3) make a "cheat sheet" and keep it in the kitchen of the common vegetables you eat. Here's the one I did for myself using net carbs...



4) Pick and Stick to a plan for an extended period of time, like a year.

My highest recorded weight was 370lbs at a doctors office. By stictly sticking to a plan for 2 years my body found it's way back to normal. Now I can do stuff that I, and any other 54 year old should be able to... like learning to ride little skateboard ramps and stuff - What ever you liked to do before your body got so large and unwieldy like mine did.

I wish you well!
