- Cut back on soda/sugary drinks
- 10 minutes of exercise a day, even if just walking
- Get into a good sleep routine
Once you're at the weight you're happy with you'll need to keep it off. This is when you really need to think about your lifestyle choices. Ideally you'll stick with the above 3 tips even after you hit your target weight.
When I was hungry I was taking an apple instead of eating biscuits.
After I've gotten better control over my emotional situation, then comes the HOW of eating less. My answer, which got me to lose 24 pounds in 6 months and keep my weight for years later is -- eat only when hungry. stop eating immediately if you're no longer hungry. At first this seems trivial, but it's not. You will need to notice your feelings of hunger and become more sensitive to when you are hungry, when you are full. And to only eat when hungry. This method is super effective, you need nothing more. You can eat any food you want as long as you do so only when feeling hungry.
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…
Easy hack that gives more energy & has health benefits is: Strength training for muscle growth. Muscles burn tons of energy, having more muscle mass will boost your daily resting kcal.
When starting out it's easy to gain quite a bit of muscle first months.
Ofc cut out the shit, mainly sweets & fried stuff.

> Just eat less man. It's pretty straight forward. Just eat one meal a day (lunch) and you'll see the weight fly off. You're suggesting a diet that requires a discipline that, empirically, is obviously beyond the reach of most people. Here's much, much simpler advice, that is also more enjoyable to do: Just eat better. Or just somewhat better, and do some exercise. You'd be surprised how easy it is to purchase or coo…
Weight lifting w/ hypertrophy is one of the most effective forms of exercise for weight (fat) loss.
In addition to causing a longer rise in post exercise caloric burn, it also changes body composition such that your calorie requirements/quota increases over time.
Cardio is not a particularly great option for fat losses for a number of reasons. Spend an hour on the treadmill and look at the caloric burn estimates for a glaring reason why.
The best exercise for weight loss though is the one you enjoy and will do. Nothing burns fat for me better than full court basketball a few times a week.

I've had the exact opposite experience. Days I felt like I did well on and had, if counted, a lot less calories were upticks, and days where I indulged were downticks. Sometimes very large ones too. Particularly very fatty meals would see me drop weight. 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 dopam…
I had some of that too though, that's kinda the idea. I found carby foods were most consistently weight adding, while meaty and fatty not so much. I recall all you can eat bbqs actually resulting in weight loss the following day. But if I had a bowl of rice with them, I'd have the weight gain I feared. Moderate portions of Indian takeaway curries with Naan could keep my weight up for a few days. That's not something…
- Get addicted to video games and caffeine pills. If you get really into it, you can forget about food for hours. Your life will suck but perhaps it's worth it in the short term. Must not keep snacks in your gaming room, but you can keep your pills and your water bottles

IF works really well for me. I've struggled for years with losing weight. I'm an extremely very picky eater with a sugar addiction and doesn't like to cook. I've had weeks where I would almost entirely survive on sweets: several king size candy bars, ice cream, soda. Hardly much else. I run a lot, even ran a marathon. No amount of exercise did anything. Dieting is impossible for me. I'd rather run an ultra. IF change…
