To lose weight, you need to sustain a caloric deficit (or burn more calories than you consume).
One of the most effective strategies I’ve found for doing this with your diet is to not focus on what you’re eating, but focus on how much you’re eating.
Remember that a simple system that works is better than a complex system that fails. It can be hard to sustain a sudden diet change, or try to count every calorie.
But it’s easy to sustain your current diet, so why not start there and just reduce your serving sizes?
If you want to increase your chances for success here, buy smaller plates and bowls. It’s a clever psychological trick where you’ll feel more satisfied finishing a small plate that’s full than a large plate that’s not full.
And if you’re worried about feeling hungry, you’ll be surprised how quickly your body adjusts. Be sensible though, as you’re aiming for sustainable change, not sudden dramatic change.
