so much Bro Science stupidity on this thread.

OP, Stick with it. Dont do a fad diet.

At the end of the day, no matter what diet or plan you do, it all comes down to calories in vs calories out.

Yep.

1. Start lifting weights. Start with stronglifts 5x5

2. Set your calories at 10 kcal / lbs body weight

3. Set you macros at:
Protien 40%
Fat 30%
Carbs 30%

4. Eat whatever the hell you want, so long as it fits in your calorie and macronutrient goals. Protien is most important. You'll end up eating lean meats and vegetables at least some of the time, because as your body reacts to the calorie deficit your hunger will go up - and those foods will present more satiety.

5. Lose weight

6. Aim for 1-2 lbs per week and adjust calories up or down accordingly. You can play with your macros a bit too depending on what you like and how you feel (higher or lower protien, fat or carbs, within 5-7% of my recommendations)

Amazing how people don't get this. It's that simple.

No bread. No rice. No potatoes. No sugar. No alcohol. No cake, pie or other desserts. No Candy. No Mayo. No Hidden Valley, No salad dressing other than oil and vinegar. No bacon. No fried foods.

Eat protein (chicken, eggs, grilled or broiled pork chops, broiled fish, limited beef) and non starch vegetables (carrots, beets, Brussel sprouts, turnip greens, steamed cabbage, steamed or roasted asparagus and cauliflower, onions, tomatoes, celery, radishes, salad with balsamic dressing). Eat fruit. Apples, Peaches, Nectarines, plums, pears, oranges. Eat beans and peas in moderation. Green Beans all you want.

Learn to substitute spices for salt.

Drink water - lots of water. Avoid salt as much as possible. Find a Soluble fiber and use it daily. There is a gummy bear like chewable soluble fiber at Sam's that you can use as a bedtime treat. Two of them a day will keep the stuff moving through you.

Find the recipe for Dolly Pardon Soup and learn to like it because you can eat a lot of the stuff.

Replace your ham sandwich lunch with a couple of boiled eggs and an apple.

You much learn to embrace and learn to live with some hunger at all times, eventually learning that it won't kill you to be hungry. Eventually you will shrink your stomach and it will get better.

When eating, remember that your stomach should be about the size of your closed fist. That is how much you need to eat at any meal, and no more.

Get a big big bag of baby carrots and snack on them.

Get a calorie counting ap (like "My Fitness Pal") for your cell phone and do not cheat on it. Tell it how much weight you want to lose each week and it will tell you how many calories you can eat and then help you count them.

Good luck.
