Stop eating carbs and sugar. Its almost impossible, so you will fail but the effort alone will work wonders

Ensure your body fasts for as long as possible. This means, always have a protein and fat based breakfast, consistently as soon as you get up, but try and make the last time you eat in a day as early as possible

Ensure you are properly hydrated throughout the day. You shouldnt be drinking less than half a litre of water every day, and preferably more.

Ensure to accompany your meal routine ending sooner, that you get as much sleep as possible. This is made easier by waking at exactly the same time every day, bedtimes can be less consistent as life demands it sometimes, but you no longer sleep in.

Daily exercise, no matter how small. Start with a daily walk around the block. This is absolutely essential. The consistency is more important than the amount. If you feel you can comfortably improve the amount without making it suck, this will massively help.



Best advice I’ve seen.

Some weird tips that helped me lose 50lbs, but are related to the above:

- chewing gum

- replace soda with seltzer

- Long bike rides with consistent cadence. Can be on a machine too.

- drink lots of water, it’ll help with the hunger

- replace full meals with veggies, no dressing
