May we humbly suggest that you have a look at
this site. It's also available as an app for you phone or other device. We have been using it for about two and a half years and, between us, we have lost more than 130 pounds.

It's simply an easy way to keep track of the calories you consume and the calories you expend when exercising. At first, it's kind of a pain in the posterior but within a few weeks you will become extremely conscious of how many calories are in everything and you will instinctively reduce your calorie consumption.

There are absolutely no restriction on what you eat but you have to atone for your sins somewhere else. You do need a kitchen scale to weigh your food and you will shortly be able to estimate the size of portions you get in restaurants or elsewhere with no difficulty.

And, by the way, we are both getting about 50 percent of our calories from carbs.
