Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Here's a couple free ones:

Quit drinking alcohol

When I quit drinking I lost about 50 pounds in 6 months with no other diet changes.

Basically stop drinking your calories.

Another one:

Only buy foods you have to prepare, no snacks.

That way you can prevent yourself from idly eating when bored.

Assuming you are in good health other than wanting to lose weight the best thing you can do is buy a food scale and portion out your food and eat 1500 calories a day and no more. Eat what you want when you want just no more than 1500 and you will lose weight like crazy. That's how I did it and I lost a full person's worth of weight, like a full 50% of my body weight.

This is basically the only thing that's been successful for me. I track my calorie intake with an app and shoot for net 1500 (with exercise).

Eating back exercise calories is not recommended.
