I lost 80 lbs in my 40s eating MORE, not less.
Eat until full. No calorie counting. No restriction.

The Simple Plate Rule

I keep my meals simple by following a plate formula.

  • Half starch (potatoes, rice, beans)
  • Half vegetables
  • Eat until comfortably full
  • Repeat most days

This is what a typical meal looks like

Why this works

This way of eating is based on calorie density.

Vegetables are low in calories but high in volume.
Starches keep you full and satisfied.

When you combine both, you can eat big meals for fewer calories - without trying to eat less.
