So tempted but only got a few kg to lose - advice

[WindsChange]

Hi - looking for advice from those who have been through similar.
I’ve got a strong family history of diabetes type 2, stubborn belly fat (despite exercising 6 days a week and being very fit). I’m mixed ethnicity - all of which are risk factors.

However I’m only actually a few kg overweight (BMI 25.9).
I know there are ways around getting weight loss drugs (please don’t judge, I’m feeling desperate and wanting to protect my health).
I cannot do it alone - I have tried for years dieting and I eat pretty healthy generally although I’ve got severe ADHD and impulse eat at night.
Has anyone else tried with only a smaller than recommended amount to lose?
How did it go?

That’s true for any weight loss where exercise and sufficient protein aren’t implemented. It’s not specific to WLI.

The issue with WLI is that the low calories can be maintained for a much longer period, possibly years. But yes many people undereat naturally and also have low muscle mass.
