Breakfast: cortado with no added sugar, oatmeal with some honey
Lunch: usually a salad with a small amount of grain or a veggie / protein mixture at the whole foods hot bar. Stroopwafel (sp?) + espresso afterwards.
Dinner: meat /fish + a vegetable. Big servings. Sometimes a glass of wine or a beer. Sometimes a bit of ice cream for dessert.
I've never been overweight, but as I get older, I find that this paleo-ish diet helps me maintain my weight and feel good / healthy. Also, as part of my job, I counsel young people on losing weight and have seen a number of my motivated patients have good success with a similar low-carb, low-sugar approach. Finally I'll say that striving to eat this way most of the time allows me to eat a burger or brunch on occasion and never worry about the effects on my health / weight.
Note: I have been on a 5x5 weight-lifting program recently and may increase my whole grain carbohydrate to ensure that I maintain proper glycogen stores.
