I wouldn't worry too much about exercise - weight loss is 80 percent about what you eat. Just start walking, always take the stairs etc. and that will have an impact.

This is such a ridiculous made up claim that has no basis in fact.

Food/eating is what you make of it.

Exercise is what you make of it.

You're 49 and don't exercise. My first suggestion would be start doing some weight-bearing exercise to protect your bones from osteoporosis.
what's your body fat percentage?
Try eating a 40/40/20 diet- 40 percent of grams from carbs, protein, and 20 percent fat.
track your food. You would be amazed where you can tighten your diet by eliminating emotional/ mindless snacking.

Exercise. And lose weight slowly.

But since you don't care about the safe way, try eating a bag of sugar free gummy bears every day.

You're not as overweight as I am (I was 5'3" and 155), but I stopped eating carbs (Atkins induction style) and lost 6 pounds in a week with no exercize. Eating that way for two weeks also cured me of my ridiculous sugar addiction. I have kept up the low carb diet, and I allow myself about 50 carbs a day and I have continued to lose. I'm down 10 pounds in one month.

You might be able to lose weight quickly, but definitely not safely. You can lose weight safely, but not quickly. The two are simply not compatible with each other.

Eat less, move more. The minute you stop eating veggies and juices only, the weight will return.

Your brain needs fat and protein, so, no, raw veggies are not a good solution, healthy though they may be.

Whole30

Cut the carbs. Drastically.

How tall are you and how much do you weigh? What foods do you eat now? Are you a fast eater? Emotional eater? Do
You have a family or live alone? How active are you? Do you exercise?

What is the quickest, easiest and most painless way? I'm thinking raw veggies only or maybe veggie juices only? Ideas?
Oh, and with your suggestion, tell me how much you think I can lose. Thanks
