I successfully diet without counting fat and sugar intake.
After years of trying to maintain a girlish figure, I know what I have to do if I want to lose weight. Whether I want to lose 5 pounds or 50 pounds, I follow my regimen and as long as I stick to it, the pounds will come off.
Basically, I forgo two things to lose weight: bread and sweets (cookies, candies, pastries, etc.). I don't “drink” much, so forgoing beer, wine and liquor is not part of my regimen.
One of my part-time jobs during high school was as a cook at Kentucky Fried Chicken. The store policy was that you could eat all you wanted and I did. One year on the job and I gained 40 pounds!
The following summer, Pop got me a union job at the comic book factory. Near the end of each shift, I had to lift 50-pound printing plates off of a skid and into a furnace to be melted and reused.
Unhappy with my KFC weight gain, I figured that the daily printing plate routine would help me lose weight, so I cut out bread and sweets, had a cup of yogurt for lunch and lost 50 pounds that summer.
For the next 45 years, I maintained my weight, give or take 10 pounds.
About three years ago, I got tired of shopping on the Women’s side of Dress Barn, Macy’s, JCPenney, etc. and decided to lose some weight. So I gave up bread and sweets and walked a mile or more every day.
Eventually, I lost 25 pounds and began shopping on the Misses side of my favorite boutiques – down from sizes 16W and 18W to sizes 16, 14 and occasionally, a size 12.
My diet regimen could not be simpler and I could not be happier with my girlish figure.

Thanks , Stana , I've done the same and it works .
ReplyDeleteStana , do you feel some jealousy from cis women when you go out in public looking very much more attractive than many older over 60 cis women ?
ReplyDeleteOccasionally, I get those "looks" that may indicate jealousy.
DeleteOnly a femulator would step on to a weighing machine in heels.
ReplyDeleteMy regime? Once a year do a lead roll in a musical comedy. I usually drop 10 pounds by opening night! (giggle)
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, I ws diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes 2 years ago, and I started watching what I ate. Twenty pounds disappeared just like that -- but I would not recommend this as a weight loss system.
I am doing this right now. Along with eliminating bread and booze I'm doing trying something new to me called intermittent fasting. Basically, no eating from 7 pm (i.e. after dinner) till noon the following day (I have coffee in the morning however). It's been very effective and I feel like I appreciate the food I do eat more.
ReplyDeleteI have limited sugar to 35 grams/day and saturated fat to 14 grams/day and eat Only wholegrain bread and no white flour and I've lost weight every day .So now I will be able to wear a size 12-14 dress size .
ReplyDeleteI forgot to say I walk outside 3 miles / day
DeleteDiet is one area where you cannot Femulate part time, it has to be full time to keep your figure looking nice

i decided once the virus made my crossdressing activities impractical, there was no point in trying to succeed to defy my age and attempt to keep a relatively slim figure without having others appreciate it. so i decided to take a "damage limitation" approach instread. but as a result of enjoying wine and good food (whatever get you through the night!) as a welcome distraction from living "groundhog day" alone, that has been a tall demand for most of the past year. however: once the virus and weather allow, i plan to take the comments above on board with regard to losing the flab that i have now acquired!
