Can You Lose Weight While Simply Eating Less

I know it sounds simple and I'm sure the answer is yes...but, will the results be good. I'm staying with the rents to study for the upcoming bar exam in late July.

I plan to workout and try to lose some weight during this period. Problem is that I am broke and do not plan to work during this time. This means that I won't be as able to buy healthy foods. If I just workout/cardio and portion control can I still lose a pound per week? I really want to get down to 217-220 before my birthday in mid July,

I mean right now I drink so much soda and eat junk food. I would imagine simply cutting those out would do wonders?

If you go with Intermittent Fasting, then yes (you can lose a pound a week)

You can also do it without the Intermittent Fasting part.

Of course. Eat less, move more. That's all there is to it.

just balancing your diet alone and cutting out those junk foods and sodas will take you a long way eventually however you will need a solid workout routine to see the best results but you are correct to a certain extent diet alone will make you lose weight simply because you arnt recieving enough calories to sustain that weight anymore

I'm sure you will be able to lose weight by eating less as long as you watch what you eat. Fruits and vegetables are not as expensive as most junk foods so I would suggest you include as many of them in your diet as possible. Choose whole wheat breads and pastas and try to avoid packaged convenience foods which are expensive and loaded with sodium. You should also keep yourself moving - do as much walking as you can - try to work yourself up to 10,000 steps a day. It's a cheap activity and you will definitely feel better afterwards which will help you in your studies. Drink water instead of soda. You don't have to rich to lose weight effectively.
