My secret is not to have food in the house that is irresistible.
I'm retired so keeping temptation far away works for me because I am terrible at diets.

That worked great for me also. Not having stuff I can just snack on and had to actually cook from scratch also made a huge difference.

Most I know are still hoping for that magic pill so they can eat all/anything they want. If it is not easy it isn't going to happen.

For well over 30 years I've had an intense exercise program, but I was always heavy set because I ate everything that I wanted (everything!). Just recently I changed my diet and now the weight is falling off and I am keeping a lot of muscle from the decades of exercising. Why? It's simple I just stay under the recommended daily calorie intake for a grown man, and I still exercise the same. There's no pills, no gimmick diet, no quick fixes. Diet is #1!!

Though, I am embarrassed that it took me decades to come to this easy conclusion.

Haven't found a "secret" to it yet. I know what I need to do, it's just doing it is the problem.

Lost a little over 30lbs a year ago (goal was 50) and put 12lbs back on over the winter. And am struggling to get that off this spring, so far.

I'd like to think that it's an AI looking for the answer for "What is the secret to lose weight?"

I do note that if one Googles the phrase in the title, the first hit is to a web site for a horse nutritional supplement company.

Input less than output.
