People need to stop eating processed sugar. Losing and keeping off weight is easy. As soon as I stopped eating, candy, baked shit from coffee shops and crap, fast food, and stopped drinking pop, it became hard to gain weight. That shit's poison. It gives your body nothing. Cutting out nearly all processed sugary food is the easiest way to lose weight with basically no effort. I didn't change my lifestyle, I don't count calories or exercise to any regime. I sat for hours a day at my last job. I just stopped eating garbage and eating food that's actually food. I'm 5'8", I'd been over 200lbs for years and years. I can't get above 150lbs now and all I do is not eat sugar or processed crap. I eat tons of cheese and meat, I have at least one kind of grain and vegetable with each meal.
If the main ingredients of something are chemicals and sugar. It's not food. Don't eat it. Your body will be healthy, you'll lose weight. It's a pretty simple concept. These things give your body nothing. Your body needs certain things to make new cells and perform biological functions, eat those things and you'll be healthy. Eat garbage and poison and you won't be.
Eta: Sorry for the tone of my post. I've sat and watched a good friend of mine slipping in and out of a diabetic coma in a hospital brought on directly by the food he eats and to this day he still refuses to change his diet in anyway and I'm honestly worried it's going to kill him. This topic makes me a little more unreasonable than usual.

- lazyasciiart 7y agoYou have a friend who will probably die before he changes what he eats and you still call it "easy"?
- grawprog 7y agoHe's in his 50's and doesn't believe the food causes problems and just doesn't care. It's not a matter of a lack of willpower or trying, in his case it's a lack of giving any kind of fucks.
- mikedilger 7y agoIf you eat that "poison" then quitting it will drop your weight. But some people don't eat that "poison" and yet they still carry a lot of body fat. So it is good general advice but insufficient for people with a genetic predisposition to obesity. I for one eat mostly salad, never drink sodas and don't really like sweet things, usually skip breakfast, hunt rabbits most days on steep terrain (for exercise and dogfood)... and yet I sit at 220lbs.
