Hi and welcome, 16392 :)

Try not to think of it as a diet, but as part of a healthy lifestyle, where weight loss is the happy side-effect.

Just a couple of pointers, don't be guided by the generic calorie allowances of 1400/1900, put your details into the NHS BMI calculator, to get a range that's more suitable for you and aim for the higher end.

Also, avoid fat-free/low fat/light products, as they're highly processed and you need fat for satiety and vitamin absorption. Have a look at this, for further explanation phcuk.org/wp-content/upload...
