Okay, so I’m trying (recent lapses ignored for now) to be more healthy in my eating habits. I’m mainly trying to cut back on the number of calories I consume, but I’d also like to just get a little healthier in general.

Here’s my thinking. My weight has been pretty much constant at 180 (+/- 2) for a while now. Without counting, measuring, or computing anything, if I eat less than I have been without changing my habits, my weight should go down.

I know - that violates a lot of “diet advice.” But hey, its a big part of how I lost my previous 55 pounds.

So here’s what I’m doing. I’m picking a “big meal” per day - either lunch or dinner. That meal, I eat exactly what I would have eaten. The other meal, I have a snack instead, something in the 200-400 calorie range. Or nothing, if I’m not hungry.

Sound too simple to be true? It may be. Let’s see what happens.
