You might want to read about what this person did. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angus_Barbieri%27s_fast https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angus_Barbieri%27s_fast I lost 70 pounds (nearly a third of my weight) through just restricting my intake to two tiny meals a day. It sucked really hard at first (I was in what felt like physical discomfort and didn't defecate for a week when I started), but it worked and I've kept it off. It takes time (for me the better part of a year), and making a decision and the willpower to stick with it no matter how much it sucks (as long as you know it's safe). My hunger is still all in my head to this day. I'm sure the challenge of not overeating will last the rest of my life, but the tradeoff of weighing less is worth it. If you want to read about how far the mind can take you, read David Goggin's book, Can't Hurt Me.
