Good luck. I've found moderation has helped me the most. Instead of 5 pieces of pizza in the past, it's no more than 2. I have found it so hard to completely cut out a specific food or food type. I'm not losing as fast as I'd like (I can stand to lose about 25), but it's slow and steady and hopefully will stay off if I stay moderated.
I like this approach. Start with little things such as:
-Portion control
-drink more water
-if you drink a can of pop a day, try dropping down to 4-5 a week
-don't eat food after 8 PM
My biggest issue is lots of foods
Skipping to the end to share my ever-important opinion.....
Regardless of your dietary tribe (vegan, paleo, carnivore, balanced, etc.) I think nutritional density is an ever-important theory to keep in mind. The number of empty, wasted, unfulfilling calories we eat is mind boggling. I could easily eat 5000 calories in a day and still feel hungry.
That theory helps me (sometimes....) make good decisions. Is that huge bowl of cereal really worth 500 calories to my body at 8pm? Or would i be more satisfied with a can of salmon & an avocado? If you're hungry.... eat. But make it count nutritionally so you're not hungry again for a while.
This is something I struggle with. I can eat a lot but not feel "full". However, I'm also a picky eater so trying to find things that fill me up that are good for me is tough. I'm not overweight, but I'm definitely not toned like I used to be. Basically just "dad bodding it" at almost 35.
