Hello. Sorry for the late response, but I was celebrating at the moment.

When it comes to working out and losing weight, I am sadly a horrible person to ask questions about it. So far, I failed more times them most people tried.

But, the first thing I can say for sure is, that it's a long process. You have to incorporate into your life some hard rules. For me, whenever I can, I take a weight measure every single morning after dumping cargo, before eating and naked. This is, so I can observe, if my minimal is moving down. Last month, I kinda failed in losing weight, but that is almost inevitable during the holidays. But, it did help me find, that my last diet was working during the 3 months test period, and I do plan on reseting it today again.

Second: Diet.
The diet I found so far to be the most sustainable was 1-2 bread slices with butter in the morning, a free food for lunch, and a single jogurt portion in the evening. But, this was my chosen way, because it did fit my time schedule quite well. You will have to find, where the limit on your will is, since that is the resource you will be working with for an entire YEAR. So, keep in mind, that if it's breaking you in first 2 weeks, you better find a less destructive combination.

And lastly, keep your eyes on the target. It might seem insanely performative to say no to a company dinner, or a birthday cake, but here's the hard line. Literally every single diet ends with one little exception, and the only way to fail is to open that door. Stay strong king.
