When dieting, keeping a record of your meals might be more important than your weight.

If I don't lose weight easily, I want to start by reducing my food intake even more.

However, when I accurately recorded what and how much I ate during the day, I realized I was missing more than I thought.

Even foods that you might consider light, like snacks or drinks, can make a difference if they accumulate.

I think checking your eating patterns first is a realistic approach rather than just starving yourself.
