I've lost around 6kg (around 11 lb?

) over the past three month with changing my eating habits nearly completely. I only eat meat once a week, fish once or sometimes twice. I cut meat completely from my breakfast routine and focus on yoghurt with cereals and fruits. For lunch I usually eat what I'm up to and warm, but focussing on proteinrich stuff like beans, fish and so on, because splitting up the huge proteins also requires energy which your body takes from the fat reserves

In the evening I try to eat without eating too much carbons, working with cheese and eggs e.g.
This change has been accompanied with sports minimum twice a week and much fluid (water, tee). When I'm in the mood for sweets I usually drink water with a bit of juice or make yoghurt with fruitsauce. When I was sad or moody in the past I fell into sweets way too easy... But now I'm able to walk through the sweets sections in the market without the urge to buy stuff
And yes, of course I do cheat from time to time, because when you deserve something sweet it's not always ok to say no (Chocolate

).
But usually I try to be strict to these changes. And it really helped, because the whole body feeling becomes better. When I have to choose what made the difference? Definitely the reduction of meat and sweets (not to 0%!) accompanied by more drinking water and tea. I had a moment last week when I ate a bar of chocolate. I usually tend to devour one... two... three... four... in the need of more until I'm satisfied... after this one bar I was happy and it was so delicious

Could have eaten another one, but I was fine with it.
Maybe some of my experiences help, not forcing anything over you! I'm a biology teacher (not a nutritionist!) and I try to balance the nutritions and at this moment I'm pretty happy with the results, not pushing heavy weight loss on the cost of my health.
