Put your stats into MFP, find out how many calories to eat to lose 2-1lbs a week, buy a food scale, and then don’t exceed your daily calorie goal. That’s it. Endomorph or whatever means nothing.

That^^

Body fat scales aren't accurate and body types (eg: endomorph) are not a thing.

Eat less than you burn, it works.

Also, do not be super restrictive. There is no point in it and it can lead to bad habits. Weight loss takes a lot of time so be kind to yourself. There is nothing wrong with having treats if you can fit them in daily or weekly calorie budget.

Thanks!! It’s all so confusing!

Then keep it simple at the start. This doesn't have to be rocket surgery.

1. Get calorie target from MFP by entering your details
2. Buy a food scale so you can accurately monitor and track your calorie intake.
3. Eat whatever food you like in amounts that (roughly) meet your calorie target.


That's it. 3 things. Simple (but not always easy). Then once you get more experienced you can tackle the more complex aspects (if you even want/need to)

If you're obese right now and you want to get to a 'normal' weight range, then you definitely don't want to do something super-restrictive! Losing a significant chunk of weight will take time, so you want to figure out a plan than you can live with for months and months at a time.

Of course, the first thing to do is to figure out your calorie allowance- MFP will help with that.

The second thing? Buy a kitchen weighing scales!

Once you've that done, you can experiment a little.

Some people find they feel fuller and happier eating six small meals/snacks a day. Others find that just makes them feel hungry all the time, and prefer to eat a couple of large meals per day and not snack at all. Still more people find a balance somewhere in the middle.

And similarly, you'll meet people who swear that eating more protein fills them up faster... and other people who swear by filling up on carbs or fat.

There's people who like to eat a big volume of veggies so they have a really full plate... and other people who find they prefer smaller volume meals with higher caloric density.

And there's even more people who aren't that bothered either way with all of the above, and who fit their eating plans around convenience and their routine.

There's only one way to find out where you are on any of those scales, and that's to try things out. But as long as you stick within your calorie limits and weigh&log all your food to be sure you are sticking within the limits, you'll lose weight all the same.

Best of luck! It's a long journey- so do work out how you can stick to that journey and have fun on the way. And- don't beat yourself up too much about a mistake here and there. You're only human. It'll be fine as long as you just chalk it down and keep chuggin' along

Regardless of what it's called, it all comes down to CICO, so how bout NO diet...make a lifestyle change.
