My wife saw a show on Oprah a few months back that basically confirmed my beliefs in health and longevity. There was a man on it who ate a big bowl of fruit for breakfast, a big salad for lunch, and a regular supper each day. He didn’t need to count calories with this method.  He is 65 years old but apparently has the health of a 20 yr old. Wow!

Here is the link to an article….a good read.

So, for now,  I have decided to have at least one meal a day of fruit only (breakfast) or veggies only (lunch or supper), and at least 8 cups of water per day. This will allow me to reduce my calorie intake and to increase my fibre intake without the burden of counting calories each day.  When I am ready I will upgrade to 2 meals per day of veggies or fruit…..but not yet.
