Have you tried intermittent fasting?

I had a friend (years before this became a fad) that had “fasting Mondays”. Didn’t eat on Monday except for water and ate whatever she wanted the rest of the week. She looked great and it obviously worked for her. Maintained her weight for years. But I think she ate pretty healthy anyways.

My motto is everything in moderation and that’s worked great for me.
I tend to have brunch (protein heavy) and be happy until dinner.

My husband has dropped 40 pounds or so over last several years and is keeping it off. Just a slow weight loss–very gradual. But a pound a month is 12 pounds a year. Moderation–eats everything he likes but just not huge amounts and exercises regularly. I will say our diet is probably healthier these days.
Before this he tried diets that worked great but the weight always came back (sometimes worse) the second it was stopped. Low fat, low carb–forget it. Not sustainable in the long run.
