  • welcome. to back up what everyone else has said on this thread already, don't treat this as a diet - it's the wrong mentality and in my experience diets = short term fixes that don't work. coming on here, having a set amount of calories as a guideline for you is a healthy way to lose weight and live a permanently healthier…
