Calorie negative diet. I hear ozempic has worked wonders for many people. Obviously consult a doctor as I don't know shit about medicine.

Basically just cut all the carbs and sugar out of your diet, that will put your body into ketosis so it's burning fat for energy.
Don't do this for too long and make sure to take vitamins while you're doing it.
And keep in mind that cutting ALL sugar out of your diet (which, luckily enough, isn't that easy to do) will starve your brain and make you feel increasingly stupid. It's only after my last week-long fast that I've read that our brains can't really work on glycogen (ketosis-produced "sugar").
Sounds about right. I lost about a pound a day doing keto but I felt pretty foggy, lazy, and constantly hungry the whole time.
TAPEWORM
I, cannot disguise,
all the stomach pains
and the walking of the cranes
when you, do come out
and you whisper up to me
in your life of tragedy
But I cannot grow
till you eat the last of me
oh when will I be free
and you, a parasite
just find another host
just another fool to roast
cause you
my tapeworm tells me what to do
you
my tapeworm tells me where to go
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY
Partner had one once.
Can confirm it works, bit takes awhile to really get going.
Used to legit be sold for exactly that, but when you got to your 'ideal weight' you wrote them for the second set of pills-a dewormer.
Lol

Removing a leg can help you lose 10 to 20 kg of weight with very little effort.
Stop Eating
the best way to make it stick is to take it slowly. Become more aware of the food choices you make - a food log is helpful here - without necessarily looking to correct them first. Just note the times when you think about food, the times you're able to eat healthy and smaller portions and the times when it's harder. Then try and inject some alternatives, make healthier options available for yourself at home, and gradually move your food decisions toward more nutritious food and smaller portions of comfort food.
Even then, thinking in nutrition has moved on from eliminating "bad foods" to eating "good foods" first, and finding a level of moderation with less nutritious food that fits with your goals.
"Stop eating" diets and "fast weight loss" as a primary goal are very good ways to sabotage yourself in the long term. The psychological costs of very restrictive diets are real and lead to losing adherence down the road. Maybe it works for some but the more gradual choice-focused approach worked a lot better for me. Just do what you're capable of day to day, always trying to push that needle a little further, and you might be surprised at how fast noticeable progress comes!
A healthy and balanced diet. Although I'd really recommend being physically active, it's really important for overall health.
I'm a former model. Cocaine + water/juice fasting is what we did. Absolutely not recommended. Please lose weight the healthy way.
A bit expensive as a diet
I can't feel my mouth
Would you say that is very common in modeling circles?
Yes, cocaine is the piΓ¨ce de rΓ©sistance in the modeling world. It suppresses appetite (essential when extreme thinness is expected), acts as a stimulant (helpful when youβre deprived of food and sleep), and serves as a social lubricant in elite circles (crucial for networking). All birds, one stone.
Yeah that makes sense. Did you enjoy working as a model?
I had an old friend that moved to NYC to model and did well, but we very quickly lost contact with each other. I wonder how's she's doing now.
Sooo where's the downside

The good news is that exercise isn't good for losing fat anyway!
It's all about diet.
Weight loss starts in the kitchen.
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.
Stop eating.
I don't know why you were downvoted. It's called "fasting," and it's an entirely legitimate way to lose weight. There's good evidence that, if done thoughtfully, it can have health benefits.
Calories in, calories out. There's no way around physics.
imo nobody who is struggling to lose weight needs to be told about energy balance. Everyone knows what a calorie is, and that there's a daily amount at which they will either lose or gain weight. They probably know they're above that amount, and need to bring it down to lose weight.
Unfortunately either a lot of good advice or a lot of bad advice can follow that. Nutrition and the psychological factors that influence people's diets are more complicated and no answer is complete without getting into that too.
imo nobody who is struggling to lose weight needs to be told about energy balance.
I disagree when I've heard countless people make up wild reasons why they can't lose weight and it's never about eating more calories than they burn. I'm not trying to shame anyone (im overweight myself) but the billion dollar weight loss industry has convinced too many people that it's some super complex problem that can only be solved with some wacky diet and a monthly fee.
I'm definitely with you in that diet culture does much more harm than good and the weight loss industry overcomplicates it in favor of wacky diets and subscriptions and such.
That being said, just because grifters overcomplicate something, doesn't mean it's actually not complicated - especially psychologically, which matters a lot when eating disorders, sensitivities, and difficulties acquiring and preparing quality food, all are in the mix. The psychological aspects are what "weight loss solutions" try to sidestep and I think it really sets people up for failure even if they see some short term loss early on.
Knowing about energy balance could be enough for some, but it's also definitely reasonable for someone to have further challenges and seek outside help for it. A good nutritionist, trainer, or even therapist can be invaluable for someone struggling to lose weight and keep it off.
Stopping entirely for long periods reduces metabolism. Intermittent fasting does work for a lot of people though.
Right. The idea is to do it thoughtfully, and informed. Exercising can kill, too, but it's usually overdoing it that causes harm.
Right. It seems the top commenter was uninformed or too lazy to put actual useful information in their comment.
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
Interval fasting.
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.
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.
This 100%.
Followed by drinking ditch water and getting dysentery.
