Not the proper way to do it, but when you cut sugars and reduce carbs, losing weight becomes a matter of physiology.
After getting to our goal weight/BMI, we adjusted to a moderate carb plan. We have maintained the weightloss for several years.
If you excercise, many people can just eat sensibly and never regain. Right now, I'm somewhere in between moderate carb and eating sensibly.
One thing to remember is that being at your ideal weight does not mean that you are healthy. Losing weight, however, will almost always improve your overall health.

I cannot see GL as being overweight in any way! And his wife was overweight maybe 20 pounds or so, but she looked great, even when she was pregnant.
I guess that's what happens when people leave God's country and seek out the grass on the other side......LOL!
