Veggies are great too. I remember when I first started using a calorie counting app, I was blown away at how quickly the weight came off of me, even though I was getting fairly minimal exercise. I went the entirety of my teenage years being fat as hell, basing my idea of weight-loss on having observed my brother years before, running laps around the property, eating salads and other foods I disliked, and sitting in the laundry room with sweats on as though it were a sauna. This deterred me from ever really trying, and unfortunately he was usually the one giving me weight-loss advice.
Didn’t find out until my twenties that I could still have the foods I liked, as long as I closely controlled the portion size and/or earned a larger deficit by walking throughout the day. I’m still a rollercoaster of self-control, but I at least remain on the lighter side these days.
It’s not that hard to lose weight. You don’t have to eat only lettuce. You just have to eat less.
Not even that, just gotta eat the right things! I can eat a ton of veggies and fill myself up.
