im on a 1500 calories a day diet, with my consumption being 2200 to 2500 calories a day depending on if i go for a run etc. this creates a 700 to 1000 calorie a day deficit, which adds up to 1.5 - 2 pounds of fat loss a week (1 pound of fat is 3500 calories)
its definitely much easier than i thought, i dont have any cravings nearly big enough that would stop me from dieting, and im completely fine with being a tiny bit hungry all of the time (diet nightmares must be from people with no self control)
so far in 2 weeks ive lost 6 and a half pounds, 4 on the first week, and 2 and a half on the second week. the first weeks weight is higher because it has a lot of lost water weight in it on top of lost fat, the second week is mostly just fat. my bmi is 25.2 and the edge of normal weight and slightly overweight is 25, it wont hurt to lose some pounds and get in good shape
biggest minus is the hole that stopping snacking all day left, there is nothing to do when sitting at home, and i definitely would fall into the trap of eating if i didnt consciously stop myself

1500 calories might sound like a lot, but it really doesnt leave any room for snacking or large portions, if you have a generally unhealthy diet, trying to diet just by "eating healthier and less" is NOT going to work
i count every single calorie that i eat, (except on saturdays when i can eat more, but still not huge amounts), and i have to carefully count if i can eat 3 slices of bread instead of 2, all kind of snacking is out of the question (much rather would eat a good portion size instead of snacks that dont fill)
the best tip is to drink a TON of water (especially before a meal, to not overeat)
