Was gettting fat myself over the covid period. Reducing meal size was the key to my getting back to normal and not feeling overweight. Didnt exercise anymore than taking care of my kids. Normal chore stuff. Pretty obvious to me that i was stuffing my face with way too much food. Everyday. Is something you cant ignore, is the obvious answer. Your eating too much food. I can eat whatever i want, but i naturally eat a balanced diet some good some crap, just dont overdo it and im good. Exercise is also helpful but the true answer is to not over eat. Is too easy to over do it. Your stomach will adjust to the size it should be. You will start to feel full on less food and is prob where it should be imo. At first you will feel hungry but trust your not in need and wont die. Will be good for you in the long run. Will be the easiest weight you ever lost if you can control your intake.
How can I lose 60 lbs without working out?

60lbs! Without working out? Have you tried meth?
Imo there is no way to lose that much without working out. I think youd die before losing 60lbs simply by reducing your intake. I didn’t read the whole thread so apologies if your unable to work out because of injury or health but if not you should of started exercising around 20lbs over.

Does he just want to be ighter and weaker or healthier regardless of weight? I think if he was a muscle bound 250 hed be better than starving himself to a 250 lb bag of forskin no?

While you can lose weight by simply dieting, nothing is going to beat diet AND exercise.
If you really want to burn the fat, you need to increase muscle mass. Your muscles are metabolizers. The more you have, the more calories you burn, and more efficiently.
Years ago I decided to get in shape. I went from 235 to 165 in about a year. I did the low/no carb diet, lean proteins and veggies, and followed the 5x5 weightlifting program.
If you were to do only ONE exercise, make it heavy barbell squats. Your leg muscles are your body's biggest metabolizers. It is the most bang for the buck exercise you can do.

Yeap! Goal should be not just losing weight, but losing fat while maintaining, or even increasing muscle mass. Just starving yourself and losing both is never good.
5x5 is such a great program for the cut. I've done 2 cuts so far with it and lost barely any strength while cutting 30-ish lbs per cut.
That or heavy deadlifts. On top of that, heavy compounds also boost your hormone production like nothing else, and that helps with decreasing body fat too.

5x5 is a great program, and it's just free, widely available knowledge that's been around forever.

I’ve often heard the phrases : “You can’t outrun a bad diet” and “A 6 pack is made in the kitchen, not the gym” and am starting to believe them. I gained 45 pounds quickly in college - stoner roommates, pizza/wings/cheesesteak/mozzarella stick/fried twinkies and more - offered delivery until 4 am most nights, and we had a pizza place right outside the dorm entrance. I had my highschool athlete appetite, and new sedentary lifestyle of smoking and playing video games. Supplement with plenty of vitamin beer, and it got out of hand, fast. I was 6’5” and got up to 275#. I wound up losing it all a few years later by working in the kitchen and learning how to cook. I cut out fast food, alcohol, and sugar, and just cooked at home. I never weighed or portioned any food, never “dieted”, never got a gym membership. Just staying active and eating better, the weight came off. I’ve been steady between 210-215# for about a decade now. I can wear all of my highschool clothes (I’m actually a pant size smaller than I was in highschool). My blood sugar also returned to normal after having swings, and fears of pre-diabetes. My wife lost 30 pounds too, not doing shit but eating what I cooked and giving up the processed junk.

Back when I was younger I lost 55 pounds in two months by watching what I ate and working.
But gained it back. Figure this time is better.
When I was first married weighed 145 pounds. I'm no longer able to do things. Went to my Doctor and I weighed 305 pounds. He said I was fat. So now I'm down to 250 pounds, plan on losing much more.

Outside the health benefits from exercising, why wouldn't you want to work out..
I myself am not one to sit around, I have to be active.

Don't eat anything that tastes good is the key.

Oh I was told by a Nurse years ago if I had anything in my mouth that taste good spit it out I'm not to eat it.
Actually there is very few things I'm supposed to have but I need a life.
I have found eating one meal a day is working. I've lost about 60 pounds.

Hey does it do any good to not have any THC for a few days?

I dropped 100 lbs, it took about a year. No sugar (except for my morning coffee creamer) and I try to keep my carb intake at 30% or less of the daily allowance, read all labels, sugar hides everywhere. I eat meat, dairy, and vegetables. I'm down from 2 blood pressure pills to 1/2 a pill. My cholesterol went from 250 to 100, and my A1C went from 7.4 to 5.8. I'm still working on losing another 40 lbs. I did not increase my exercise, but to lose this next bunch of weight I'm gonna have to start walking. It's a long slow road, but start the journey, I feel sooo much better.

Grilled chicken (white meat) or fish with veggie sides preferably fresh uncanned with only water to drink. Do it for ONE month. If you dont lose 15-20% of your overall weight you are cheating.
I did the chicken, seafood and fish with baked potatoes and fresh veggies no seasonings no butter no bread in 2009 (45 yrs old). I bought an indoor grill and only cooked for myself. Cost averaged $5 per meal. Drank only water. Went from 235 to 172 in 6 weeks and could see abs again! Had a couple of my clients pull me close and ask if I had (serious health issues or cancer) the weight loss was so dramatic.
Unfortunately, when I stopped I put it back on and a little more over the next year eating drive-thru food and drinking a 2 liter of Pepsi a day.
The diet does work though and its better than going vegetarian!

Lose 1lb then worry about the next one.
