How I did it: 1. instead of eating a couple big meals, many small meals every day, 6 or so small meals each day.  dont forget to brush teeth :)  not too hard tho haha ur dentist will get pissed!   lots of small meals keeps your metabolism high, which not only keeps calories burning but gives you way more energy :)

2. first meal, carbohydrates- anyone who says you shouldnt have any carbs is dumb, mostly cause no carbs hurts brain function!  frosted mini wheats, cheerios, oatmeal, who cares but have some carbohydrates in the morning along with some fruit (sugar to wake you up a bit!)

3. avoid carbs late in the day, it wont help, try to focus on protean like beans and fish/chicken.  also obviously cut mayonaise/etc out of your diet as much as possible.

4. walk as much as you can, I walked to work each day about a mile, walk to get lunch and back.

Lessons & tips: its really hard to get into these habits at first, try to get friends or family to do it with you at least for a while so you have some support, but after a couple weeks it gets way easier and about a month in it is just like riding a bike

Resources: friends, family, boredom lol
