A healthy nutritious diet will result in weight loss. So instead slowly reduce your processed foods, sugar and trans fats. Concentrate on whole foods and try to cook with fresh ingredients as much as you can. A diet needs to be a life change and it\u2019s hard but it\u2019s worth it. Your mind set needs to be ready for the change. Try to remember how you feel after eating take out and remember that yukky heavy feeling each time you want to go through drive through. Each time you slip back into old habits, enjoy it and move on. Your moments of weakness will get less and less.

Fat is actually necessary for the proper, healthy functioning of the nervous system, so don\u2019t go low-fat! Just be careful to choose \u201cgood fats,\u201d such as olive, coconut, avocado, etc., since these have various health benefits. <\/p>\n<p>As for weight loss, I struggled with it for a long time, discouraged that nothing really worked, no exercise was enough, nothing stuck, until I read a book called Sugar Free by Sonoma Press (which I highly recommend! The ebook goes on sale every so often; check into it), and after reading the science behind the idea, I decided to try the 28-day sugar detox (modified to fit my tastes and budget). <\/p>\n<p>So far, nothing else has worked like low-sugar has, and mind you, I started losing significant weight without doing a lick of exercise. I don\u2019t follow a full-detox lifestyle 100% of the time, only when I feel like I might be giving in to too many little cravings and need a reset, but the majority of what I eat is low-sugar&#x2F;low-carb, and I\u2019m not deprived or bored or going hungry. My mom also follows the same diet and is seeing results of her own. When we need new recipe ideas, Keto is the closest we\u2019ve found to match our needs, and there are TONS of recipes online. <\/p>\n<p>I also sometimes do intermittent fasting, but it\u2019s mostly accidental, on days when I may not eat breakfast till later in the morning. The bulk of my weight loss (45 lbs. and counting!) has been due to low-sugar, and I finally feel like I\u2019ve found something both easy and sustainable to continue and maintain my weight loss and future health.

Measure the intake (calories or other point systems) and collect data morning , lunch and dinner. Then compare day after day, week after week. In parallel, measure your weight and lean&#x2F;fat ratio. Plot, chart, find patterns (week down, weekend up), set targets.
