Figure out your why, if your why isn’t strong, you will never reach your goals

Protein > fiber > fat. In that order

Eat slow, like reeeeeeaaallllllyyyy slow

Never fill up your fork/spoon more than halfway

Take a sip of water/drink between each bite

Make your food look pretty (fresh herbs 🌿)

If you must eat dessert, do it before the meal (this way you’re more likely to stick to ur pre planned portions)

Plan your meals ahead of time

If you have less than 1 hour to eat, don’t

Figure out your TDEE if you were sedentary and DONT go under that (seriously, your metabolism will thank you)

IRON IRON IRON (especially if you are vegetarian/vegan)

Also b12

Do not punish by restricting food and do not reward by eating food, this avoids binge/restrict cycles

Do not weigh when on your period/the week leading up to your period. But always weight on the other days

Get a year long subscription to a c@l0rie counting app, makes you less likely to stop using it

Find a workout you like and that also builds up strength resistance (I like swimming and dancing)

If you’re going to workout, don’t eat two meals, one before and one after. Instead split 1 meal into 2 parts. Before working out: eat the carbs of the meal. After working out: eat the protein and fats.

Brush your teeth after every meal.

Keep some ez snacks (salty AND sweet) that you strongly dislike on you at all times. That way if you feel faint you can have a snack but you are unlikely to eat it out of gluttony.

Kinda basic but: drink water, sleep well, walk as much as possible (I’m chronically ill so obviously, know your limits)

Also pretty basic, buy clothes that are too small

If you want your weight loss to actually mean something/be more accurate. Or if u just want to avoid being sk1nni f@t by doing strength training and gaining muscle. A typical scale isn’t enough. You need body measurements and/or a scale that measure body f@t %.

I swear probiotics lower your appetite. I’ve never researched this, it’s just a feeling in my gut (hehe, get it). I really like kimchi and kombucha.
