Know what you eat: Study your food, read about calorie content and protein/carb/fat content. Over time you will know your likes and will learn about balance in what you are used to. You are much more likely to be successful at eating what you choose, informed therein.

Here u go: Eat more salt. Not high protein: eating excess protein will turn it into sugar and stall fat loss. Eat more fat (no trans fat). Eat 2 meals a day not many small meals. Eat real food . Do not try to make franken-food (low carb pancakes muffins etc.. Are a no no) stay away form artificial sweeteners: they will make u crave sugar.

Low carb: There is probably too much emphasis on ;low carb; the emphasis should likely be on low processed sugar food product. Carbohydates as a generic term are not necessarily bad. If you eat natural foods rather than processed foods you are likely better off.

Depends: It is very healthy to limit simple or processed carbs in your diet. However the complex carbs found in certain vegetables like kale and spinach (not the starchy ones like potatoes), and in beans are a healthy source of fiber for your diet and should be consumed regularly.
