Don’t listen to me, I believe all sorts of nonsense.
Weight is not the metric to be measuring by, it fluctuates too much day by day to provide meaningful data and encourages poor behaviors and thought patterns around healthy sizes and shapes.
Most diets work by the grace of being intentional with your food intake via calories/nutrition/macros. Number one thing to do is cut out processed foods. Once your system readjusts to real food it gets really good at self-regulating intake, processed foods are engineered to lie to us to make us eat more. Cravings are our body asking for a nutrient from whatever source it’s most familiar with, so get familiar with the good for you foods.
Another aspect of fat cells is they can be full or empty, our body also stores toxins in full fat cells when it can’t process them out fast enough and each fat cell can be used about 5-6 times. So to get rid of fat you need to detox firat and to get rid of it permanently you need to use up the cells. Basic idea is get on the losing a kg per week then do one week a month gaining a kg instead of losing one until you hit your goals.
Losing weight too fast can also result in excess saggy skin, losing it slower helps with skin elasticity.
