How did we lose the weight? Just calorie counting (and discipline). My wife, an accountant by profession, is scrupulous about keeping track of just how many calories are in any any meal we prepare, and also the amount of protein, carbohydrates, etc. in the total intake. That's pretty much it; we limit ourselves to a particular number of calories per day, but can pretty much choose what we like to get to that limit. Of course it helps that we're in California, where there is no problem getting a wide variety of fresh fruit and vegetables year round. Portion control (and not putting too many high-calorie items on the plate at the same time) works for us; we occasionally succumb to the lures of pizza (though not bacon cheeseburgers), and we still enjoy a glass of wine with dinner on Sunday. We just don't casually go out for a burger and a couple of pints at the local bar.
