I documented how I lost over 15 kilo, 30+ pounds a couple of years ago, and I have kept it off. I've been eating less and less processed foods. I don't buy dried fruit, cereals, yogurts etc. I only buy tomato paste that is no more than cooked up tomatoes. I do all the flavoring when I cook with it.
One of the big shockers for me was discovering that my "plain yogurt" was chock full of salts and other additives.
I had substituted plain, unroasted, unsalted nuts for the yogurt as a snack, but when stopping with that I got another kilo, couple of pounds off.
I eat large quantities and pretty frequently, but I don't eat much in carbohydrates and grains. Recently I tried a different protein, black beans. I cooked up a couple of handfuls (for a week's supply) and add some to vegetables for one meal a day. Breakfast is a two-egg vegetable omelet and the other meal is a full carb-less meal with animal protein, poultry, beef or fish.
If you buy a lot of processed foods, for yourself or the family, this little "what has less/more sugar?" guide may help you. Honestly, I didn't know all the answers.
