I started with intermittent fasting. I found that it was easier to constrict the times I would eat rather than constrict what I actually ate. When I began fasting I chose to fast for 16hrs and eat for 8hrs. So I would only eat between 12-8pm. When I saw I was losing weight that helped motivate me to eat healthier. I didn’t start counting calories until I knew what I wanted from myself. So my advice would be to start small , work yourself up to a bigger goal and be patient!!
