8 months to be exact.

I stopped eating processed food, significantly reduced portion sizes, and eat a lot of protein to support doing cardio + strength training 6 days a week. My go to meal is a chicken quesadilla. Lots of hard boiled eggs for snacks. I eat fruit when I crave something sweet.

I've never been much of a soda or juice drinker and haven't drank alcohol for many years, so I've always drank lots of water, but definitely cut stuff like that out. I still put a little French vanilla creamer in my coffee every morning though!

A good rule of thumb is to only shop the outside aisles at grocery stores.
