Healthy eating help?

Drink water instead of soda.

Food needs to be clean 6 days a week; one day off where you get to have some fun.

On the 6 days, you eat only lean meats/clean protein (egg, whey, chicken breast) and small amounts of carbs (brown bread/rice, sweet potatoes, normal potatoes and normal rice is fine but keep it to 1 cup or less). The more cardio you do the faster you'll lose the weight.

Remember it doesn't matter when you consume the calories, it matters how many calories you consume vs. burn. Keep track until you don't have to anymore: it will help you fathom truly how many calories each food type has.

Also go to the gym every week 3x/week without fail.

BIGGEST TIP: It takes a long time, patience is key. It could be a year before you drop 100 pounds, maybe 2 years. It took me 4 months to drop 30 pounds back when I was cutting. JUST BE CONSISTENT, and don't focus too much on the outcome because it's not gonna be quick.

Don't ever buy junk food again for the rest of your life. Even on cheat days once a week, stick to cheat meals not snacks. Snacks won't fill you up, give protein or carbs, or satisfy your cravings. Eat a chicken parm or a medium pizza instead of 4 bags of chips and 3 nutella sandwiches.

No alcohol, minimal sugar and caffeine. Ideally, the only beverage you ought to be drinking is water. Tea's okay if you like tea. You'd be surprised how much weight people can lose just by cutting out alcohol and soft drinks.

No more stupid carbs. If it comes out of a box, bag, jar, or factory, you don't eat it. Your only carbs come from the earth. Vegetables, with a strong emphasis on the leafy green ones. You're a human being, so occasional fruits or starchier vegetables as a treat are probably okay. Don't touch wheat, corn, or soy.

Keep your protein lean-ish. You don't have to go insane here - dark meat from birds is fine. Fish is fine. The occasional cow and pig are fine. Just when you have a choice, opt for bird or fish over hamburgers.

Don't eat dairy. You're not an infant.

Download Myfitnesspal and track your macros and caloric intake. You can't eyeball how much you're eating when you've been 275# for much of your life. You're too used to being overweight. You need to log your food and track things.

Start working out today. Don't keep making excuses about how you'll do it next month when you have more money, or after you start losing some weight, or how it's okay to not because you're "walking" now. Fuck that. Work out. Eat high protein, low-carb.

Check out the keto subreddit. That diet is great and will turn you into a fat burning machine. Keto is a low-carb, no sugar diet. It gets your body into a state of ketosis where you burn fat as your primary source of fuel. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions and want to do it.

It will take time but don't be discouraged. Especially in the beginning the pounds will fall off you. it also becomes easier as your body doesn't have sugar and fat cravings like it used to. The two trigger each other. What's funny is that I eat a lot more now than before, just healthier (lean) meats, no sauces etc.

Have your 1x a week cheat meal. (In one sitting). This will help keep your resolve longer term.

Definitely learn how to cook and pre-package weighted/sized servings. (Meal prep)
