1. Breakfast
All meals are important, but for kick-starting weight loss you should regard breakfast as the most important for now. Getting off on the right track in terms of fibre and essential nutrition will help to stop you from snacking during the day. Eggs are good for breakfast on a diet.
2. Whole Foods
Make sure that you start prioritising real, whole foods over packaged and processed stuff. I know it’s easier to thrown something in the microwave, but those meals have little to no nutritional value.

psome rewards to treat yourself when you hit milestones.
