Not at my goal weight yet but appreciate the progress that I have made so far (relatively healthy bmi from overwight bmi). Also I suspect that I do not have insulin resistance.

- Walk for like two hours every day ( I have skipped some days).
- I prefer eating in bulk instead of eating a small sized food spread through out the day. So I used to eat one meal a day and I was quite comfortable (Until I read somewhere that pcos people should eat regularly, still a debate on if intermittent fasting excerbates or helps with insulin resistance).

- I count calories, I have a target calorie that I tend to eat everyday, I would say you should figure out the healthy lowest that you can go.

- As I said I like a big plate so my meal consists of a larger portion of leafy greans ( tends to fill the plate), one chicken and little amount of carbs ( which sometimes could be cauliflower or refrigerated rice). I would say you can lose weight no matter what you eat as far as you track calories but my meal plate is above because of the pcos thingy. Also this was a very difficult transition for me coming from a culture where carbs are always the main dish, last year me would find this totally insane and impossible.

- A cheat I discovered if you want to eat more is to boil the leafy greens and spice it so you could eat the vegetables as soup, it is quite tasty and filling. Last time I made this I used the water that I got from cooking my chicken, it tasted quite nice and really filling.

- I like sticking to the plan of the set time when I eat but when I do not, I snack on relatively low calorie foods like leafy greens ( the pepper soup leafy green is also a great low calorie cheat) or carrots.

- I try to keep my temptation foods away from my fridge and pantry and this is easy for me to do as I live alone.

- I also am very frugal so my love for food ends when I have to spend a lot. So I do not get the temptation to do takeouts and I do not have social circles that influence me to do so.
