Don't drink soda - It's just pure sugar water(fructose/glucose) fructose can only be metabolize by the liver and its stored as fat when too much is ingested. It raises your insulin so high you become insulin resistant overtime
Don't eat processed foods - Anything that comes prepackaged with more than a bajillion ingredients
Stay away from vegetable oils - Corn,Cotton,Safflower, Canola oils are all rancid by the time they hit the shelves.
Eat your fats - Saturated fats are healthy for you, aka butter,lard,tallow. The 7 country study got you duped into eating plastic butter/fake fats which is inflammatory n disrupts hormones. Healthy fats train your mitochondria to burn fat instead of glucose.
Calories aren't made the same - Stop counting calories. Hormones is all that matters. imbalanced insulin, ghrelin and leptin cause weight gain.
hope this helps. you can pm me for more info if you need it.

hormones do matter but at the end of the day you cant break the laws of thermodynamics. Protein is the hardest to break down and has 4 calories per gram, carbohydrates are next most difficult at still 4 calories per gram, and fats have 9 calories per gram and are most easily converted to lipids. There is something to say about trying to store too many carbs as well because after I believe its 500 grams? (2,000 calories) you cant really hold much more glycogen and it starts to be stored as adipose tissue (fat). you also cant just eat nothing but protein because it will destroy your liver and most studies have concluded there isnt much point to eating more than .7 to .8 grams per pound of bodyweight unless its for the sake of satiety. You also cant just cut out fat because then it will fuck with your hormones, your test will drop to shit and your dick will stop working.
For the vast majority of people they just need to move more and eat a little less. Too many people slash their calories too far right off the bat because theyre impatient and kill their metabolism because it does adjust out of your bodies desire to not, you know, die. They also do things like cut out all carbs, which means you arent storing glycogen as you expend it, and lose a lot of water weight (every gram of glycogen holds 3 grams of water) and insist theyre losing fat. They may be losing some, but rapid weight loss is more often than not water weight.
