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.
