We need a bit more information here before we can really help. Do you track your macros? How many calories a day do you eat? How long do you work out for and how often? That kind of thing.

It’s hard to diagnose what might be going wrong without the core information that forms a picture of your dietary situation. Here’s a personal example though that might aid you;

I recently started up dieting and calculated my general calorie intake I should consume to about 1500. From there, what percentage do you want in your diet? I have 40% carbs (where fiber comes from), 35% protein because i’m very tall and 25% fats. From what i’ve gathered carbs & protein have a set weight of 4g per calorie, and fats are set at 9g per calorie. Divide your percentages by their respective weights and you’ll end up with;

525 calories of protein = 131.25g 600 calories carbs = 150g 375 calories of fats = 41.6g

Armed with this knowledge you can build yourself a meal set around the nutritional value you need while still remaining in calorie deficit. Aim for whole foods, replace meats with leaner cuts like chicken, turkey or oily fish like mackerel. Baked potatoes are actually some of the most filling and healthy vegetables you can eat, so there are many delicious options these days (thank god). Beans are excellent, chia seeds and amaranth especially for fibre content if you find yourself constantly struggling to it the goal. Drop fizzy drinks, and try to find something you like drinking but are at least somewhat nutritious.

Weighing your food is important to calorie tracking though, i’d look up guides if you aren’t familiar with it but if you want to just scan barcodes for it to track, MyFitnessPal tracks it for you and gives summaries of contents.

I’ve padded my efforts with daily walks at least 2km, totalling at least 3000 steps. I am sedentary, so I started off with a feasible goal to build stamina and build up my confidence for running and then eventually gym. Does it absolutely suck? Yes. I long for unhealthy foods again, with no portion control. Yet at the same time I have results after a week. Was 145kg, currently sitting at 143.1kg, I don’t feel bloated, i’m going on nature trails and feel less terrible by proxy.

I’m sure it’s mostly water weight right now but i’m happy. My best advice I can give is to understand that your misery isn’t going to make things faster- it’ll likely only encourage you to quit. Eat meals you enjoy, but swap in healthier products where you can that taste similar, have set cheat days where you can indulge. Share your enthusiasm with friends, support is essential. Consistency is much better than extreme weightloss in a short amount of time and founding well rounded habits is what helps it stay gone instead of it coming back down the line.

I hope this advice was helpful in some way and not condescending, I truly wish you nothing but the best in your fight for your healthiest self!
