I’m currently a lump of chocolate and cheese, but once the new year hits, I’m determined to make 2026 the year I finally get back to a healthy weight (I’ve lost about 20 pounds, with about 80-100 to go). I’m pretty good about exercising regularly, but, as they say, abs are made in the kitchen. Those who have successfully lost weight, is there anything you particularly recommend for maintaining a calorie deficit to lose the weight, and then avoiding gaining it back later on?
I make salad dressing from low fat cottage cheese. I use a strong immersion blender to make it the consistency of sour cream. Thin it with water and add ranch dip seasoning. Anytime I feel hungry. I just have a salad with protein ranch. Make staying full very easy. Also fake bacon bits are almost pure protein.
