2. Drink hot water
3. Eat unproccessed foods
4. Bed early,up early
5. Exercises that don't stress the body and focuses a lot on breathing (Tai Chi, walking, and yoga are great
These are all the things that are working well for me! That as well as smaller normal portions 0 -

I didn't say I was superior, that's your perception. I've eaten 2500 to 3000 calories and lost and maintained weight with minimal exercise. A lot of people aren't willing to do that, and at first I was scared to do it as well but if your only eating natural plant based foods, when it comes down to it, you don't have to have a calorie deficit.
I have a couple 250+ lb vegetarian/vegan friends who would heavily disagree with that statement.
Just because they are vegan means there healthy. I'm talking about natural plant based foods...not from a package. If you eat foods such as fruit, veggies, nuts, and such.
You can still over eat on those foods and gain weight.
Have you tried it? for and extended period of time and truly 100%? It really does work.0 -

Yup. And its not just a "I have good metabolism" because when I was in my teens I ate the typical weight loss diet of lean meat, yogurt, and some fruits and veggies with a calorie deficit and I was never over weight but I weighed more than I do now.

You can say that all you want but you never actually know until you try. I thought it sounded absurd at first but instead of declaring it magic I actually tried it and it worked. I found out for myself.

Just no. And no I will not try it because I am losing a decent amount of weight eating what I want (minus the foods I have anaphylactic reactions to). Why would I want to change that and end up gaining weight (which is what will happen if I eat excess calories, regardless of where those calories come from)?0 -

Plant based food is food that comes from plants in its most natural form. No animal products. Just a piece of fruit or a potato.

I'm sorry, but this is just false. You weren't counting calories properly. It's just not how the science works. Perhaps someone can post some good reading for you.0 -

2. Jogging (this is a big one for me because the weight just starts melting off)
3. Low sodium- below 800
4. Smoothie every morning for breakfast
5. Double up on cardio- morning and at night
i don't see calorie deficit listed anywhere…
why no animal products??? LOL0 -

I know people who tried. I know several people who gave up all meat and dairy in an effort to lose weight, and most of them lost nothing. One even gained weight.

Really guys? That is boring. Enjoy your boring calorie deficit life style, but saying that isnt helpful to people starting out.
How about...
1. Cardio, sweat your butt off!
2. Eat clean fresh fruit and veggies with every meal and snack
3. skip the high calorie drinks and enjoy a clod glass of water with some lemon or other fruit in it instead
4. get proper sleep so you have the energy to be more active, so you can burn more calories through out the day
5. The best exercise is the kind that doesnt feel like exercise. So sports, dancing, hikng etc.
how about ignore the clean eating drivel and everything else you said except for exercise….0 -

You can't tell me that I was doing something wrong. I know how to count calories. I have a scale and I can do math. And if you look at all the things in the past the "science" has proven and then we find out it was wrong or there is some new better way, you can be open minded to other things. Plus trying something for yourself is always the best way before you judge it. And I know how to research, I have my degree in psychology and have been trained to find and analyze scientific articles.

So then you’re saying you’re an outlier who defies the basic science of calories in/calories out, and everyone else can be an outlier as well?0 -
