Diet change: Everything we eat that comes from animals contains more calories. In the usa we focus on the main course. Usually this is chicken. Fish, steak etc. You can eat these foods but not in the quantities we are used to. Substitute vegetables, salads , fruits for "animal foods"(meat, cheese, yogurt, milk, ice cream). Many of my patients have taken this advice and have reached their goals.
