The secret to weight loss is to burn more calories than you eat. It's really that simple.
I eat whatever the fuck I want, but I still lose 2lb per week on average when I count calories. Modern apps like MyFitnessPal make it easy (grab an APK off 1337x so you can get the Premium+ features for free). Just scan the barcode on the package, or take a picture of your meal and let the AI figure out its ingredients.
(Or you can just weigh and measure everything if you're dedicated, but I've found my estimates to be close enough, given that I'm still losing the weight I'm expecting to.)
I lost weight eating 1 slice of cake a day. I didn’t eat anything else. It was fantastic!
Fantastic but likely damaging to your body
Oh yeah. The point is calories in and calories out.
