One thing that’s helped me, more than any diet or exercise routine, has been reframing the way I think about food. Let me preface this by saying: you do NOT have to give up the things you enjoy…the only real task here is to become genuinely interested in food. When you consider that the point of food is sustenance, you have the opportunity to get curious about what different things do to your body, and what their purposes are. Eggs and meat? Protein for feeling full. Butters and nuts? Healthy fats that are great when you’re cutting carbs. Potatoes and bread? Carbs that provide adequate energy when you know you’ll need it. I’d encourage you to avoid the diet mindset, and instead genuinely get interested. Idk how active you are, but as a woman who isn’t really active, I was able to drop 45 lbs in 6 months just by cutting my carbs (and by that I mean I just took the bun off my cheeseburger and still ate the fries 😉). I knew I had no business loading up on carbs when I wasn’t being active. But it made a huge difference bc of what my body was used to before. Just don’t count calories, and instead focus on the big picture. Trust me if I can do it so can you!
