What type of diet worked for you?

Question

So I’m looking for a good diet plan, one that could work for me. I work at a hospital and am super busy all day. Once I’m home I have almost no energy to even make dinner. I’m a quick convenient meals type of person (not TV dinners, but easy stuff like pizza) What’s your advice?

Answer

Lean cuisine has alot of tasty meals that are affordable. I hate tv dinners but. I like most of their microwave meals.

Answer

Make your own frozen dinner lunch  for the week

Answer

Meal prepping. It’s always possible, i had 75 hour work weeks for a long time and would make sure when I got home on Saturday or Sunday to spend a few hours making things for my husband and I that would last all week with things to freeze as well. Spaghetti sauce, chili, stir frys. 
Whole 30 is a great way to become familiar with foods, as well as fast metabolism diet by Haylie pomroy. (FMD you have to eat every 3 hours...). But both teach you about food and how your body works with food. Something you can implement into every day life

Answer

Weight watchers. I used it once after a bad university term and stopped, but I continued to be mindful of what I ate. I didn’t really gain weight until my first pregnancy. Then I went back on weight watchers to loose the weight post-partum and I’ve been on it ever since as it’s really more of a lifestyle change. It helps change your mindset to food, let’s you eat the bad stuff (of course you can’t get away with that forever- but once a week or so a small treat is allowed). I eat what I want and work out how I want, but I’m much more mindful of portion sizes, healthy choices, etc. I now just use weight watchers maintenance so I’m not loosing weight, just keeping it off. 
I’m back in the size 4 jeans I wore my senior year of high school and all through university (I’m not kidding- I still have a pair and they fit perfectly! Though not right now as I’m pregnant again- but I am doing a modified version of weight watchers for pregnancy). It’s not a fad diet or one the restricts you. It’s about lifestyle changes which are much more effective at helping you loose weight and then keep the weight off.
