Try not changing your diet, except for trading soda for water, in the beginning. Start doing yoga, once a week. then twice a week. then start jogging daily for 20min, while still doing yoga multiple times per week. The only change to your diet so far should be increased water intake.

Now start eating an apple or an orange, every day. You'll start feeling better, more clear-headed, more emotionally stable. Then see a dietitian, and maybe a personal trainer if your goal is physical fitness. if your goal is just better health, slow changes every day is your best bet.

You have to accept that there is a hard choice between losing weight and eating for comfort. There is no middle ground. You can eat healthily (you know what that means) and lose weight, or eat for comfort and stay at your current weight.

If humans could only survive 3 hours between meals we would have died out long ago. Fasting reduces insulin sensitivity and improves immune function through autophagy. those two basic facts will make you like longer and healthier. It isn't pseudoscience either; Yoshinori Ohsumi was awarded a Nobel prize for his research on fasting. Just stop eating for a bit and you'll be fine. Body fat is food too.

If you struggle with the diet side of things, try exercising more. Ride a bike or pick up a sport maybe if you got friends. Properly balanced diet is a major part of weight loss, but if you aren't burning any calories throughout the day your only choice is to cut everything out which will be very hard. You might find you can maintain at least some level of comfort eating while still approaching the weight you desire by just increasing activity levels.

>fasting
It's very healthy and a great way to encourage weight loss without being hungry all the time. If you find intermittent fasting hard, then try to take out whole days instead. You will stop feeling hungry when your body enters ketosis. The time entering ketosis might be unusually long (1-3 days) for those who haven't been in ketosis for a long time. After a few times your body will learn to enter ketosis faster (8-12h). The health benefits of fasting happens when your body is in ketosis. You can also enter ketosis without fasting by eating food without carbohydrates (ketogenic diet). However, a long term ketogenic diet is not recommended as it will require eating lots of fat to fulfill daily caloric requirements. Fat in general is associated with cardiovascular disease, heart disease and stroke (especially saturated fat).
>weight loss
Diet is a much more potent factor in weight loss than exercise. Different diets with same calorie count can have different effect on weight loss. Your body will not like cutting down on food, and you will feel hungry all the time. In the beginning your body will resist weight loss by becoming more efficient. After a while it will give in and start devouring your fat.
>why I can't stop comfort eating and why do I feel like I need to comforted all the time
Are you eating a lot of simple carbohydrates (sugar) that tends to spike your blood sugar a lot? When blood sugar decreases after such a spike strong cravings (usually for more food that spike blood sugar level) emerge. Avoid foods with lots of simple carbohydrates (sugar). Carbohydrates in general are OK.

Your appetite is based on your history. You're reinforcing it every time you satisfy it. When you cut that eating period down your appetite will adjust to the new schedule and you'll stop feeling hungry over the times you don't eat.

For me it took two days of fasting to do a total reset and then I was able to basically go as long as I liked.

all the above is good and true, but the key point: your body doesn't want to lose weight. it wants to stay the same. the only way to lose weight is to be hungry.

A vegan diet has food with generally less calories per volume food, thus leaving you feeling full with less calories in your stomach. Many people converting to a vegan diet report an initial period of natural weight loss without feeling hungry. A vegan diet is also superior from a nutritional standpoint.

He was awarded a Nobel Prize for his research into the mechanisms of autophagy, not fasting.

fellow comfort eater here. fasting does not work, you will just rebound and binge. There are no easy solutions, I only lost weight when I made more money and recently my business has flatlined and I have gained weight again. I will say that taking up a hobby helps. Focusing on my hobbies takes my mind of wanting to eat.

a human needs something truly good, truly enjoyable to live. For example a girl like pic related, or a girl you love, or both.

Most people dont get a girl like pic related, and they dont get to work in what they like adn they dont get to make the art they like, or even fucking like even state their true mind more than once every month.

and since food is the most common drug then 95% falls for it. Want to leave cravings? have something really really worth it in your life. If not youll always be filling that hoel.

If you lack character to do it by willpower alone, like me, just start counting the calories you eat and ensure you burn more than that if you wanna lose weight.

I got myself an exercise bike and if I ate some snack I just looked at the package of how many calories I consumed then I jumped on the bike and burned it away.
Soon you will realize having to sweat like a pig for 30 minutes for eating something that you gulped down in a minute or two isn't a worthwhile trade.
You'll be 'redpilled' real fast as to what the comfortable option is once you start tracking your intake this way.

As someone that was obese from age 8-22 and lost his weight let me tell you how I did it.

It was extremely easy. I just stopped eating altogether. Yeah no dieting. Just not eat at all.

It only took 2 months of not eating and exclusively drinking water for me to be in the healthy weight range.

The first week is suffering but somehow after a while your body starts switching to burning fat and stops whining. Due to you losing weight you'll actually start to feel better despite of literally starving yourself. You'll start to feel stronger and healthier every day.

It also helps in the fact that your stomach starts shrinking so I was full after only half a meal a day after the 2 month period.

After I was skinny I started to fix my sleeping cycle by setting the alarm clock at 7 AM every single day (even days off) and forcing myself to wake up at that time. After about a year of doing that my body just synced with 7 AM waking time even during the weekends.

After this I started to pack gym clothes with me so that after work I'd always go to the gym for a hour before going into the store. First driving but eventually switching to a bicycle and getting food for the day to cook for me as diner.

I also switched to making my own sandwiches and stuffing them into the freezer to take with me to work. By the time it's lunch time the frozen sandwiches have thawed out and fresh.

I'm 30 now but I look younger than when I was 19 and it genuinely helped in life. People are nicer to me and I make more progress at my job.

It's unfair but people subconsciously genuinely treat you based on your appearance. If you look healthy and outgoing people will perceive you as a nicer person and in turn also treat you better.

Hope you fix yourself anon. The only hard step is starting your journey. I highly recommend starving yourself like this. Because it's easier to not eat anything at all rather than eating a little bit and tempting yourself to "make an exception for the day".

dude exercise for muscle bulk is super quick and efficient. even if you just do it a little. best part about it is just sitting around because moving hurts and its actually the most productive thing you could be doing to make your body heal. Don't fall for the a-holes that say 3 times a day 5 days a week or some shit. Once a day twice a week. onetime legs one time upper body. go for muscle destruction but don't mess up your tendons and shit. muscle burns fat by itself but it will still trigger hunger so drink lots of water or eat fruit. veggies are demoralizing

discipline
feeling well in your own body ->psychology -> health again
you learn to be modest with what you need in order to feel good (in terms of food ofc)
more mobile since you dont carry a shitload of weight ->also easier on the joints.
srsly there are so many aspects why being thin is better than being fat.
One important point is really consumerism and discipline, you just learn to live happily without having to consume something in roder to be happy. ( not everybody does that but people who go from fat to thin/athletic do)

dont listen to this weak willed individual.
The only thing that will make you eat less is realize how much you have to suffer and work (in terms of physical activity - sports) to burn those calories. At first its hard but it will become easier every day and if not day on day then week on week and without realizing it you will have become a healthy man with a healthy habit.

>I can't stop comfort eating and why do I feel like I need to comforted all the time
Do a bit of soul searching,if you're just eating because you are bored find a hobby preferably something social that makes you be active,but if you feel like its depeer than that and became an addiction i would seek help with a mental health professional of the field.
