    You know you don't need to cut out things you love to lose weight right? its all about taking in less calories than you burn - i.e eating at calorie deficit. Personally I could never have stuck to any 'diet' if it meant cutting out foods I loved, yet here I am in year 6 of maintaining a 30lb weight loss, no food is considered bad/naughty, just some have more calories than others so I eat less of those.

    Log every single thing you eat, choose the verified food entries in the database, use a food scale - that's the biggest tip because weighing our food is really eye opening and helps us see what portion sizes really look like.

    All the best.

    Thanks for responding I needed some kind of knowledge because I literally don't know what I'm doing I just know I want to lose weight and willing to do some work.. where can I get a food scale ? And how many times do you eat a day ? And how much water do you drink ? Sorry for all the questions I need help lol 😩

    That's not true, there are foods that are bad for you, and soda and alcohol are tops on the lost along with trans fats. Yes will lose weight with a deficit, but that doesn't mean your healthy.
