    Sometimes you can eat the calories given but if it's not the right food you will not lose I speak from experience. I started at 193 on 8/12/15 and I am down to 170 to date. What has helped me is I set myself up for a 30 day challenge against myself with a realistic goal of 5 pounds in one month and I always do better. I only weigh myself once a month but the scale is my frenemy. Go by how your clothes feel.

    This is 100% absolutely false.

    If people had to stick to a certain macro distribution or combination of foods to lose weight, then how could starvation ever happen?

    With 11 lbs to lose you should only be trying to lose .5lb a week. It's slower but more sustainable. I have no idea what your setting is but want to mention this.

    What you eat makes no difference, only how much. I speak from experience after eating pizza nearly every weekend, ice cream daily and whatever else I like. I'm 44, 5'1" and have lost 50 pounds. It was only when I realized I didn't have to give anything up and that most of what we're told about losing weight is absolute bull$#$% that it became so much more simple.
