I'm down close to 8 kilos now the past 5 weeks by controlling my portions - I don't watch my carbs/calories etc... at all.

For my weight, I am allowed to eat the following portions to lose weight:

5x starch
3.5 x protein
4x fruit
4x vegetable
3x dairy
2x fat

So I try to eat exactly that everyday, and try to spread it over at least 4 or if I can 5 meals.

The portion sizes are whats important. For example 1 protein could be a can of tuna or it could be 120g of chicken or one veggie burger pattie etc...

Drinking was my biggest thing, but I've fit that in. 1 light beer = 1 starch, 1 glass of wine = 1 fruit, 1 shot of alcohol (vodka, whiskey, tequila, etc...) = 1 starch. Thus I'm never drinking reg beer again only light, so I can have double the amount. I'm also only drinking vodka straight now or shots, no mixer whatsoever.

Drink lots of water too it's very important.
