I’m currently a lump of chocolate and cheese, but once the new year hits, I’m determined to make 2026 the year I finally get back to a healthy weight (I’ve lost about 20 pounds, with about 80-100 to go). I’m pretty good about exercising regularly, but, as they say, abs are made in the kitchen. Those who have successfully lost weight, is there anything you particularly recommend for maintaining a calorie deficit to lose the weight, and then avoiding gaining it back later on?

  • Eat better food.
  • Proteins get about 15% calorie discount due to processing.
  • Track everything.
  • Get a good kitchen scale, because mass is the ONLY good way to track.
  • Find a few things you love that you can eat on repeat, so it is easy to eat and easy to track.

The way out comes but once; be steadfast.
