I want to lose weight but need some starter suggestion.

Not knowing your current dietary practice, I would start with reducing your intake of PUFA. Also start slowly introducing fruits to your diet such as oranges and tropical fruits. Go for walks and swimming.

I like Cari’s very low starch approach. You get your Peaty carbs from fruit. Watch the fat. Protein I tend to find self-regulating (meaning it is harder to binge protein as it is just less delicious to me).

I have been doing this for two months to drop the weight I gained when sick, traveling, and merrymaking in December. I have not had to go hungry, and that gain is gone.

The Strong Sistas on Youtube had some recent videos on the diet and exercise program they both went on pre-wedding of one of the sisters. Each lost about 20 pounds in a few months. The program is geared to Peaty people. In short, we tend to eat a lot of calories and remain at a fairly stable weight because we have revved our metabolisms. But we also may have put on pounds improving our metabolisms, and those pounds often stick. The nutritionist had them cut calories, lose weight, then add the calories back in a controlled way–so they would not get stuck at a low daily-calorie level to maintain.
