I think this is great advice. For a while I had a dietician and a nutritionist (both provided by the U.S. Olympic Committee). They suggested two things: no sugary drinks--I'd been addicted to Coke for years--and intermittent fasting, but this was 1998, so it wasn't really well known. I quit drinking coke and forced myself to become addicted to water. I also had two roommates from the Ukraine who convinced me that moderate amounts of beef and plenty of fish (which I'd never liked) would give me a lean physique. It worked. 20 years later, I still snack on fruit and nuts throughout the day, then have a Steak and Eggs dinner, or pasta with homemade sauce (my college roommate went to the San Francisco Culinary Institute and shared some secrets with us)…cheap, delicious, and nutritious.
I have a jar of homemade pasta sauce that I'm about to heat up and pair with some cheese ravioli and Italian meatballs and a side of sourdough bread with garlic and basil infused true butter. Not sure if that sounds good to anyone else, but it's a go-to, simple meal.
Point of the story is that I've maintained my college weight for 20 years by following the suggestions of my dietitian and nutritionist. Eating well has served me better than lifting heavy weights, which I've also tried.
