Here's a couple free ones:
Quit drinking alcohol
When I quit drinking I lost about 50 pounds in 6 months with no other diet changes.
Basically stop drinking your calories.
Another one:
Only buy foods you have to prepare, no snacks.
That way you can prevent yourself from idly eating when bored.
Some people also eat from boredom or habit; sit in front to the TV, get a snack. Turn on the Xbox, get a snack.
It's me, I'm people. And I'm not even out of shape, just bad habits.
I'm real close to trading in my gaming chair for a recumbent bike. I've done it before, but sold it in a move. I don't even sweat; I just keep moving. Works well.
Ideally, I'd be able to hook up whatever to it and use it as like...supplemental power, but honestly, I'm about as little work as possible. I'm working on my exercise bike rn, I run, I have a water rower and am planning on buying a nicer one soon cause my Amazon Special one is lacking now after using a nice one. But the recumbent bike in front of a TV is just unbeatable. I can play Xbox and just mindlessly pedal on it, and unlike the exercise bike, I don't feel it in my taint (sorry for the imagery) for 2 days afterwards. Lol
I also try the water stuff, just doesn't help. I have a camelback on my chair I fill with water I drink out of lmao
Same I think? Idk when metric users round up, but I'm ~1.85m. I just don't fit comfortably lol.
Sounds like a breeze 🌬️💨
My parents fucked up a lot of things but I'm lucky they gave me pretty good food habits. There was no idle eating from boredom. You don't have a snack if it's almost dinner time. Chips are rare. Candy is basically holidays.
