Just remember it's not rocket science. it's calories consumed versus calories burned. You will get hungry. There is no such thing as going from 3000 calories a day down to less than 2000-1500 without some hunger pangs, no matter what anyone tells you. There's no magic pill, there is no specific diet that will cure that. There have been liquid, all protein diets that are known to take off weight quickly, but as soon as they eat a piece of bread they gain it all back plus some.
The good news is those hunger pangs will subside, and at that time you will be on your way to a healthier, happier you.
This a lifestyle change, meaning the key to long term success is eat less, move more. Two slices of bread turns into one, a piece of cake turns into a sliver and so on.
A great free app that is so helpful in determining what and how many calories you're consuming is myfitnesspal that you can sync with a Fitbit or jawbone up.i really can't say enough about these two items. They're easy and very helpful.
Good luck to you and welcome.
