You can switch to 100% carnivore diet and lose 2lbs/week, like with Ozempic. Must be 100% though which is annoying.

- rhelz 3y agoYeah, I did that, and you sure do lose weight that way. But after a while you REALLY start wanting to eat some carbs. I don't know about you, but for me, anything which requires extreme self-control, 24/7, eventually fails. If it's just a matter of changing habits, yeah that is hard, but it works. It takes a lot of self-control to change a habit, but once you have established a new habit pattern, you do it automatically. Even if its not a matter of habit--like you avoid cheating on your wife by just not hanging out with beautiful women--that works too. It takes self-control, but not continuous self-control. But continuously, actively, fighting against one of your strongest urges takes energy and depletes your willpower. I've been able to do it for 3-6 months, but after that I just cave.

Hilly terrain is no longer a problem either (what would take you 4 hours on a regular bike will be done in 20-30 minutes on an e-bike).
