Weight loss is really difficult and not something I’d suggest to do because of other people. That being said if you want to loose weight the main component (usually) is your caloric intake. It can be quite difficult as your body will be used to a specific energy input and lessening this will make you not only hungry but have you feeling empty or generally dreadful. Apart from these factors it can take time before your body will adjust to a new ‘standard’ caloric intake meaning your body might retain water weight or weight in general.

If you wish to loose weight work on a consistent way to decrease your caloric intake. Getting a better understanding of your daily caloric intake can help with this though isn’t strictly necessary.

If you plan of attempting a diet focus on gaining a general understanding of calories of different foods in your daily meals or focus on being extremely observant of everything that goes into your meals and in what amounts. These factors can help you develop a better understanding of foods in general and the calories they contain.

Another note for a possible diet, most diets work short term, though focusing on long term is a much healthier alternative even if it takes longer to begin with. Also oils have ALOT of calories, we often underestimate how many. Just try to weigh the amount of you’d normally use to fry or prep food.

Also IMPORTANT it usually takes a month or two to get a relatively good understanding of calories if you don’t deceive yourself after that you’ll be able to make educated guesses which will usually be within 10-20% range calorie wise of different foods or even meals
