This works for me:

1) Eat real food, including plenty of animal-based products and natural oils (like ghee and olive oil).

2) Avoid sugar, corn syrup, and most other natural and artificial sweeteners.

3) Avoid processed foods, especially processed carbs and seed/vegetable oils.

4) Stop snacking and investigate intermittent fasting.

5) Get plenty of fresh air and sunshine, while avoiding sunburn.

6) Exercise moderately.

7) Sleep long enough each night.

8) Find non-drug and non-alcohol stress coping mechanisms that work for you.

9) Pray.

10) Communicate with friends

Never can leave out the emotional and spiritual. We are SOULS first, and these meat bags are just on loan for awhile. WE are that which animates the vehicles. Knowing this is how we feel enduring PEACE. And with this foundation, we make better choices.

Alternatively, but check with Peter Hotez, 1 POUND OF FRENCH FRIES + 10 OUNCES ROAST BUGS + 1 x SUSTANON 250 (testosterone isocaproate) cycle + 1 x DECA-DURABOLIN (nandrolone decanoate (19-nortestosterone)) cycle, for muscle gain, + 1× DILATEROL (clenbuterol) cycle, for fat loss + 1 x QUART of TATTOO INK + 2 x COMIRNATY (Pfizer jab) + 1 x SPIKEVAX (Moderna booster). I suspect it's what worked for this 28 year old guy (see photo in the article at the link) from Portland, Oregon.

I did weight watchers a long time ago. I think they are great. When I went there I didn't have to buy any products from them. They taught me good nutrition and portion sizes.

I bought my food and prepared it.

weight watchers had us keep track of everything we ate and drank to keep track of input and see what resulted.

We talked to other dieters and encouraged each other or offered advice.

Dr. Jack Kruse has some interesting ideas on quality and timing of light exposure and its major effect on metabolism and overall health due to many different body processes that require the light as nutrition, which he cites as more important than food. He's worth looking into, IMO, because everything he advocates is what our bodies would've received in nature before we "civilized" ourselves. As he puts it, he doesn't need to give his lectures to wild animals, because they're healthy because they don't hide from the sun with clothes and sunglasses.

In a nutshell, sunlight is everything, and even eating out of season fruit for example that grew under sunshine in another part of the world creates an energy mismatch with your metabolism that can never be rectiifed other than by eating local, in-season foods. Sunlight is much more than just vitamin D; the infra-red is just as important. I'm just scratching the surface, there's much, much more.

I don’t eat between 8pm and midday the next day.

Don’t go near soft drinks or white flour.

Modern thought rates white higher than whole wheat because the bran has lectins which are harmful to the gut and cause brain fog. I had a very hard time accepting this, but after reducing my lectin intake for a month, I definitely have more energy. Common grains like wheat and rice in general should be minimized and replaced with healthier options like millet. Unfortunately the highly touted healthfood, quinoa, is high in lectins, but pressure cooking can greatly reduce that.

White flour? What's your problem with white flour?

Turns to sugar spikes insulin and will promote fatty liver

Agreed! Chronic calorie restriction is BAD.

Intermittent fasting is good though. Just not CHRONIC fasting. That will hurt you.

The ONLY long-term solution to obesity is to fix the metabolism by correcting mitochondrial dysfunction, i.e., by nourishing the body PROPERLY (and heavily) and removing major toxins, whether naturally occurring, (many plants) or chemical. Also, sugar must GO if one wishes to be healthy.

My health problems disappeared when I went carnivore. AND I lost the extra weight without ever once feeling hungry or having any intense cravings. Also fixed anxiety! Gave me PEACE I had never known before. Still sorting the science behind it all, as I am not strict carnivore at all.

I always wanted to try Jenny Craig, Nutri system but I always thought, gee, I am restrict6ing calories, carbs etc, what happens when I stop and go back to real food? I tried Weight Watchers and that kept weight off for 10 years and It can work but it is a life style change, forever. Now, I started exercising and cutting back on amount of carbs and junk and I can live with this diet. It is sensible.

Everything in MODERATION!!

imo the real reason for obesity (besides emotional eating) is when you eat junk, you get zero nutrition, so your body tells you it's hungry all the time, so you keep eating, but Pringles and Oreos are not the answer, and they contain chemicals which trigger dopamines, and make you want to keep eating. If you eat real food, you won't have a weight problem. All these diets are the same rip offs and never address the real problems.

I went on a diet once but I wasn’t getting enough to eat, so I went on two diets.

None of that. It's a matter of your gut biome and digestive enzymes. These out-of-whack bacterias (paired with insufficiant HCL and enzymes) won't leave you and your apetite alone until you feed them what THEY want (carbohydrates and other shit food that stands undigested). And then we keep attacking our body with too many lectins (Dr Gundry). It's not just a matter of willpower guys. some scientists are looking into fecal transfers from lean to obese persons. Old doctors knew about that. they were using it to treat all depressed fellow medecine students. It works, no matter how gross it sounds.

I really liked the 5:2 diet of Dr Michael Mosley, UK, slow but works; better for me was the low-carb of Doctors Eades, husband and wife.

seems like energy in < energy out or no weight is lost.

I've heard a lot of people are taking Ozempic to lose weight. Wonder how that will turn out.
