Don't cut too much out too quickly or your body will think it's starving and gain more

I thought we agreed that 'starvation mode' isn't a real thing? Or maybe it was just a nice dream.

Starvation mode is very much so a real thing. That's why diet fads always end with the person gaining weight more than they started.

Calorie count. It really isn't rocket science. Eat food packed with nutrients but not enough calories to entirely fill your day and you'll stay healthy and shed weight. Once you are where you are, even your shit out.

Eating better food is more important than eating less food.

Not if you are eating so much that you are gaining calories (if you are trying to lose weight)... of course you can always just do some aerobic exercise and quickly burn it off.

It's usually recommended that the quality of the diet be the first thing that changes and that it is a slow transition. Making super quick changes (like suddenly starting to go full tilt or sudden eat 30% less) will do more harm than good as it decreases your odds of sticking with it by an inordinate amount. Lots of small changes to the diet's quality over an extended period of time are a lot more likely to stick. Also just an fyi if someone is burning more than 2-3 pounds within a week that's getting unhealthy. Straying much further upwards in weight lose speed gets into dangerous territory

I never said suddenly cutting your calorie intake by 30% lol, yeah, that'd be nuts and end horribly. Just cut it by even 3% from break even and the weight will slowly come off.

It would both be better for your body as a whole and work better for losing weight to change your diet to a healthy one incrementally over a moderate period of time

Not condoning eating unhealthy, but when you work 12 to 14 hours every day, it can be a lot easier to grab a cheeseburger or chicken sandwich from a fast food place than it is to go to the store and spend the time to make food and count calories

so buy in bulk and plan your week. Sacrificing a half night of sleep is healthier than eating like shit for a week.

Buying in bulk doesn't always work, especially with healthy foods... I'm in construction and it's rare to have a place to keep a decent lunch refrigerated when I can pack one. I have my son 2 days a week and those days I make sure to eat healthier with him

At least you are making an attempt. My point was more about people who want to lose weight but are just lazy as fuck and wallowing in self-pity. I can't stand that shit.

There was a saying.. "Bodies are made in the kitchen, sculpted in the gym."
