In my experience measuring the number of calories you consume each day works well.
I could never judge exactly how much I was eating and so overate frequently. When I started counting the calories I was eating each day I was able to finally put some control in. Not easy, but well worth it.
In this video shows Dr. Evan Matthews explains a basic example of how to plan weight loss.
He goes over:
How to determine the length of time needed to lose a given amount of fat mass
How many calories must be cut to lose the weight per day and per week
How to combine dietary calorie cutting and increased exercise and physical activity to achieve weight loss
It’s very informative and worth watching.
