how to diet

Start by learning how to use the resources on this site and read previous post's by others who have gone down the same path you are on. It's all about making smarter choices but not depriving yourself of what you love. Forget the term diet and don't obsess over the numbers on the scale. If you eat less calories than you burn, you will lose weight.

Learn from mistakes, repeat for 100 years.

Ditch the word diet and rename it healthier eating xx

Personally, I'm eating at a calorie deficit. It IS a diet, not just healthier eating.
