Hello Mark! you need more - clean water, veggies, fruits, porridges, chicken/turkey, fish, seafood (everything should be boiled, grilled, baked). Less - sugar, soda drinks, fastfood, potatoes, white rice, no fried food!
I think portion control really helps weight loss .since calorie counting gives you a number each day and you stick to that,that helps you control your portions easily.x. To much of healthy foods can cause weight gain.x
No carbs. Cut veggies, fruits, bread, anything carb. Eat like a caveman. They didn't have bread back than, or regularly available fruits and vegetables. They ate meat and fat. That's how you lose weight. High fat and protein diets. That feature low carbs and calories. Research a keto diet.
