The sugary drinks is what did it for me too! First thing I cut out. Havent had anything but teas coffee amd inhumane amounts of water over the last 8 years. Maybe an average of like 3-4 sugary drinks a year at most.
Intermittent fasting was also my second most important method.
I also used to ask myself do you meed to eat or are you bored/ thirsty. Drink water and check back. If still feel hunger I’m eating.
Homecooked meals only. 0 fast food and very little going out for food anyways. Plus understamding nutrition.
