There is no reason to starve yourself in order to lose weight!
You just have to be smart about it.
Relax.
Enjoy the journey.
Be ready to adapt and learn a thing of two along the way.
If you're willing to play the game of LIFE then why not make it a game of
HEALTHY LIFE!
Of course there are rules; otherwise, it wouldn't be a game!
Start with Rule #1:
Choose foods that are more filling.
In correct portion sizes these foods fill you up.... not out!

fiber, water, protein & air.
