Welcome! You have received lots of good advice already. I agree with Robin
" My plan involves calorie counting (built in portion control and accountability), with a strong emphasis on whole foods, while avoiding the sugar-y, non-veggie, non-fruit - carbs. I also aim for volume because I like/need/want to eat lots of food. I eat frequently to avoid getting hungry and I drink lots of water to help fill me up. I slowly added in exercise as well."
That is exactly what I do as well. I try to go as organic and whole food as possible. I started out changing my food around before worrying about counting calories. Once I got the menu down, I focused on the actual caloric intake. I've noticed that when I keep it to whole, organic foods, and use veggies as my volumizer it is super easy to stay in my calorie range.
Good luck and I hope to see you around!
