Any tips for fast weight loss ?

welcome

My number 1 suggestion is to not start off with so many changes and extremes that you set yourself up to fail. Find physical activity you ENJOY and are likely to keep doing for physical health but weight loss is mostly all done in the kitchen (or rather, what you put in your mouth).

on the same line of thought, don't try to go to extreme with eating too little and not eating any of the foods you like opting only for what you consider "diet food". again this can set up for binges and failure over time. set a reasonable rate of loss you can maintain and don't feel starving on.

Lastly - eating healthy isn't an all or nothing thing and try to avoid labeling food good VS bad. I like the 80-20 rules where 80% (ish) of hte time you eat good solid "healthy" foods but it's also totally ok for 20% (ish) to be total useful but yummy food.

Here are some great posts to read to get you started.

Fast weight loss is generally not sustainable. The recommendation is to not exceed a 1,000 calorie deficit which is the equivalent of a 2lb per week weight loss. And this is assuming that you have 50+lbs to lose, if you have less than that, you may want to consider a smaller deficit. Weight loss is not a race.

The faster you go the faster you fail or end up in the hospital.

Weight loss takes time. It is better to find something that you feel comfortable doing so that you are not mentally trying to rush through it.

Log food. Take a walk. Get some sleep. Focus on good nutrition.

Do that for a lot of days in a row.

Fast weight loss is not a good idea.

My quick tip is to switch to consistent gradual weight loss. Give yourself modest weekly goals to maintain motivation.
