- For lunch and dinner - Eat a huge bowl of steamed veggies first, a medium bowl of fruits second, a small bowl of plain yogurt third. Wait for 30 minutes after that and only then have your normal meals. This is a very easy way to eat less calories.

- At least 6 glasses of water a day. And juice of at least one lemon a day mixed in water. You will actually see the weight dropping every day.

Th water thing is such crap. I drink 100+ oz of water a day, because I like it, and am overweight.

What does the lemon do to help with weight loss? Serious question.

It isn't crap. Water is good for you. Your body functions best and skin looks better when well hydrated. While water won't make you lose weight, it can help you feel fuller (thus eating less) and keeps water retention/bloating down.

From where do you buy this?

Combine it with inulin. And drink 30 minutes before eating. Also, start eating the veggies every day, as listed above.

What in the world? this is a huge amount of calories to be eating IN ADDITION to lunch and dinner? I dont even think youd have room in your stomach for anything else

I buy online from this vendor. Very good quality. https://www.bulksupplements.com/products/inulin-fos-powder

I have not tried looking for cheaper sources because I like their stuff.

Does it give you abdominal cramps or gas?

Food-wise:
No liquid calories (alcohol, lattes, etc)
Salad for lunch, either with avocado or protein (sardines are great)
Bread, rice, or pasta just during one meal a day (at most)
Fruit every day, some dark chocolate occasionally
Dessert once or twice a week
I don't really eat out
I eat dairy, gluten, sugar, etc and I do okay. Portion control is important!
Some of these are hard to maintain with a social life, so get moving...

Movement-wise:
Walk every day, around 45 minutes
Add some muscle through resistance exercises with therabands
(Muscle is really helpful for increasing your metabolic rate, this is also important in the long run)

I think that is the point. Fill up on veggies, fruit and yogurt. You will eat less of he higher calorie meal

Start tracking every single bite of your food using My Fitness Pal or another food tracker, even if you don't change anything about your diet. WEIGH YOUR FOOD! When you eyeball servings, especially of complex carbs and fats, you are typically way off. Once you get to know what a serving looks like (i.e. a serving of brown rice is barely more than a tablespoon) you can relax a little on weighing.

When you want a snack, go brush your teeth and generally the desire subsides. Don't eat any food that comes in a box.

Drink tons of water. You can also have unsweetened tea or flavored seltzer.

I have been aiming to get 50% of my calories from lean protein sources and 25% each of fats and carbs. That seems to work really well for me, but the key is planning out everything that I'm going to eat for the day first thing in the morning. That way I'm not eating dinner and realizing I'm way over on carbs and/or fats and way under on protein.
