Get plenty of exercise.
Putting on a few pounds? Cut down on food portions. (Not the Ale!)
Avoid all processed food.
Simple.
Well said.
I've tried every type of diet in my youth, and yes, low carb diets worked for weight loss, but I always felt deprived. Low fat diets never worked for me because I was never satisfied so I overate. Muffin after muffin after muffin... Or endless pasta. The best way to eat for me has been 1/2 plate of vegetable, 1/4 carb, 1/4 protein/fat. I feel satisfied and have kept my same weight for decades. And yes, alcohol in moderation!
