Initial water weight loss aside, what works for you for long term weight loss?

[Greentie]

I've done a lot of weight lost and gain in the last year and the best tool to use to control your weight is a calories, protein, carbs, etc. I use My fitness pal, they have a website and an app.

But in general for weight loss you will want to eat something like 1-2 portion of carbs (rice, Oatmeal, etc.), 3 portions of protein (eggs, chicken, fish, etc.) and 3-4 portion of fruit and vegetable. This 3 time per day. Portion vary with your level of activeness. Consulting a nutritionist would be ideal if you are really serious about it

Along with nutrition an active lifestyle will help a lot. Find something that you like and have a constant schedule. Could be swimming, running, going to the gym, it doesn't matter. At least 3 time per week would be good.

Also 2 liters per day of water is necessary for your body to function.

And having a constant bed time/wake will help your body too.

Good luck!

Ya I'm following pretty much the same nutrition plan. I think you might be heavy on the protein if you eat 9 portions a day.

It's not that much to be honest, 4 portion of protein is 160g of chicken. Like I said it all depend of you work out or not and how big you are

Switching to wheat bread, and brown rice instead of white bread and white rice, actually helps a good chunk, and it helps lower your A1Cs. Cutting out red meats, or decreasing the amount of red meat one eats will help too. Also, eat everything in moderation, even the most healthy things can be bad if you eat too much of them.

Cutting out sugar and breads.
