[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, you need to be on a diet.[b] Losing fat really is no rocket science.[/b] You just need to eat less than what you burn. The hard part is to accomplish that on a consistent basis as no one likes to be hungry. To make the diet less miserable focus on eating high volumes of low calorie foods (lean meats and fish,  high fiber veggies, low sugar watery fruits like melon or strawberries, zero fat Greek yoghurt etc.) and make sure you have plenty of fiber and protein in every meal. That will ensure you are not hungry all the time. And by all means track your calories. Just eating healthy is not enough. I used to CrossFit five times a week and eat super strict paleo with no sugar, bread or dairy and yet I gained about 10 pounds over a course of a year. With calorie  tracking and without restricting any foods, I lost those 10 pounds in 10 week. [/quote]

I don't know why people keep saying this.  If losing weight and keeping the weight off was so easy we would be a nation of thin people.  Your fighting against your body which wants to keep those ten pounds.  We aren't even sure op needs to lose those ten pounds.  I read a great article in the Washington post about losing weight.    People can look it up but, the title is called "what to know about detoxing from sugar" by Steven Petrow and it was in yesterday's paper ( 8/6/19)[/quote]

She didn’t say it was easy. It’s NOT easy to pass up yummy treats and limit booze and  workout when you don’t want to. That’s why more
People aren’t fit. But it isn’t some magical unknowable formula either. Eat less than you do if you want to lose weight. For 99% of the population that is the deal. Just because it’s hard to not eat everything you want doesn’t mean the solution itself isn’t simple. [/quote]

It's tough to stick to a diet, it's tough to feel hungry. But if you do these things and eat fewer calories than you burn you will lose weight. People over complicate weigh loss by making it sound like you need some special diet (low carb, keto, gluten free, vegan, paleo,  Mediterranean, 6 meals a day, fasting) and while certain diets click for some people and make calorie reduction easier, you don't really need a crazy diet with a special name. At the end of the day losing weight comes down to creating a calorie deficit.  [/quote]
