The biggest secret to losing weight is literally to just be hungry. Once you feel hunger, that's your body telling you that you are running a calorie deficit.
Yeah... At one point I forgot what that feeling was. Was just a weird feeling, "what this?.... Oh wait... Dude this is 'hunger' wtf?!"
Needless to say, I'm overweight again.
