I’ve hit such a road block in terms of losing weight now that I’m 46. Part of it is just uneven hormones and fatigue: I feel like if I just eat more sugar and chocolate that I’ll be energized. But I’m beginning to think that I need to get a little professional help with my Diet.
I haven’t really looked into anything yet. When I was young, I could go onto the Scarsdale Diet for two weeks. It all seemed to be healthy normal food. But the amount of grapefruit gave me canker sores, and the meals that were just a fruit salad and one piece of wheat toast left me hungry in the afternoons—at least it does now. And there were no snacks allowed on that diet, as I recall. I have a friend who tried Weight Watchers but she quit that pretty fast. I’m not sure why.
What I really crave is a sturdy breakfast, a mid-morning snack, a carb or two, an afternoon snack, and then a dinner that doesn’t leave me feel empty. And I’m pretty sure I won’t lose weight unless I keep it down to 1200 calories a day. Does anyone have a suggestion for me?

Dieting can be frustrating and as we grow older our metabolism decreases. Sounds like you have the right idea, eat most of your carbs during the day and at night have a protein and a vegetable. Don't forget lots of water and a little exercise. Dieting is really about a healthy lifestyle change. Good luck
