Look into "intermittent fasting". (Lots of youtube videos as well as websites where it's explained.) Hubby and I started doing it 2 years ago. Both of us lost substantial weight. Both had to buy new clothes because our old ones were hanging off of us. And the best part is that our blood lab numbers are fantastic since doing intermittent fasting. Our doctors were surprised when we told them how we'd done it. Intermittent fasting is more about "when" you eat rather than "what" or "how much" you eat. It's been an amazing eye-opener for us.
Also, we do a sort of modified Keto/Paleo/Primal eating regimen:
1. We cut down on eating carbs (bread, pizza, etc., but we still eat them occasionally)
2. Cut out sugar as much as possible (switched to things like erythritol)
3. Reduced our consumption of grains, especially wheat, corn, oats and rice
4. Totally stopped using vegetable oils (switched to olive oil, avocado oil and coconut oil)
5. Increased our protein consumption (nothing unreasonable, but making sure we got enough daily/weekly)
We're trimmer and healthier than we've ever been. Good luck!
