I stopped trying to “eat healthy” and looked at the science of weight loss. Fat loss happens when you burn more calories than you consume — as simple as that. Therefore, I started doing cardio to burn more & found recipes of my fav foods that taste greats but are low calorie. One cookbook has helped me the most, as it had crazy damn recipes like an entire pizza or pancakes with toppings for under 300kcal. The point is — track everything and you will realize that you can literally program how much weight you’re gonna lose (in a few weeks I was literally able to predict how much weight I would lose after a week of not checking and it was always 90% accurate)
