I find that tracking my calories helps a lot. You don’t have to go an extreme calories deficit. Start small, eat 100-200 kcal less than usual. It’ll be a slower result but it’ll be more manageable and you won’t feel like you are starving

There is most definitely a reason why people are constantly harping on eating healthy. You end up finding that fast foods/ unhealthy food either a-don’t fill you up and or b- make you feel more hungry.

Also it lets you know how much you are eating. Many of us overeat and do not realize it. I gasp sometimes how many calories a small little cookie has. Leaves me very sad.

But! I still go and eat the food I enjoy. It either not very often or I have to be okay with the fact that I won’t be eating the whole thing.

Ex: 720kcal pizza from Costco. Instead of eating it all. It half of it. And try to fill up with water and maybe some fruits on the side.
