It's not like you can eat 2,800 calories forever and keep losing weight, but you've got to take it one step at a time. If you're used to eating 3,500 calories a day, cutting back to 1,750 right away isn't going to be easy. Backing down to 2,800 isn't really a huge sacrifice that requires strict discipline. 2,800 calories is still a lot.

Cutting from 4000 calories a day to 1200 was a 2 week deal for me, and what I did was eat a **** ton of veg to compensate for the lack of volume, slowly decreasing even that. It is incredibly easy if you decide to do what's necessary, and are resolved to get it done. I'm not trying to stand on a soap box, I've ****ed it all off, I'm just saying, been there, done that, and it really wasn't that bad when I was determined to change.
