Are you just trying to get lean right now?
You know what you shouldnt eat, so dont.
Limit your carbohydrate intake to 30g of carbs per day. I like to put the whole thing after I workout.
Everytime you are hungry, truly hungry, eat around 50g of protein from meat. Dealers choice. Fill up on vegetables.
If you are not really that hungry but have cravings, try munching on a dill pickle or two.
If you are eating pretty lean meats then have like 10 or 12 raw almonds with your meals.
Do low intensity cardio everyday or as often as you can for 20 to 30 min if you are a real fatty.
Train with weights at least 4 days per week at a moderate intensity but fast pace. No lolly gagging between sets. Get some big breaths in, recover your breathing and go again. 3 to 5 sets for little muscles and 5 to 10 for big ones like back and quads. Aim for 10 to 12 reps. If you can do 15 up the weight. If you cant get at least 8 then lower it.
This is a quick synopsis but it will work to at least get your abs showing.
