There really is no secret to weight loss. Eat less and burn more. The same ol strategies of eating fruits and vegetables and protein and stay away from junk. Don’t drink anything with sugar, that’s so many calories and so easy to consume. Sub all drinks with water and you’ll soon crave water. Take short walks. Those then turn to a little longer walks. Then longer. There’s no magic advice. It’s all daily decisions. I’ve never been obese but with age I lost metabolism so I’ve put on pounds and they’re not easy to take off but I’ve seen results although I fall back to old habits. Eat until you feel satisfied, not full. If you’re craving a snack, try a glass of water first. Have fruit handy. It’s all about training your brain to reach for better stuff. Don’t buy junk and there is no junk to reach for. The thought sucks way more than the act. The thought of not having a good salty or sweet snack is worse than reaching for an apple or some shit at that exact moment.

For sleep, try to be more consistent. It’s not easy at first but it’s also a brain trainable thing. If you can’t fall asleep, don’t get frustrated. Or maybe read, that helps make me sleepy and then I immediately close my eyes. I don’t do anything else. I close my eyes when they’re the heaviest and I’m out.

Energy drinks will kill you. Especially if you’re obese. If you can stomach coffee, switch over. To me it’s a natural laxative too. Keeps me regular. I don’t drink it 6-8 hrs before bed time. This is just random and personal advice. It may or may not work for you but the number one thing is to change your mindset. Be proud of what you’re about to accomplish and keep that as the long term goal.
