    Don’t. For most part, weight loss and diet culture is bullshit at best and deadly at worst.

    You don’t. If you’re serious about weight loss you need to commit long term.

    Assuming you’re a male, you should not drop below 1500 cal a day, it can cause permanent issues.

      Really? Somehow I doubt that. I’m short (165cm) and I believe I can run below this threshold just fine.

        It does depend on your tdee total daily energy expenditure and BMR base metabolic rate but all the legit info you can find would suggest you talk to a doctor before going below 1500. If I recall correctly you can start to lose muscle and bone density, and bone density doesn’t come back.

    Amputate one of your balls.

    1-2 lbs a week is the MAXIMUM you should be losing.

    Find a TDEE calculator (total daily energy expenditure). It’ll give you a rough idea of how many calories you need to maintain your current weight.

    Eat less than that. Weighing your food is critical or else you’re lying to yourself.

    It’s near impossible to exercise yourself out of a calorie surplus unless you already do endurance sports and if you’re looking for drastic weight loss chances are you can’t handle that much cardio right away without dying.

    All fad diets are a way to trick you into eating less than maintenance. Keto? You won’t be able to get enough calories - so you lose weight - although rarely some people manage to maintain on a keto diet. Vegan? Lose weight due to reduced fat intake and fat is calorie-dense. Intermittent fasting? Just hard to eat 3000+ calories in one meal per day.

    You can even do it in 1 minute with a good axe.

    Calculate your required calories per day (lots of websites have free to use tools for this). Understood the calories per day by a reasonable percentage (same site you use will likely have a feature that does this). Weight loss is calories in calories out, add in some exercise and you help the cause a bit. You’ll never out train a bad diet. Abs aren’t made in the gym they’re made in the grocery store.

    It’s technically possible by water fasting for 2 months, but that is pretty dangerous for so long and you would need a strict vitamin and salt intake to even have a chance of doing it safely.

    Definitely not a good idea, certainly not without doctor supervision.

    Pick up a 1lb bottle of water and drop it once a day, every day, for 50 days.
    You might be able to take a few days off, since you have more time remaining.
