That's pretty good, Aero. In reality, I've also been trying to lose a bit of weight, and I've modified my diet and exercise habits as such and so far, it's been working, if slowly (which I expected and is better/more natural). Since about March or April, I've probably lost about 7 pounds. In reality, I've probably lost more but it's been offset by muscle growth, as my exercise of choice is strength training with biking. If you can, I might advise finding a way to do strength training (I do body weight stuff, no gym membership required!) as it helps build muscle, which is your body's furnace and helps lose fat.
For food stuff, though...that's pretty strict. I don't know if you need to be THAT strict with unhealthy kind of stuff unless you're aiming for a supermodel body. I still enjoy sweet stuff daily and a beer now and then and I've still lost a fair bit of weight. Granted, I tend to satisfy my sweet tooth with honey, which has some good health benefits. It's somewhat lost by the heavy processing that most available commercial honey goes through, but it's still there if you can still get real stuff that came from bees. But if you look around, you can find less processed honey and 'raw' honey, but I take 'raw' honey with a grain of salt, as it's really only 'raw' when it's still in the comb (which you can find if you look around!) Plus, honey is technically just the syrup in the comb. But anyway...I also eat a lot of veggies and whole grains. With grain food, where you can, DEFINITELY get whole grain if you aren't already. That combined with veggies provides a lot of fiber, which helps curb appetite. So if you replace snacks with a veggie or a chunk of whole grain bread over cookies and crackers (which you can also find whole grain), that might help.
But a lot of what you do I do. I drink a TON of water and I eat between big meals, which really helps weight loss. Keeps your metabolism running and actually helps you eat less overall. I presume you eat breakfast, as not doing that is one of the worst things you can do if you want to lose weight. Also helps to cut down meat intake, and maybe have low-fat milk instead of whole milk.
So that's my
