Besides, I did it while being away from daily routine - otherwise it'd be very difficult to keep pace.

Get rid of empty calories and increase vegetables, whole fruit (not juice) and lean meat.  A meat portion is the size of a deck of cards, and 1-2 servings a day is fine.  Eat starches of good quality such as potato, sweet potato, starchy vegetables, legumes instead of cookies, cake, soda, juice, candy.  Limit bread.

OR you can drop 250 calories from your diet and increase .....
