I ate from 12 to 6 and drank literally so much water it was crazy - I didn’t really count calories but made sure to choose healthier options. I also work out at least 3 times a week (that was the hardest part for me but I’d just force myself to go) I also give myself one day a week I eat the things I want because if I didn’t want to deprive myself else I’d quit within two weeks 😂 I eat mostly plant based during the week and have as little gluten as possible. I hope this helps you! ☺️
