a lot of people approach losing weight from a restricting food intake perspective. it doesn't need to be that way, though. one way to think of it as being more about REPLACING certain foods with certain OTHER foods.
in particular... keeping up your intake of protein (meat, fish). and INCREASING the amount of non-root veges (in particular) and probably also things like rice and oats (if your belly can learn to tolerate them).
dan john has this wonderful thing on how you can eat whatever you like AFTER you have eaten... then a bunch of food that must be eaten in one day... AFTER you have eaten up everything you are supposed to be eating... the point is... there isn't much room left for anything else.
or...
eat 6 apples. then do you still feel like that big mac? probably not... do you still feel hungry? probably not, again...
around 2 or 3 hours later you are hungry again. of course you are. that's the way digestion works. its okay to eat regularly (nearly constantly almost) so long as you are eating foods that are mostly water (fresh produce).
most people don't eat nearly anywhere near enough protein...
in other words: don't be afraid to eat. if you turn orange it might be time to cut back on the carrots... don't be afraid of water, either... green tea...
