I've lost 15Kg in around 3 months. All I needed to do was stop eating all the time and stop eating a lot. I also stopped eating anything with very high caloric content.
I had been going to the gym for 2 years before that and no signs of losing weight... once I reduced the amount of food and calories I was ingesting, surprise: quick weight loss.
Your weight is a function of your diet and the amount of physical activity you perform. The problem is that when you increase the amount of physical activity you do, you unconsciously also increase calories intake.... very hard to not do that. It's a psychological problem: just accept that being hungry is fine sometimes. You don't need to have your belly full all the time. Go to bed hungry! With time, you learn that you won't even feel hungry anymore and consequently you lose weight... up to the point where your weight reflect your new calories intake again... I stopped at 75Kg exactly, and it just goes a few 100's grams up/down but I am happy with that (started off at nearly 90Kg).
Sadly true we need very little food to live, which in the wild or if you are broke, is very good news, I know this for a fact, it is mainly about eating less, and I am still overweight ..
When I was a kid I smoked more than I eat, but I never starved.
One of my own kids lived a lot of his young life on chicken nuggets and crisps, he still grew taller than me.
Congrats on the loss! Just wondering did you notice a decrease in your energy levels, either during gym workouts or just more generally through the day?
