Eating less is key, but there a few items that important to keep in mind: 1. You have to replace your food with healthy variants, fruits, vegetables, proteins, etc. Otherwise your body will not be satisfied and ironically eating healthy food with the right portion will fill you up just fine. 2. Drink water during the day, this reduces craving, keeps you hydrated and is refreshing! 3. Get your sleep under control. In my experience, if you lack sleep, your body will signal the need for more calories 4. KEEP TRACK. This is very important, every morning, before your routine, go on a scale and get your weight. You can get one of those fancy scales that automatically stores data; this is important because weight loss is not visible initially and you will be discouraged. 5. This is a lifestyle change, so be kind and patient with yourself, even if you slightly gain some back, it's ok because if your _mindset_ is of a healthy life, then you can always get back on track quickly. Last point: Junk food really is poison for your body. Your body has been gifted to you through millions of years of evolution and it doesn't do it justice to fill it with disgusting sugary foods! Best of luck to you.

You don't need to eat less: you need to spend more calories than you consume. So, there are different ways to arrive there : - eat food with less calories, such as veggies, soup, shrimp, mushrooms - exercise more, but this is hard, as it's often said "you can't outrun a bad diet" - eat the same type of food but less of it, ie eat less/be hungry I've done 1 with success, then gained some weight during the first pandemic year and then tried 3, with intermittent fasting. Both worked, but I wouldn't recommend fasting or being hungry as a 1sr option to anyone, as it can reenforce the idea that "you need to starve to be healthy", which is quite wrong.
