I want to stop eating food that is making me overweight.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I started counting calories. And it's works pretty well. Maybe give it a try.

Yup doing that as well as personal trainer. The cravings and eating out are what kill me. So I started eating out once a month and making my own lower cal pizza.

Have you tried healthy alternatives tho? While i was never overweight, like most people i did enjoy unhealthy food way more than healthy food. But after a lot of trying, i get as excited for roasted Brussel sprouts and asparagus as i was for deep fried bullshit. There is a lot of food that isn't as boring as it seems and it's also healthy.

My friend has a history of overeating and was about 70 lbs heavier than she is now. She started a keto diet that helped her get to her current weight/size, and now employs a modified diet where she goes keto regularly rather than stay on a strict diet all the time. It seems to work well for her since she can regularly eat whatever she wants between breaks. If you're interested, I could ask her for online resources. Let me know 🙂👍

Than you kind stranger. I am actually doing modified keto now with no salt. Thanks again!
