Calories in must be less than calories out for weight loss to happen.
Every other method is trying to sell you something.
Better diet can absolutely help loads, but if you are eating 15 pounds of broccoli and fish a day it's still too much fuel and not enough burn. You can definitely work out to burn some of that energy off but at some point you just have to eat less.
I say this as a current fat person who has lost the weight and put it back on in his life.
I eat my feelings away and I got BIG over the last few years. I was at 340 at my worst. I'm still overweight, but I'm slowly working on it again. It takes time and discipline. Two things I'm not great about.
Person for me I like to start off with a fast of a day or two without any solid foods. Just water and maybe some tea or something. this helps me get over the appetite hump and my huge black hole or a stomach.
If you stop eating huge meals your body will alter where it's "I'm full" feeling is at. Unfortunately food is delicious and I push past that feeling all the time because it's yummy God dammit lol.
Weight loss is not a sprint. It's a marathon. Don't quit if you fall off the wagon. Just get back up and keep joggin.
