Precisely why I started a strict 1800 calorie cutting diet and working out six times a week. Already down 11kg. Obesity makes you severely at risk yet it's not really highlighted by the news. They make it seem like everybody is at severe risk. If anyone else wants to lose weight, it's simple but very difficult. It will test your discipline. Find out your TDEE using this https://tdeecalculator.net/ https://tdeecalculator.net/, subtract 500 and boom that's your ceiling. Don't eat anything beyond that. Use myfitnesspal to track calories and weigh your food using a scale. That simple. If you work out you will lose weight even quicker. You will succeed or fail in the kitchen. The gym is just gravy on top - fight your battle in the kitchen. It's simple but _very_ difficult. Easily the hardest thing I've done in my life.

It is my understanding that most weight loss attempts are rather successful at the beginning (several weeks), they tend to slide towards a plateau in a few months and it is a real challenge not to gain the lost weight back in a year or two. Long term success rate seems to be around 20 per cent. [0] At the risk of sounding stupid or glib, the best strategy is "not to play", e.g. never gain the extra weight in the first place. Which may not be feasible for people who grow up in fat families and already reach adulthood as obese. But the still-nonobese people should be vigilant.
