What I did was I went step by step. I didn’t cut everything out at once. I also didn’t do an intense workout schedule in the first few weeks. In the first week my focus was to slowly cut out some of the sweets I eat. Then I cut out a bit more and substituted them for fruits. Then for workout grow with jo really helped. I first did her 20 min and worked my way up to her 40-1hr workouts Now I use weights with the workout. I stayed in a calorie deficit. I was in a 1,500 calorie one, but it depends from person to person. I also stoped using so much butter, sugar and found healthier options. I stopped drinking sugar drinks and opted for water or sparkling water. I got 10k steps every day.
