What should I eat to lose weight?
Mostly whole foods: lean proteins, vegetables, fruit, legumes and whole grains — in portions that create a gentle deficit.
Are carbs bad for weight loss?
No. Total calories decide fat loss; whole-food carbs aid training, fullness and adherence.
How much protein while losing weight?
Around 1.6–2.2g per kg of body weight daily protects muscle and controls hunger.
Do I need to count calories?
Not necessarily — plate templates, regular meals and weekly weigh-ins work for many. Tracking helps when progress stalls.
