The easiest way to lose weight is to focus on health, rather than weight loss. Once I realised this the weight started falling off!
Cut out sugar, and ultra processed food.
Focus on whole grains, oats, fruit and veg, beans and pulses, tofu.
Once you get over the sugar addiction (which took me a couple of weeks of feeling really crap) it's plain sailing. I don't eat any of the chocolate of snacks that are in the house for the rest of the family, and I don't even want to.
I eat when I'm hungry now, and that's a complete revelation as ive never before had a good relationship with food. I use it as it's intended now, to fuel my body. I don't count calories, or control portions, just eat when I'm hungry, don't when I'm not, and without sugar cravings it's easy.
I also drink loads of coffee, as I have a toddler who doesn't sleep 😅
The weight started falling off after 4 weeks (or that's when I noticed) I'm 4 months in and over a stone lighter with little effort, and losing more every week.
Plus sides are, I'm not ruled by food. Skin, hair and nails amazing. More patient. More level moods. Sleep is better! I also take a multivitamin when I remember.
I know everyone is looking for that magic, instant fix but it's not realistic or sustainable.
Try getting healthy, and you'll be so thankful you did. The weight loss has been an inevitable bonus, not the main pushing force for me and it's taken so much pressure off
