I’m currently a lump of chocolate and cheese, but once the new year hits, I’m determined to make 2026 the year I finally get back to a healthy weight (I’ve lost about 20 pounds, with about 80-100 to go). I’m pretty good about exercising regularly, but, as they say, abs are made in the kitchen. Those who have successfully lost weight, is there anything you particularly recommend for maintaining a calorie deficit to lose the weight, and then avoiding gaining it back later on?

    Hey, so I dropped weight casually and all I did was:

    • Limit snacks. Best to zero, but minimum to one a week.
    • Your food portion? Cut it in half. Fat folk tend to eat big portions, I know I did, cut it in half.
    • Don’t eat constantly, predefine 3 times you are gonna eat, that’s it. For me it’s breakfast, second breakfast (at work) and dinner.
    • Drink water when hunger is too big.

    You will be hungry, a lot for some time but shortly it will stabilise and you’d mainly feel hunger around food time.

    After time, my body stabilised around 15kg lower than I were when I began, and that’s with me breaking it quite often xD
