I failed to lose weight for years via "eat less".

Eventually, I tried a diet from CSIRO which set minimum quantities of certain foods; 2.5 cups cooked green vegetables and 150g lean high-protein food (chicken, eggs, kangaroo, tofu).

It was genuinely difficult to force myself to consume those quantities every day, but I found it easier to follow "you must" than "you must not".
