Calorie counting. And recording everything you eat don't go too low as your body will enter that starvation mode get a nice middle ground going went from 250 to around 160-ish over the course of around 4 years. Time is the only challenger but it worked for me.
How do I lose weight?
This person gets it, I've been trying to tell various people that say they "can't lose weight" this for a while and they don't understand that gaining weight while eating nothing is impossible.
I'd be wary of fad diets in general.
There's nothing wrong with keto specifically. It's a relatively healthy way to live - medium protein, lots of fat, little to no carbs.
It's just that for proper health management you're looking to change behavior permanently. Changing your relationship with food.
Jumping on a diet then coming off again once you've reached a goal, a lot of people tend to balloon back to size.
A lot of people tend to overestimate how much they burn and underestimate how much food costs in calories.
It kinda makes sense. Exercise really does feel like a ton of effort and food is just so easy to put down (for a lot of people anyway).
But yeah, someone will jog half an hour, eat a donut/burger/fries/etc. and think they should be losing weight. They're also shit at estimating amounts of food, so they need the help of a scale. When they cook, they add way too much butter/oil. When they exercise they overestimate how much they're actually doing.
Count your calories, estimate your kCal usage per day, and try to use more than you eat. Dont try to lose it too fast or you'll feel like dogshit and give up. Keto isnt bad, but if you're used to shoveling carbs like most people you will feel like shit for the first week or so. Like others have said it's a math problem, make sure the answer is negative and you'll lose it. It helps also to eat with consistency. When I was fat it was because I had no set work schedule, some days I'd get up and eat four poptarts because I knew I'd get no opportunity to eat again for 12 hours or so and then after a long shift I'd be starving so I'd stuff myself and go to sleep which is also a big problem. If you eat regularly, you wont have the desire to overeat throughout the day.
Everything they said OP, but here's what technique worked for me, finally, after hating being a fat fuck and failing to do anything about it for 16 years (I'm 26).
Just change the habit. That habit of eating when you're bored. If eating when you're stressed. Whenever you way, it's because it's a habit and you've trained your body and brain to expect it. But habits are powerful things, and you can leverage them in your favor. Ignore exercise. Just train yourself to only eat once a day. It'll blow at first, but soon enough, if you actually do it for a couple weeks, your body and brain will stop expecting food all the fucking time.
Then you just make sure that one meal is something not totally unhealthy, and you've got it in the bag. No snacks. Period. You want to stomach to shut down most of the day, because it won't have anything to digest.
You'll feel so much lighter immediately, and when you watch your pudginess start to slowly fade, it'll just be an extra benefit.
You've got this bro. Just remember. The food won't make you feel better. You don't really want it. That's just your brain fucking with you until you retrain it to be in your side.
ive lost about 100 lbs using this method:
take your current weight, multiply it by 14, subtract 500 from that number, this is your maximum calorie intake per day. Stop drinking soda, stop eating junk food, avoid fast food. try do eat as healthy as possible for a month before you start giving yourself a cheat day.
Go to the gym, do both cardio and strength training, (hit the weights) the more muscle you get, the faster you can burn through fat. if your not comfortable doing weights, just hit the treadmill, make sure the treadmill is on an incline.
I'm not ESL or retarded I just hate typing on a fucking phone.

Everyone's going crazy about IF these days, but all it does is force yourself to re-learn what it's like to be hungry. If you force yourself to eat between noon and 8pm, ensuring that your total caloric intake is below your basal metabolism, and eating as few carbs as you can manage, you will shrink your stomach, adapt to being hungry and eating less, and ultimately lose weight
