8. Healthier eating is the best. Not necessarily eating LESS either. I eat more now than I ever did.

For me it wasn't a matter of how much I ate but WHAT I ate. 900 cal a day and I couldn't lose an ounce. Yo Yo dieting, fad diets ... lo-cal intake. Nothing worked. Healthy eating works. Now I eat 6 meals a day and 3 or 4 snacks. LOTS of Protein, some fats and fresh fruit and veggies.

As I said to Peggy down thread. Eat less exercise more doesn't always work.
