Ask HN: Any weird tips for weight loss?
Just eat less. Much less. And don&#x27;t drink alcohol, juice, milk, ice tea, or soft drinks. Drink water.<p>My suggestion:<p>Skip breakfast. Take a cup of black coffee.<p>A lunch consisting of a salat made of half a cucumber and a medium sizes tomato and either 1) a can of tuna (in brine, not oil) or 2) smoked salmon (100 gram), will make you quite full without adding more than 200 calories.<p>Afternoon snack: Lots of chewing gum is a great way to feel full.<p>Eat a normal dinner. One portion. Why dinner? Because that&#x27;s usually the social meal and usually the hardest meal to skip. Look at what skinny people are eating if you wonder what a normal potion is. Don&#x27;t eat two portions. Don&#x27;t eat dessert.<p>If you want a drink after dinner, drink carbonated water (club soda) in a nice glass with ice cubes.<p>Do this, and you will lose around 1 kg per week, give or take. It may sound slow, but it&#x27;s actually about as fast as it gets and after 2-3 weeks you will notice the results.<p>It will speed up the process a bit if you walk 1-2 hours a day and exercise 2-3 times a week, but it&#x27;s really not required. Reducing calorie intake is key.
