Hi Kari! So your goal is fat loss then. First off post your stats.

There are a number of ways to shed the pounds depending where you are starting from.

Here are some diet suggestions.....

Carb cycling.....an example carb cycle would be 2 days of 25-75 grams of carbs per day and then the third day 200-500 grams of carbs. There are many ways to cycle.

Ketogenic diet....only fats and proteins and fibrous veggies. If you do choose to do this the first week or two you will feel awful as your body has to actually get into ketosis.

Low carb....about 100-200 grams carbs only each day. I prefer the cycling but some just keep it low carb all the time.

Remember that lowering the cals too much will cause you to hold on to fat. The body is like a car....it needs fuel to run. If you drop the cals too much your body will fight for cals and hold onto the fat. Sometimes upping the cals are a better idea. The more energy you have the more you can burn.

Also good to nibble on veggies throughout the day. Alot of people suggest eating 5 or 6 meals but I prefer a basic three with nibbling on veggies all day. This is thermogenesis....your metabolism is working at all times to burn the food you eat which is why keeping food in your stomach is great. It's very easy to pack a baggie of veggies everywhere and nibble them everywhere. Healthy and low cal.
