morning.

- Continued to weigh and measure my food at most meals.

This worked for me. After I got to my goal weight again, I set my bounce range smaller.
