When we are young a diet often works.
When we get older a life style change is your only chance.
You need to be hardcore for the first 4 weeks to break bad habits. More cravings than you would imagine will disappear. Yes it will be very difficult in the beginning. If you can make a month with no cheats you can ease back just a little, but not a lot. If you can do this you also have the will power to achieve your goals.
No snacks and drink only water, crystal light or green tea. Lean protein is the base of your meals with mainly fruits and vegetables. You do not need to eat 6 small meals a day 3 is fine. It is not time consuming as hardboiled eggs and apples can count as a meal on the go in a pinch. You can even buy hard boiled eggs already made at the stores now. Learn to cook with spice and marinades. Keep carbs, even healthy carbs low. Be the one who packs your lunch.
Sugar free Jell-O when you get a sugar craving. One small piece of dark chocolate when you get chocolate craving. A hand full of nuts if you must have a snack with a piece of fruit.
Find a way to move that you enjoy.
If you do this you will not only lose weight faster than you planned but it will stay off for good.
There is too much information out there so keep learning, but keep it simple in the beginning. A good plan started now is better than a great plan you never start or stay on.
I would not be surprised if you do the above that you lose all the 90 pounds in less than a year. Losing weight is simple it is the will power most lack.
When you lose the weight you want, you will be shocked at how much more you can eat and still maintain your weight.
Most people gain weight largely because they eat too much at night and they often consume more shit calories from snacking and drinking caloric beverages than calories from their actual meals.
Find hobbies other than watching TV. Throw all the shit food away today from your pantry. This includes diet soda and baked lays. Eat to live do not live to eat. Do not cenetr all of your plans and activitires around restauarnts.
I work around a bunch of women that are always on diets and talk everday about what unhealthy item they are going to eat for lunch. They can only lose weight on Adipex. They will loose 50 pounds on Adipex but always gain it back and more. This is what you do not want to do.
If you have a shit meal limit it to one that was eaten outside of your house and get back on the wagon.
If you want to hold yourself accountable put up a picture of yourself monthy with your weight. You can erase your face if you want.
