I can give you things to research yourself that help me.

🎈Documentaries, food series, etc have really helped me repair my relationship with food. Game changers, fat sick and nearly dead, heal, secret eaters episodes, weightloss journey on youtube, What i eat in a day on yourube have really helped me.

🎈Research Starch Solution, Nutritarian diet, whole30, keto, paleo, intermittent fasting etc. What i found that most diets have in common is eating whole foods and limiting refined and processed man made foods for weightloss and good health.

🎈I practice calorie deficit. I used a Tdee calculator online to help determine how many calories i burn. Then I eat way less. I consume 1200 calories a day. I try to eat vegetables and protein because veggies are low calorie and healthy. Protein makes you feel full. For my sweet tooth i swapped my favorites for lower calorie treats. I love fiber one 70 calorie brownie warmed up topped with spoon of i e cream or whip cream. That replaces my grocery bakery slices of cake that were 3-500 calories a slice. I like chocolate rice cakes with a small drizzle of peanut butter they are 60 calories plus 30 calories for peanut butter. I buy granola bars that are less than 100 calories and pre packaged single serve cookie packs that are less than 100 calories. I limit myself to one treat a day if i have craving and avoid if i dont. I walk 4-6 miles and do stairs. Im currently looking into online workouts which are cool as well.

I look up fast food restaurants menus so i hve an idea of the calories and macros and see its not really worth it. If i have a craving i work it in. I also decided if I do go out to a restaurant i will order whatever i want... but only eat half with a half plate of veggies. And save the other half for next day. Ive been trying to do lifestyle changes and do things that i dont feel too deprived and give up. I replced all my must haves such as chinese, cake, pizza with swaps that i can control. I either make a mini pizza or buy the single serve frozen kind so i know the calories etc and can satisfy the cravings.

Ultimately it is a mindset change that is required and that took me researching and then changing to sustainable habits. I spent my life trying hard core dieting and it didnt work ao this is my new method and 🥰 love it!
