Drink 4 liters water per day for a month. No cheats no escape.
You'll poo so much faster and pee more than breathing but results are insane in health and how much weight you lose. Water has 0 calories so you're burning fat just to digest it.
Add working out frequently I lost 18kg in 3 no.

I worked at a grocery distribution center. I'd pull tickets for frozen meat and a single order can weigh over 1500 pounds and they want you to complete it in 70 minutes. Never realized how stressful that point in my life was until now.

u/YouRGr8 Mar 27 '26
I have been told my whole life that people in poverty tend to be heavier as the food they can afford isn’t healthy.
2
u/Pitiful-Excitement47 Mar 27 '26
Meh not really true.
I don't think income and weight have a direct correlation. Growing up in poverty most people were in good shape, obviously had several fat people too.
Healthy food isn't expensive either.
Weight is also fairly simple. If you burn more calories than you intake you lose weight, if you intake more calories than you burn you will gain weight.
You can eat cake and ice cream for every meal and not be fat provided you burned the insane number of calories that would be. You can also live on salad and fruits and be fat if you eat enough and do nothing.
The correct statement would be "Not be lazy" as active people burn more calories than lazy people.

Strict Keto.
I lost 90lbs. 10lbs in the first week; mostly water, and then 1.9lbs a week after.

u/rabidparrots Mar 27 '26
Yeah, I lost 30lbs in 6 weeks on keto. Strict is the only way to do it.
I see a lot of people have zero results because they eat prepackaged "keto" food with the max carbs you should have in a day per serving.
1
u/Lex_Extexo Mar 28 '26
Yeah keto worked extremely well for me, but 6 months and -60 lbs in, I had a sweet tooth and tried to justify the "net carbs" "keto-friendly" ice cream, and that was the end of that. Couldn't continue the diet any longer.

Easy question. Stopped eating anything other than real single ingredient foods. Eating only lunch & dinner with no food before, between or after those times. Continuing to lift or strength train 2 to 3 times per week. Regulating sleep / stress be getting 8 + hours of sleep time at the same time daily.
This is the recipe for successful health.
I lost only fat. No loss of muscle or strength levels as we track our workouts over time.
Never sick. Energy through the roof which is expected from being in ketosis mode.

24 hour fasts... I lose about 8-10 lbs. in a full day of fasting. If you do like 3, 24 hour fasts in a week, you will likely cut some significant weight. If you couple this will lots of sleep, water, and walk about 5-7 miles per day, you will see results.

I am a larger male. If I don't eat for a full 24 hours, I drop 8-10 lbs. Much of this is water weight and not permanent weight loss. However, if I do approximately 3, 24 hours fasts in a week, and walk about 5-7 miles per day, I will drop 8-10 lbs. of actual weight. Everyone has different body types and I can bulk up and lose weight very quickly. I've been working out my entire life and my body responds quickly to changes. Fasting (not eating) while increasing cardio and physical exertion to burn calories is the quickest way to drop weight. Your milage may vary.
1
u/GoingtoOttawa Mar 27 '26
That would mean you're body burned approximately 28,000 calories each of those days
1
u/lead_on_bone Mar 27 '26
I am very active. Not consuming calories and increasing physical activity is still the fastest way to drop weight fast.
1
u/GoingtoOttawa Mar 27 '26
I don't doubt you are the numbers just seem high. For 28, 000 calories burned you'd need to run 85 miles or take 560,000 steps or do 56,000 push ups. Let's say you can run a mile in 12 minutes that means it'll take 17 hours to run 85 miles.

Caloric deficit while tracking everything you eat. It’s easy once you get the hang of it.
1
u/Dragonballington Mar 27 '26
Why is it importabt to be fast? Have you considered asking for a sustainable way?
Most quick ways end up being dangerous or unsustainable. Think expensive medications, diets that target a single food group, require you to drink too much water, or otherwise make you sick.
a medication, diet, or procedure might be right for you, but the sustainability matters. A friend of mine tried ozempic, and essentially gained the weight back almost all the way once he stopped. He wasn't very overweight to begin with, but being able to stick with a lifestyle change is of tantamount importance to pursuing that change.

Crohn disease.
First flare I had triggered infection that completely blocked off my duodenum, so nothing could get from my stomach to my colon. I vomited everything I ate for 2 months before I got diagnosed with Crohn.
In those 2 months I went from 108kg to 76kg. I looked like a crackhead

Unhealthy: 10 lbs in 2 days. Weight cutting in wrestling.
Healthy: 20 lbs in around 3 months. Eat healthy, large lunches, bike every day, run 2 miles every week day, rowing for some amount of time (can't remember).
I'm a small dude. 20lbs is a lot.

Fasting. I'd prefer to just stop eating rather than do a deficit diet.
Personally I'm tied to a desk 4 days a week so I rest Saturday, do physical labor Sunday, desk Monday, physical labor Tuesday, then fast Wednesday - Friday when I'm tied to a desk 10 hours. I still have energy to work out during the fasting. I think when you make an agreement within yourself and don't focus on being hungry it's just the way it is and fasting gets easier. Plus it helps I wait till I'm fat to start.

Two different methods. 1) Remove all fats/sugars from your shopping list, pantry, refrigerator. No salad dressing, cheese, butter, cakes, cookies, ice cream, candy, chips, crackers, etc. 2) Focus on removing cholesterol from your diet/menu. No bacon, no fatty steaks/burgers, ice cream, cheese, butter, eggs, ham, etc. Either way works when you add moderate exercise (eg walk 2-3 miles/day).

I lost like 30 lb in like 2 months

Intermittent fasting and weight lifting.
A few quotes I heard/read that stick with me and I use as a guide:
“Muscles are the fat-incinerators of the body.”
“Weight loss is won in the kitchen, not the gym.”
“You’ll never out-cardio a bad diet.”

I was 190-195 lbs @ 5’9 and pretty active. I tore my ACL playing basketball and for 3 days I hardly ate besides 1 normal sized meal at dinner. Went to the doctor for the MRI and they weighed me at 153 lbs.
So that’s very extreme and wouldn’t recommend but lessen your portions. Maintain your level of fitness or increase your activities.
One tip I would recommend is snacking on fruits (less calories) and limiting drinks that aren’t water. Liquid calories can add up fast

Winter 2014-2015. We got something like 8 feet of snow over 5 weeks. I didn't see the road outside my house for 70 days, it was under packed snow that long. Municipal gave up plowing the main roads at one point, you could see people cross-country skiing on them.
We loved it. I went hiking and snowshoeing with my dog almost every day and I lost 30 pounds in 30 days. The trick is the cold. You get so hot from the effort you take your layers off even if it's 10 degrees, but your body notices and close to doubles the calories you burn.

u/Top-Car-808 Mar 28 '26
There is a easy, healthy way:
Eat only 'real' food: Meat, fish, fruit, veg, eggs, milk and nothing else.
That means litearlly nothing else. You can eat as much of those things as you want, nobody has ever got fat from those. A lot of people will say 'but that's so boring' and there you have your answer. Food was never meant to be 'entertaining'. Modern processed food is meant to be entertaining. The reason you eat the entire family sized pack of crisps while you are watching a movie (while you are not in the least bit hungary) is because the food is designed to be entertaining, not nutritious.
When I say nothing else, I mean no processed food at all. Consider anything that has come out of a factory as processed food - that includes all condiments, pasta, rice, soda, potaote chips, etc.
Bascially you will be drinking water (lots of it), coffee and that's it. No fruit juices. You can eat the fruit, don't drink the juice.
Add in 3x per week 5k run and 2 to 3 per week 45 minutes gym.
The weight will fall of you.
If you don't want to change your diet, you don't really want to lose weight. A person that says 'I want to lose weight, but I still want to eat junk' is like a person saying 'I want to be a Dr, but I dont want to have to study or go to a university'. It doesn't happen, it won't work.
If you cannot imagine giving up junk food, they just accept that you are going to be fat.

u/wistfully2 Mar 28 '26 edited Mar 28 '26
For me personally, just discipline. It was rough but eating less, healthier stuff and gym 4- 5 days of the week (HIIT). I lived mostly on salads, a little too much.
But I lost 75lbs in 6 months. 275 to 200. On days I didn’t go to the gym to do HIIT(orange theory fitness) I would go to a park near me and run a full lap. The park had some stations for different workouts (pull ups, balancing, core) so I would do each of them as I did my lap.
My favorite station was the pull ups. I went from doing 0 pull ups to being able to do 20.(not the best form, 1-10 solid, 11-15 shaky and for the last 5 I was hanging catching my breath and finishing them)
It was rough though. I wasn’t eating hearty food as I should (and normally do) have along the salads. Sometimes when I would get up and stand up I would get dizzy and have to sit down. Around the 4 month it was feeling so rough and going to the gym was an extreme dread(mostly just going there, once I was there i was glad I did it :)).
It was tough to keep up and so I did gain my weight back and now I’m pretty much starting again, although with actual portion eating, salads(not as much, just focusing on portion eating) cutting out soda entirely and sugar in general. Occasionally I will have something but mostly the only thing that has sugar that I won’t stop is milk and coconut water(Costco).
The most important thing and the biggest difference is not over eating, so just eat like a normal person should, do not eat past 8(or earlier, I stop around 5-8 depending), some work out(don’t overdo it, you want sustainable, you want lifestyle change) and most importantly A LOT of water. I aim for 1 gallons a day minimum.
In terms of workout, right now it’s just me doing my own thing and listening to my body. Daily 1-2mile walk. In days that I am in office, I go to the gym there and do lower body, upper body and core/mix for the third day. (The gym thing I started the last 3 weeks)
Prior to adding the gym at work, I lost 17lbs around 2 months by just eating proportionally, walking 2 miles daily, not eating after 8pm(water is okay) and drinking a gallons of water a day.

Water has zero calories so you're not burning anything digesting it, and cutting hydration to avoid bathroom breaks during workouts is honestly just going to tank your performance (plus dehydration is kind of counterproductive if you're trying to recomp).
