    Good news, this will be easy for you. No need to pick a diet plan to follow. Track your calories for a week or so and then see if can make any small changes to your intake. What is your goal?

    That sounds overwhelming and frustrating. There is so much garbage information out there. Eat this, don't eat that, high fat, high carb, etc, etc, etc. And they all contradict each other. It just doesn't have to be that complicated. The best diet, is the one that you can stick to long term. Log what you are eating now, and look it over to see what might be going on. How much are you wanting to lose? I found this thread incredibly helpful when I first got here:

    Sounds like you have not much to lose. Read the stickies at the top, I love this one.

    Ugh me!!! I don’t want to research anymore diets! Also, why can’t kale taste like the Oreo truffles I just made for Christmas?! I’d be healthy as hell, then 😆

    Don't diet.

    Just eat what keeps YOU satisfied within your calorie limit.

    Well done for using the forums. Lots of great information in here. Check out the sticky announcements "Helpful Posts" in the community sections.
