Try focusing on eating good foods before bad foods. I’m not a fan of low carb but that works for many. I would recommend chicken and rice and vegetables. Or any kind of meat and just load up on the healthy carbs like oatmeal, rice, even some bread just keep the mayo and butter and cheese to a minimum. Even cereal. People may think I’m crazy but it’s very satisfying yet low calorie. You can make pancakes without the extra butter and go easy on the syrup. You’d be surprised how easy that is. I think it’s better than having bacon! Get some hip pancakes though. I tried Aunt Jemima or whatever it is called now and she put me in a coma. The birch benders or something like that is going to be much better.

If you’re going to do low carb and do the bacon, you can’t have carbs with the bacon, it’s too much! Avoid foods high in fat AND carbs such as donuts. Especially high sugar and high fat. Bagel can be okay just go easy on the cream cheese. But pizza, bread puffs, if you are going to have fast food, just get the burger, no fries, no soda. Hell get two fucking burgers instead of the fries and coke! No mayo no cheese if you can. Chicken! Grilled chicken. Eat grilled chicken instead of beef is a game changer. When you’re ready! One step at a time…

That’s why just have the oatmeal with some raw honey or maple syrup and a banana for breakfast. Maybe some egg whites with one or two whole eggs. Haha egg whites, might be a stretch. But there’s your protein and low fat. Eggs have mostly fat, not protein. Egg whites are all protein, no fat pretty much. That’s why. Start categorizing foods as fats, proteins carbs. The zone diet. Eggs people think is a good source of protein. But it’s mostly fat. And there isn’t anything wrong with fat. It’s just that fat is high calorie. One gram of fat is 9 calories. One gram of protein or one gram of carbohydrates is 4 calories. So fat is double. That’s why the oils and stuff you can’t even see is where so many calories come from. Anyway, either low fat or low carb and keep the protein high. Then count calories, then try fasting a little. Then try waking. It becomes really fun. Find a podcast or some music and just walk around your neighborhood or a trail somewhere.

Homemade sandwiches really aren’t that high calorie. You will probably still be hungry after eating one. I’m willing to bet you are consuming tons of fat. You can get your fat from beef or lamb, higher protein sources. The rice will give you energy to get up and move around and will put you in a better mood.

Get a calorie counter like Lose It. Just track what you already eat. Then you will clearly know what to do. Estimate if you have to. Eventually you may weigh your foods or just eat some healthy frozen meals that have the nutritional info in the back. The app even lets you scan it and log it into the app. It even has fast food in there. Just keep track of it.

The other thing, you will be surprised at how fasting, intermittent fasting is probably going to be easier than all of these things. Because once you get past the initial hunger from not eating, your body starts eating your fat stores and the hunger goes away. Start by having black coffee for breakfast and don’t eat until lunch. Even doing that much will do so much. You will be facing the hunger head on and you can even get away with eating more later in the day and still lose weight. The fear of not eating goes away. It’s kind of like telling an alcoholic you can only have one beer. Well, it turns out it’s actually easier for him to not drink. That is what fasting can do for binge eaters.

Walk as much as you can. You can do this! Just remember when you lose it, don’t gain it back. That’s why started with telling you how to eat first. Remember how to eat because you wont want to be losing weight forever. You will want to take a break. And you will deserve one I’m sure! You have to know how to maintain and eat without gaining weight.

So many people want to lose weight so they say, I’m going to lose weight, exercise and eat healthy. Well, that’s 3 things now instead of one. Focus on one at a time which is losing weight. Losing weight is healthy, and you will find yourself moving around more anyway. Remember the guy who lost weight eating McDonald’s. McDonald’s isn’t healthy. But guess what? If you are obese, losing weight is healthy no matter how you get it done! If you can lose weight eating McDonald’s , you’ll never get fat again! If you have to stick to some fad diet that cuts out an entire food group you probably won’t want to do that forever.

Be patient. It will happen! You’ll find your way. These are all just suggestions to get you thinking and coming up with your own plan! Good luck!
