Simplify your diet as much as you can.

People make dieting too complicated. A common pattern between many successful diets is that they eliminate large categories of food.

• Throw out all foods that are not helping you.
• Only visit 10-20% of the grocery store
  • Vegetables
  • Fresh meat
  • Herbs
  • Some snacks: fruit, nuts
  • Frozen vegetables

I follow the Paleo diet: eat roughly like our pre-agricultural ancestors.

• No processed food
• Large amount of vegetables
• High-quality meat
• No gluten, limited grains (no pasta, bread, pizza)
• Low carbohydrate intake in general
  • When working to gain muscle, I do increase carbohydrates: potatoes, carrots, lentils, some rice

That's all that really matters.

Don't count calories. Eat the right things and after a while, your body will self-regulate properly.
