Calorie tracking has been a big help for me.
Journaling and keeping up with DS friends helps too.
:)

I do not control my portions, but I do like to eat large quantities of mostly healthy food. I have found that eating a good amount of calories (for me, it's at least 1600+), helped me to lose weight, and I'm remaining steady in my weight now.

I also exercise vigorously almost everyday, too. I think that's important. Oh, and tons of water

Mine is having 1 serving per day of any type of food, that way I won't eat a whole cake or pie, or whole bag of chips or whole container of ice cream. Most of the time it works. I have to do it like this, because I love food too much and I always feel hungry. I have no control.

I've been watching My 600lb Life and the doctor on there always tells people to eat lean protein and veggies. No fruit, no soda, no fruit juice. Fruit has a lot of sugars. Eating all those oranges might not be best for you

Thanks angel... that explain my junk food binges today..

I don't do portion control ... I eat until I'm full. As I get smaller I am eating less anyway.

I mostly control my portions by:

Grams of protein - 1/5 of my daily protein per meal/snack

Grams of carbs - no more than 10 grams of carbs per meal/snack

"Free" foods I try to stick to one serving by the nutrition label.

If I am going to do a "treat" (which I hope will be rare) I plan to use the "3 bites" rule rather than a whole serving. I understand that 3 bites savored completely over several minutes can actually provide satiety with a treat food. ( I have rarely experienced satiety, so this is a foray off the map.)

I have used the meal tracking on FitDay.com in the past with good success.
