Losing weight isn't easy, but it is simple: I ate just one normal-sized meal a day for the last six weeks, and I've lost 7kg. First two weeks were hard, but it was quite easy after that. Going somewhere unfamiliar made it easier to break old, bad eating habits. Ask me anything.
I have been doing a bit of both strength and cardio, but it's not been intense. The biggest benefit seems to have been the smaller appetite developed in the first fortnight, which means I don't feel like eating more than I do...
