I see a lot of people mentioning counting calories and I've never had success doing that. I stick with Tim Ferris's 4 hour body method of only consuming meat beans and vegetables and getting the 1 cheat day or meal. There are a few other rules like eating 20g of protein right when you wake up, but I can't recommend his book enough to people that are struggling with losing weight. The biggest thing about his book is it makes you understand your body fat percentage and gives you more ways to measure weight loss than just what the scale says, which can be deceiving. Anyways, different things will work for different people, but everything takes time to adjust.
