Don't do something too drastic, don't try to hack your body, it usually ends in yo-yo and frustration. I've always been overweight and I lost 20kg over a year by eating less carbs (and not less fat) and move more. Practically it's "simple": - drink water before every meal - don't drink anything with sugar/alcohol in it, there are plenty of drink with no sugar in them - for diet, take smaller servings overall, take more meat/fish... and less rice/pasta/bread/potato, you don't need to do anything crazy - eat often small things, do not go without eating for the whole day to eat 3 pizza in the evening - avoid processed food, like morning cereals (kellogs...) - do not eat at night - take the stairs, walk in circle when you have to wait (like at a bus stop) - feel good about yourself - most importantly, diminish stress
