I cut down my carbohydrates a lot, I only eat 200g MAX every day. But those 200grams are only slow digesting carbs e.g Wholewheat bread, oatmeal, etc.
Like bodybuilders have protein shakes, I've realised that it's not for building muscle, it actually adds nutritional value to my daily diet. So my meals mainly consist of protein and green vegetables, also lots of nuts and fruit only in the mornings.
I eat every 3-4 hours, in small quantities which give a great metabolism boost (so does black coffee). To keep my sanity, I have a cheat day once in 2 weeks when I can pig out on whatever I want.
Recently my weightloss has slowed down but now I've been introducing a lot more activity into my daily life, doing at least half-hour of exercise every other day.
34lbs seems like a lot but the heavier you are, the easier it is for you to loose weight, and I've got about 80lbs more untill I become a healthy size. I can't believe how easy it has been to change my lifestyle, healthy eating and exercise will always be a part of my life now, I can't wait untill i become slim and have a beautiful body.
I know it ill take a long time to reach my goals, but I want to loose the fat slowly so I won't need plastic surgery for excess skin removal. I've been aiming at loosing 1 or 2 lbs every week. In 6 months, my skin is glowing beautifully, and my hair is thicker and longer than ever.
I hope that gives you insight
