The biggest piece of advice..

The biggest piece of advice that I can give is to just choose healthier options. You don't have to eat perfect just be aware of what you are putting in your body, It will take a few weeks to get use to eating this way but once you start seeing results it will be worth it! I use MyFitnessPal to track all my food to see where I'm at for calories and carbs. Its annoying sometimes but if you are eating too many or too few calories you wont lose weight.

Here are some tips:

Eat as many veggies as you want
High protein, low carbs
Limit fruit(high in carbs)
Have a protein snack 1hr before bed
Drink as much water as you can
Prepare food before hand( cut up veggies, cook meat, prepare rice, etc..)
80% diet, 20% working out
I buy a whole chicken, cook it and eat that for lunch for the whole week(cooked and ready to go)
Eat every 2-3 hrs
Limit snacking
Measure food
Eat as clean as you can
Learn to say no!
