"Remove the sugar. Once you do that, it's stupid easy. It's not a secret, but it's rare for people to really do it. We all scramble around trying to find a trick to avoid doing just that. Lost 60lb and kept them off. For the past year and a half I've been eating less than 10 grams of added sugar per day, no exceptions. After the first 2 weeks, it gets pretty easy. After about 2 months, the idea of eating sugary cr#p feels pretty repulsive. After a year, it's a no-brainer."
"Realizing that you CAN actually control your body weight. You are in the driver seat. Eat 2000 calories but burn 2500 calories a day? You WILL lose weight.
There is no secret to losing weight. End of the day it's Cals in vs Cals out. The control and results are addicting.

I read packages. If I see anything I cannot pronounce, or cannot say what it is, I won't buy/eat it. It keeps my food healthier. Also, if the first ingredient is some kind of sugar, it's out of the question.
100 pounds later, none of the junk food stuff tastes ok to me
