A healthy and balanced diet. Although I'd really recommend being physically active, it's really important for overall health.
Stop eating.
A machete
I'm a former model. Cocaine + water/juice fasting is what we did. Absolutely not recommended. Please lose weight the healthy way.
I can't feel my mouth
A bit expensive as a diet
The good news is that exercise isn't good for losing fat anyway!
It's all about diet.
Counterpoint: you can't live any sort of halfway decent life "without exercise"
You don't improve quality of life by losing weight 'quickly' at all. Steady and sustainable are the only way, and exercise is part of that.
Different question though.
If someone says, "First things first, I want to sit still all day. Given that, how do I...." then it's worth calling out their mad constraints.
It's not a "counterpoint" to the actual answer though, it's a sidenote.
You don't know their circumstances. I can't exercise effectively for various medical reasons so (for now) I only do caloric deficit and intermittent fasting. It's slower than I'd like of course (and slower than OP wants, presumably) but it's what I can do now.
Exactly!
For the last year I've been a primary wheelchair user, I can walk a bit but that only gets me to the bathroom. Since then my weight has become a bit of a problem but I'm already doing the maximum exercise I'm capable of. I have dropped 10 over the last few months just by diet, which is less than I would like but it's what I can do.
You cant assume the "mad constraints" is just laziness without knowing the full picture. Either answer the question or scroll on, but its cruel to attack someone over what they can't do.
Get really sick. Cancer will often do it. A broken thyroid. There are a number of GI disorders too.
Depression with loss of appetite is how I did it
Except if you are the overeating type of depressed person.
Too much dopamine in food I can't quit
If you don't want medicine then you need to reduce calorie intake. There a bunch of tracking apps out there you can try. Essentially if you burn more calories than you ingest your body will burn fat reserves to make up the difference.
The tracking aspect also creates a mental barrier for food intake. If snacking is a bit tedious because you need to write it down, there's a larger chance you really think about eating something or not.
This is my experience.
Interval fasting.
Exrcise ya lazy bollix.
Liposuction
Calorie Deficit
Ozempic
long answer, many ways, from dangerous diets, uperations, medicine, drugs...
short answer, no. try to get a healthier lifestyle that will gradually get you to where you want to be. Do you want to be skinnier or do you want to be more active and do stuff you would love to do.
if it's just a self image issue, I get that, I really do. but you'll get there in time
Intermittent fasting + keto diet + eating less + constant hydration. If you add some exercise to that, you will see very fast early results. It won't get you all the way, but a month straight of that and you will easily see fat reduction.
