What I was trying to say in a blithering sort of way, is that Fast-5 is a great way to help you to reduce caloric intake. That's the bottom line. As someone else mentioned, I can cheat and eat ice cream, PBJ's, and a six pack of ale one day and then have fish, oats, and kale the next. Overall, it evens out and I maintain. But as long as I keep my calories low, I can eat what I want and lose weight. The problem comes in when I eat things that trigger my obsessive-compulsive tendencies and I finish off a loaf of bread or a half gallon of ice cream. If I focus on healthy foods that don't trigger my hunger, I lose weight much more quickly and reliably. If you can eat steak, chicken, rice, and pasta in small quantities, Fast-5 will work perfectly for you. I personally have to censor what I eat because I know which foods will make me overeat. It just so happens that "healthy" foods don't make me overeat so I stick to them. It's a win-win. I hope that makes sense.

If you're trying to maintain your weight and live longer, food type isn't AS important, but you should strive to eat 25-40% less calories than the RDA says you should. All in all though, it's ALWAYS a good idea to eat less grains and sugars and more fruits and vegetables. Animal fats and proteins are good (in the absence of grains and sugars) and vegetable oils are bad. Wine, beer, whisky... good in small quantities. Again, what's your goal? Alcohol can slow or reverse your weight loss progress but if you're just maintaining, go for it.
