Try getting out for a walk every day, and a run maybe a few times a week? Running is apparently the fastest way to loose weight. The key is to not give up on whatever diet/excercise you choose, being consistent is the secret!

This. This and a good diet with a lot of proteins and less sugar and fat.

try intermittent fasting more, or as someone else said about a calorie deficit and some light exercise such as walking

I managed to lose 20kg by cutting out bread of all kinds and rice. Just eat all food with salad. Reduced my sugar intake by eating only 1-2pcs of chocolate after lunch and dinner. Lost the weight in 8 months

I simply stopped eating bread and similar yeast products such as rolls, pasta or cookies. I also gave up sweets. I recently found https://betterme.world/articles/no-carbs-diet-plan-for-2-weeks/ and I am thinking of trying a new diet for myself. I think it would help a little and maybe I will also add some light exercise to my regimen. I think it will work and then I will share the information with you.

First of all, you're not alone; many people have trouble controlling their appetite and portion sizes. Although it's usually not safe to lose weight quickly, there are healthy options to begin at home:

1.

Pay attention to protein and fiber—foods that keep you fuller for longer include eggs, beans, yoghurt, fruits, and vegetables.

2.

Smaller, more frequent meals: To control hunger, eat four to five small meals rather than large ones.

3.

You can burn calories without going to the gym by doing low-impact activities at home, such as bodyweight exercises, short dance sessions, or walking in place.

4.

Steer clear of sugary drinks and snacks; they increase calories but don't make you feel full.

5.

Drink plenty of water, since occasionally thirst might be mistaken for appetite.


Consistency is more important than speed; even little adjustments might start to show results and improve your mood without causing you to go hungry.

It’s great that you’re motivated to make a change. While quick fixes rarely last, you can start seeing progress by focusing on sustainable habits. Try eating high-protein foods (like eggs, lentils, or yogurt) and high-fiber snacks (like fruits or veggies) they help you stay full longer. Drink plenty of water before meals and use smaller plates to manage portion sizes naturally. For exercise, even daily walks or short home workouts can make a big difference over time. Most importantly, aim for steady, gradual loss rather than rapid results it’s safer and easier to maintain long term.

Losing weight quickly can be tempting, but the safest and most sustainable approach is to focus on small daily habits that make a real difference especially since you can’t go to the gym right now.
Here are a few practical tips that work well without intense exercise:
1. Start with simple portion control You don’t need to eat less food immediately start by serving yourself slightly smaller portions and wait 10 minutes before taking more. Your body often feels full later than your hunger signals suggest.
2. Choose high-volume, low-calorie foods Foods like fruits, vegetables, soups, oats, and eggs keep you full without adding too many calories. This helps reduce hunger naturally.
3. Focus on light movement A daily 20–30 minute walk, even at a slow pace, can make a noticeable difference over time. No gym required.
4. Reduce liquid calories Cutting down on soft drinks, sweet tea, and juices can create an immediate calorie drop without feeling deprived.
5. Maintain a regular eating schedule Eating at consistent times helps control cravings and prevents overeating later.
If you’re trying to make a long-term change, slow and steady progress is much healthier and easier to maintain than extreme dieting. If possible, consider speaking with a healthcare professional for personalized guidance especially since weight and hunger patterns vary for everyone.

@Userrrr314 hey! Been there.

Few things that actually worked without gym:
1. Drink water before every meal (wait 10 mins)
2. Eggs/yogurt for breakfast - keeps you full for hours
3. Use smaller plates - weird but works
4. Walk while on your phone/studying
5. Write down everything you eat for 3 days (eye-opening!)
The biggest change for me was fixing my sleep and stress levels. When I was stressed/tired, I ate way more. Started focusing on overall wellness (mental + physical) and the weight loss became natural instead of forced.
If you want specific product recommendations for wellness support, happy to share what worked for me. But honestly, start with the basics above first - they're free and make the biggest difference.

Good luck mate! 🙌
