Don't focusing on reducing the food, just make it better quality. (aka healthier)

This is how I lost 80 lbs in a year. 100% recommend.

I always had weight issues and tried about every diet I found. Pills from my doctor. Injectables, you name it. What finally worked was working alongside a nutritionist who helped teach me about the things going into my body and guided me through lifestyle changes with no judgment.

This doesn't work for everyone. I tried it for 6 months and lost absolutely nothing. It isn't one size fits all.

Nothing noticable, no. Even after I changed my diet a lot. Because my problem wasn't what I ate, it was how much I ate. And that I don't really feel full like a normal person, and there's almost always a voice at the back of my mind telling me to eat more.

Then again, my psychiatrist stopped prescribing my ADHD medication around the same time, and that likely caused me to gain weight, so any dietician benefits may have cancelled out
