I follow a simple diet called “half”. I eat a half portion of whatever I’d like. I don’t eat any better or worse, just less of it. Did you know a frozen burrito has 300+ calories? Eat one, not two. Portion controls are essential, don’t get a tub of ice cream, get a box of little ice creams, and then eat one instead of gobbling two or more. Giant bowl of pasta? Half now, half goes in the fridge for tomorrow, instead of packing my gut full.
I probably cheat enough that I’m getting 2/3 or 3/4 of my full calorie intake, but it’s good enough that I’ve lost 30 lbs in a couple years, I’m not putting it back on, and it’s required no real hardship.
