    lose weight for looser clothes :wink:

    if your aim is to lose weight then you need to start calorie counting and logging a defecit - but you don't need to cut anything you love out. Try to hit your protein and fats macros and don't try to go too fast

    good luck

    What has work for me.. and I had to get used to it.... is preparing my meals on sunday... I look up healthy recipes and just buy what I need sunday morning... I usually make 3 different meals enough for just that one week.. for breakfast I make quinoa vegetables breakfast muffins( just put them in the microwave for 30 seconds and that's it)... I put my lunch and dinner meals in portion containers and I stick to that... but if I want a cookie or a piece of chocolate I will have A cooke and a small piece of dark chocolate. I try to keep fruit for my sweet tooth.... I also recommend smoothies... the healthy ones... good luck and I hope this helps...

    That's something I need to do is get a nutri bullet or something like that cause it's hard with my line of work I'm a fisherman so 9 months out of the year I'm out to sea and out there you eat what they provide for you but fortunately enough now I work on a boat that does buy a lot of fruit and vegetables so I try to stay away from the meats and make some smoothies
