Hello, Thatter, and welcome 😊

My tip would be to steer clear of diets and find a way of eating you'll be able to stick to and enjoy for life. Go for real food, cooked at home, plenty of veg, eggs, dairy, fish and meat (if you aren't vegetarian) and avoid processed foods which includes anything labelled low fat or light or diet. Don't be afraid of using healthy fats e.g. cooking with butter and olive oil.

My other tip would be to read these before you decide on your plan

Hi, Thatter welcome.

Weight loss is not all about motivation and masochism - if you "slim smart" it is not so hard!

Many of us here find that what works is a combination of The Low Carbohydrate, High-Fat (LCHF) diet (see the forum here on Health Unlocked) and Not Snacking All Day AKA Intermittent Fasting (IF). See:
