It takes a little getting used to but it totally worked for me. A tablespoon of oil first thing in the morning and I wasn't hungry until the afternoon.
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 someone who is 5'10" and 150lb to get down to 140 or 130lb. (Basically cutting fat - yes, I have significant fat even at 150lb and 5'10") I've done it a few times. I would recommend it. Changing your diet permanently is a much more permanent solution but also requires a lifestyle/mental change. I've had too many other lifestyle changes going on that made it hard for me to commit to such a thing.
Nice part about it is that it really frees up a lot of your day too. You don't have to worry about eating another meal or two. You just have the one per day and it's a done deal. Kinda freeing in that sense. Just make sure your meal isn't 2000+ calories - otherwise, it'll defeat some of the point. Which I know for some people can be easy to push down because their stomach has grown in size and is able to hold that much weight. It'll take willpower at first but then once your stomach starts to decrease in size - you'll automatically be limited on your caloric intake from that one meal.
The Ramequin trick. The one thing that worked best for me: only eat out of a small container. A small ramequin bowl works best. That alone will make you eat less, and you won't really notice it. In fact, you'll feel like you ate more. Eating exactly the same food, but in a small container. Went from 90kg to 75 in less than a year. Now I'm back on regular plates, but I make sure I pour the amount that fits in that ram…
