Diet & weight loss

Awesome — happy to help with that! Could you tell me a little more about what you're aiming for?

Are you looking to lose a specific amount of weight, or just feel healthier overall?
Do you have any dietary restrictions or preferences (like vegan, keto, low-carb, high-protein, etc.)?
How active are you right now, and are you open to adjusting that too?

Once I know a bit more, I can help you sketch out a plan — or give you tips, recipes, workout ideas, whatever you need.

Perfect — let’s dive a little deeper then. Here’s a breakdown of what a comprehensive diet & weight loss approach usually covers, and you can tell me which parts you'd like to focus on or where you need help:

🔥 Weight Loss Basics

To lose weight, you generally need to be in a calorie deficit — meaning you burn more calories than you consume. That can be done by:

Eating fewer calories
Increasing physical activity
Or ideally, a mix of both

1 pound of fat = roughly 3,500 calories, so a daily 500-calorie deficit could mean about 1 pound lost per week.

🍽️ Diet Types You Could Consider

Different approaches work for different people — here are a few popular ones:

Calorie counting (like using MyFitnessPal or LoseIt)
Low-carb / keto (focus on fats & proteins, cut carbs)
High-protein, moderate-carb
Intermittent fasting (e.g. 16:8, 14:10 windows)
Mediterranean diet (lots of veggies, olive oil, lean proteins)
Plant-based or vegetarian

Would you like me to help you pick one based on your preferences and lifestyle?

🥗 Healthy Eating Principles

Regardless of the diet type:

Focus on whole foods: lean meats, fish, eggs, veggies, fruits, nuts, and whole grains
Avoid or limit processed foods, sugary drinks, and excessive refined carbs
Drink plenty of water
Limit alcohol (empty calories)
