I think people sometimes make dieting way more complicated than it needs to be, especially when they're first starting out. You don't need to wake up tomorrow and suddenly track every calorie, weigh every piece of food, hit perfect macros, drink a gallon of water, and train six days a week. For some people, trying to change everything at once can become overwhelming pretty quickly. Start small, build good habits, and then tighten things up as you go.
