    What method did you use to get to need new holes when most of the world is going in the other direction?

      it’s just calories in vs calories out. A better diet paired with more exercise.

      Get an idea of how many calories you burn in a day (you can search for a BMR calculator to give you a ballpark), and eat less than that. I started going on runs, and eating a slightly healthier diet.

        I have tried about every diet and that one didn’t work at all for me. After all the common ones I did Atkins for a few months to great success, but couldn’t keep it up. Then the internet renamed Atkins induction to keto and I tried that for about six months a few times and always failed and put on all I lost.

        Then from low carb I found zerocarb and that was the first easy diet. Now zerocarb is called carnivore and I’m still on it, slowly becoming thinner

          All diets offer the same thing: less calories in than you burn.

          There’s no secret sauce here…it’s just about finding ways you can change your lifestyle to reduce calories in.

          Exercise is good for you for many reasons, but you can’t outrun the spoon. The effort required to burn 1000 calories is significantly higher than the effort required to not eat the 1000 calories.

          The thing that worked for me was tracking my calories every day. Didn’t aim to change what I ate…but when I saw the realities of the calories rich food I was eating I made simple choices to switch it out for low calories. Fibre and Protein are your friend in this fight.

          If you eat less calories than you burn, you will lose weight. That’s just science - that works universally. I don’t really think these fad diets are a good way to view health. There’s a lot more to a healthy diet than just losing weight - your body needs carbohydrates, in fact carbs should be your primary source of calories and foregoing all carbs isn’t a healthy way to lose weight.

        I’m talking about smaller belts. I was asking for how they lost weight. I only know of one diet that works
