No one can answer your question with so little information.

I don't know for sure what you are going for but I, as a less active and short female, have a lot of great results when I completely cut out bread, pasta, sweets, and really sugary fruits.

When I load up on vegetables and focus on lean meats, and try to cook with as little oil as possible most of the time, it really allows my body to burn my stored fat. I used to be a nutrition counselor and the same thing generally worked for men.

When you eat protein primarily as your hunger-curbing source of food, your body will naturally burn stored fat as its source of carbohydrates. It's not the only way to do things but it generally works.

People doing keto diets sometimes go no carb- which I don't think is truly sustainable because a super high fat diet is not good for our cholesterol long-term.
Some folks carb cycle, meaning they go say, day 1 zero carbs, day 2 40 carbs, day 3 50 carbs, day 4 100 carbs, day 5-7 no carbs, repeat. (a form of elimination diet)

Some people set their goal to be 60 carbs or less a day and just stick to it.

Personally do my best avoiding hunger by setting my goal at 88 carbs or less and a minimum of 110 grams of protein.

Everybody is different and it will also depend on how much sleep you're getting and how much exercise you do.

But basically slashing junk food and processed food is always in our favor. It doesn't work for everybody per cravings but I can't eat in moderation--- so that's what I get rid of. Stuff that my body wouldn't chemically identify as ""true food"".

It's a short term diet that's sometimes used to diagnose food intolerances and/or figure out what food(s) may be causing someone's medical condition to flare up. It involves cutting out a lot of foods out of your diet for a period of time and then gradually adding them back one at a time, all while keeping a journal of how you're feeling and what symptoms you're having.

Given the individual nuances of people's bodies, asking "do you have recipe suggestions" isn't a question that people on the internet (or off the internet) can answer without knowing what someone is eliminating. If someone said, "I'm eliminating nightshades, wheat, alliums, and corn. Does anyone have recipe suggestions?" that would be a very different situation and suggestions for recipes would be something people could give.

Can confirm. I learned about my intolerances this way so well worth it.


I approached it like you would a baby. I picked a breakfast lunch and dinner and made them the same for three days and recorded any findings. The meals were pretty basic and bland but it was easier to observe.


I learned a few things but mostly was how my body does not process gassy or processed carbs. You know those little bits of potatoes or pasta in canned soups? Those will *kitten* me up.
