This may be hard for you.... and I don't know how much overweight you are... At my worst, I was 250lbs.. Here are a few things I realized: 1. All these modern fads only work short term. Once you lose your motivation.. It'll be way harder for you to start all over again. 2.Forget all the scientific blabbing, there is no way you're going to lose all your bulk by just intermittent fasting alone or just changing your diet to these new paleo or whatever they're called. You'd lose motivation long before you start reaping the fruit of your labour. 3.The biggest "trick" to staying fit is called consistency. There is no other way around this trick 4. The fastest,safest,healthy way to lose weight is a combination of consistent exercise + consistent clean eating) Here's what I did(I wouldn't recommend it to anyone): 1. Switched to a hardcore fruitarian diet for 30 days, while jog/walking for 5 days a week. Lost 13kgs in the first month. 2. After 30 days eased into half raw veggies and half fruitarian diet,while jogging 6-8km for 5 days a week. Lost another 10kgs that month 3. Added a calisthenics routine (3 days a week ) to the previous program. Can be found on reddit r/bodyweight fitness. Lost another 12kgs, stomach flattened, loads of stretch marks started appearing everywhere, had no clothes that fit properly etc 4. Refined my method after. Settled on a healthy diet mix of fruits,vegetables and occasional carbs and protein (twice a week) while still running daily and doing calisthenics 3 times a week. Slowed down to 5kgs a month (cause it got harder to lose weight) till hit my target weight of 75kg. I do understand this method was dangerous to me and I could've gotten injured from muscle overuse, but I didn't. I never pushed myself beyond my limits, I only made sure I remained consistent and motivated. You can find motivation from reddit forums or YouTube videos or even a guy you'd like to look like when you finally lose the bulk. The key here is consistency
