Have some diluted vinegar after meals. It's the world's original "miracle tonic", with anecdotes dating back to antiquity, and mostly acts to facilitate digestion, which can smooth out indignities within your actual diet and therefore leave you feeling better rested and fed with lower intake. You don't need to take vinegar at full strength to see benefit, so I often have it with bubbly water. (If you actually search…
Anyone saying just eat less is full of shit. Sorry man. I went from 18st to 12st (and back up to 15st). I found a few key things. 1. Decide you want to loose weight. 2. Up your plain flat water intake... Like a ton. Your body will get used to it after a day or two and you'll start feeling naturally thirsty. You notice all these skinny fit people are always drinking? That's plain water they are drinking. Seriously if…
Weird tips like that? No, no definitely not. Just eat less man. It's pretty straight forward. Just eat one meal a day (lunch) and you'll see the weight fly off. It's what I did for a bit and lost the weight quickly. You'll lose 5lbs/month easily even for people who have a relatively lean body mass already. (Easier to lose a lot of weight when you're heavier because your BMR is high to begin with) I've done it as some…
The real takeaway about mass loss via carbon dioxide is that you're changing how the engine works, and you're unlikely to notice it. Get a digital scale, weigh every morning after toilet. I find there is a very quick and variable response to the previous days food, which can be quite motivating. Seeing it up or down half a kilo each day is very noticeable, and informative about what works and what doesn't. Eat less d…
Ultimately the treatment for what probably got me to gain so much weight helped me twice over: ADHD medication. Not only does not lessen your constant need for dopamine (and lots of bad foods are good dopamine bumps), but it also supresses your appetite. I of course wouldn't recommend it if you do not have ADHD, but the additional side effect is appreciated none the less.
Just eat less. Much less. And don't drink alcohol, juice, milk, ice tea, or soft drinks. Drink water. My suggestion: Skip breakfast. Take a cup of black coffee. A lunch consisting of a salat made of half a cucumber and a medium sizes tomato and either 1) a can of tuna (in brine, not oil) or 2) smoked salmon (100 gram), will make you quite full without adding more than 200 calories. Afternoon snack: Lots of chewing gu…
Eat the same, eat whatever you crave. Eat junk if you insist but give an occasional serving of fruits and/or vegetables a chance. Don't ever read the ingredients unless you're deathly allergic to something. Alcohol is poison, but as long as you recognize that, proceed however the hell you want. Get a chair that makes you uncomfortable. Sit up straight, move around, take a walk around the block, try moving to music (d…

Earlier quoted context omitted.
any unhealthy side effects of only eating one meal a day? what if that meal is 1800+ calories?
It's called OMAD (one meal a day), you can google it. In my experience, it's something you quickly get used to and has no negative effects (for me). You adjust and don't get hungry until the time comes (e.g. dinner). It's a form of intermittent fasting.

If one is not morbidly obese, it is much easier to reduce the number of calories by a small amount and adjust to this lifestyle. Short diets with a strong calorie deficit require careful planning to be effective (exact nr of calories, protein, diet breaks etc).
If you assume an average person who is 10kg overweight due to slacking over the last 5-10 years, then we are talking about a daily surplus of 20 calories per day. Cutting your daily intake for around 220 calories will allow one to go back to the initial weight over the course of a year without dramatic lifestyle changes.
To cut these 220calories out, all of your advices apply, I would just not combine all of them in rapid manner. Most humans are not bodybuilders and will not have the willpower to sustain such a diet with appropriate planning.
