Folks Open Up About 31 Weight-Loss Hacks They Used To Dump Fat For Good

Food scale, a diet tracking app, and planning my diet. I spent a few minutes figuring out how many calories I could eat and still be in a deficit, given my lifestyle. I then planned out some meals that would keep me in that range and I recorded what I ate to make sure I was sticking to it. I managed to lose almost 60lbs in a year this way. I was also exercising but the weight loss was very slow until I got the food scale and started tracking what I ate.

Cancer did the trick for me. Down over 70lbs!

I hiked 2,650 miles in 5 months.

I have a chronic illness and have been unable to exercise, I started the 16:8 diet on January 2nd. Basically I eat breakfast just after 10am, lunch around 1pm and eat my dinner by 6pm. Then I fast for 16 hours until 10am the next morning. I can drinks as much water as I like in those fasting hours with cup of tea ect… as long as it’s all sugar free, since January 2nd I’ve lost 34 pounds so far and my plan is another 28 pounds by Xmas.

I use Tirzepitide. It's a stronger version on ozempic. some say maybe that's cheating, but when you're an obese alcoholic who needs to dry out, this was my route. Currenlty down 60 lbs and the desire to drink has vanished.

Therapy and exercise. Also many mental health meds. Turns out it's much easier to not have an eating disorder and other mental health issues ruling your life. A lot of it depends on doing what works best for YOU. I can't do intermittent fasting and sometimes even calorie counting because A - I have ADHD and B - it triggers food trauma responses. (I grew up very poor and food insecure)

I've still got aways to go. But at my highest I was over 455 and now I'm 379.

Low carb diet and exercise daily (mostly just walking) I’m down 50lbs in the span of a year.

Multiple Sclerosis- 200lb to 160lb to 240lb to 150lb now at 175lb. In 5 years MS+Steroids, do not recommend.

Intermittent fasting. Also water fasting and dry fasting. Giving up sweets and alcohol as well as junk food (salty and sweet).

Want my honest answer? Not the healthy way. I starved myself often and ate rarely and when I did it was really low calories. I also tried to work out enough to burn away the calories I ate. I still don’t really eat because I know if I do I’ll gain weight again and that’s something I don’t want to face.

Edit: I should specify that I have anorexia, diagnosed. Do NOT do what I did. It almost [ended] me and I’m still trying to recover. Please follow healthy advice for weight loss.
