Congratulations! Care to share any tips on how you've been successful with everyone here?
The first one in my experience would be to reduce or cut out soda and beer.
Oh yeah, liquid calories are absolutely a killer. Even stuff like orange juice or fruit juice in general has insane amounts of calories.
I haven't done anything fancy really, just focusing on being aware of how many calories I consume. Not necessarily counting them, but having a general idea. This past month I've only been eating different variations of chicken, vegetables, rice, and beans.
Just cutting out empty carbs and replacing with higher protein/fat foods will naturally fill you up more with fewer calories.
Also, if you know you've hit your calorie limit for the day and are still dying of hunger, drink a large glass of water. Just chug it and that shaking stomach feeling of being hungry goes away for a while, at least in my experience.
