Water is 27x more thermally conductive than air, so standing in water burns 27x more calories than air of the same temperature. So, go cold water swimming! (Plenty of normal healthy ways to lose weight but that's the weirdest hack I can think of)
This should inform you of one thing: anaerobic respiration is inefficient and therefore great for burning more calories. An easy way to achieve such respiration is running or cycling (which I think is better on your knees) so fast that you start panting. Keep doing that for an hour and do it every other day.
This advice is IMO better than "eat less", because changing your dietary habits is very very hard. Moving more is much easier by comparison, though sadly it still won't be fun for you in the beginning.
* Drink at least 2L of water a day
* Walk for 30 mins a day.
Having lost ~75 pounds and having (mostly) kept it off, the "trick" is to stop eating certain foods, sleeping well and exercising. Start by avoiding any sugars whatsoever (exception: fresh fruit), bread, fried food. This will be difficult for a few days to a week, but afterwards it gets easier and easier. You will end up consuming less food. Do this diligently, as even one chocolate might set you back by increasing d…
What's your go-to replacement for bread? I'm a bit fan of bread (brown / whole meal bread), it's a filling, slow release and (not unimportant!) cheap source of carbs, which you need for regular functioning. Going "no carb" is extremist and can be dangerous long term. Balance out the macronutrients first, then start adjusting a little in favor of protein.

Eating only once a day is very bad advice. If you make a regular meal, one meal a day nets a negative of 1300/1500 calories per day, which will cause considerable muscle tissue loss (note how the parent writes "losing weight", not "losing fat", but also "yes, I have significant fat even at 150lb and 5'10"), besides having no energy. If you make instead a massive mels, you're going to give a massive glucose shot to yo…
Anyone who has actually fasted knows this is all nonsense. Sure, you can lose muscle mass — that's always true of going into a caloric deficit, which is the only way to lose weight.
It is true that caloric deficit always causes muscle; the issue is how much one loses.

any unhealthy side effects of only eating one meal a day? what if that meal is 1800+ calories?

This meta-review seems to conclude fasting + resistance training might not only be harmless but actually beneficial https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7468742/
