Losing Weight Is Easy
…once you get past the hard part.
We all eat 3x more than what we actually need. With time and care it is possible to reduce your intake without any loss of function. Ask anyone with a lap-band. They have it easier because they can’t physically eat too much. To do it without surgery probably depends on your mental make-up. But if you can do it, losing weight is easy.
If you already eat the bare minimum required to function the same as anyone else, on 1/3 of the food, then reducing it a little bit more means losing weight. Over 18 months I naturally put on around 5kg (I don’t exercise, and drink a fair bit…). Then I lose in over 2 months by skipping every 2nd breakfast. As someone who only eats when I need to, I am very used to the feeling of hunger. Hunger gives me strength, when I am in the mood.
So if you are lucky that you can, try just eating less each day. When I was a kid it was meat and three veg, plus dessert, every night. Now, a burger and chips is too much food. Anyone who has the willpower to, say, quit smoking, can eat less also. So give it a go!
