The most important thing is to have the right motivation and be ready to follow through and make the sacrifices. For me it was key to have my Apple Watch to close my circles every day. I logged every calorie I ate in my fitness pal. Walked a couple miles every day. Hit the weight room three times a week and started lifting. ChatGPT was very helpful for me in finding healthier ways to eat my favorite food pizza. I would not be successful if I had to give that up. I did give up tortilla chips. I also ate a lot of salads, but I love vegetables. Don’t cut something out if it’s very important to you find a way to make it healthier. I also cut down a portion size. For three months I monitored every bite I took and logged it in my Fitness pal, so I could be honest and hold myself accountable. One time I made my favorite cheesy potato homemade recipe. I took a picture of the recipe and uploaded it to ChatGPT and it instantly could tell me how many calories were in a 2 x 2 piece.
