If you started not too long ago and you're already wondering how you'll 'survive', that doesn't bode well for being able to not only lose weight, but to keep it off.

Dieting should never be anything extreme like cutting out entire meals or food groups. Binge dieting like that may grant you results pretty quickly, but they won't be sustainable and will often result in the dieter not only gaining it back just as quick but maybe a few extra pounds in addition to that.

Make small changes, something that's not overly painful. Like maybe cut your regular portions to 3/4 of their typical size. Carbs only for breakfast, eating out only once a week. Things like that which will cut your calories but be relatively manageable to uphold for the long-term.

It shouldn't really be a diet, you should be wanting to eat right the right way for yourself, you're allowed to have sweets in moderation just don't over due it. The whole point of feeling your body with good things is to feel better mentally and physically and it's just GOOD for you. Hang in there, you can do this, eating healthy doesn't mean it can't taste good x

Are you confusing dieting with starving?

If maintaining weight by changing diet is too difficult, you could just ditch food entirely and go with soylent.

Smoothies for dinner, plenty of recipes out there. Eat a normal breakfast,, lunch and a snack. Drink plenty of water, work out 4 times a week. Lost 50lbs Ina year, easy to lose, hard to keep off after.

If a diet is difficult then you're not dieting the right way.

Eat plenty of protein and fat, get your fiber high, and drink a lot of water
