Grilled chicken, fish and vegetables will do it.

I find at first with any way of eating, I feel hungry...do you?

Then for some reason, after awhile, I get less hungry!

@LTT1 Yes because I'm thinking more about it.  Once you get into a routine it gets easier.

@haddon9 @LTT1 Get enough protein for sure and fill up on veggies with fiber like broccoli, sweet potatoes, cabbages and brussels sprouts, and you need good carbs to help your body use and process food.  Salads don't have the fiber you need but are helpful as a side. 

A nutritionist told us that having some good carbs with a meal helps you feel fuller and I do find that at least for me to be true.  You really need to feed and satisfy your body with good food.  She said it's what you eat, not what you eat.  And I believe every word of that.

I have an annual end of March function and as usual I have about 10lbs winter weight to lose.  About 2 months away which shouldn't be too hard to do if I focus.

Any suggestions?  Low carb low sugar works somewhat, tried the no carb/sugar and that was hard to maintain.

TIA

Stop eating the foods that put on the 10 pounds and return to your non-winter activity level.

@Marp 

That is exactly what happened I let a few foods I don't normally eat into the house....like those gold & silver Squirrel almonds with toffee & chocolate!

Those have been banished.

The plan that works for me is my daily protein shake each day, plus salmon 2-3x/week + salad, celery or apppe each day.

It worked before and I'd do it again.

@LTT1 

Do you use veg or fruit in your protein shake?

When getting weighed, keep one foot on the floor...the other on the scale.

Yeah, I'm in that kind of mood today.
