      Used to legit be sold for exactly that, but when you got to your ‘ideal weight’ you wrote them for the second set of pills-a dewormer.

      I, cannot disguise,
      all the stomach pains
      and the walking of the cranes
      when you, do come out
      and you whisper up to me
      in your life of tragedy
      But I cannot grow
      till you eat the last of me
      oh when will I be free
      and you, a parasite
      just find another host
      just another fool to roast
      cause you
      my tapeworm tells me what to do
      you
      my tapeworm tells me where to go
      Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY
      Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY
      Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY
      Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY

      Story time! Many years ago I read a Maria Callas biography and I have no idea if this fact is true or not, but here it goes:

      Maria was self conscious about her body image and she wanted, moren than anything, to look as thin as her idol: Audrey Hepburn. So in order to do that, she went to a famous doctor who would give his patients a pill thay contained tape worm eggs so they would hatch and live inside them making them lose weight and then this same doctor would deworm them but plot twist! María loved being thin so much that she decided to keep her tapeworm so she would not gain back any weight. This book said that when she took long baths, the worm would kind of wiggle out a bit due to the warm water and then coil back up inside her when she existed the tub. This piece of info was very disturbing for me.

    Intermittent fasting + keto diet + eating less + constant hydration. If you add some exercise to that, you will see very fast early results. It won’t get you all the way, but a month straight of that and you will easily see fat reduction.

    Get really sick. Cancer will often do it. A broken thyroid. There are a number of GI disorders too.

    If you don’t want medicine then you need to reduce calorie intake. There a bunch of tracking apps out there you can try. Essentially if you burn more calories than you ingest your body will burn fat reserves to make up the difference.

      The tracking aspect also creates a mental barrier for food intake. If snacking is a bit tedious because you need to write it down, there’s a larger chance you really think about eating something or not.

          If someone says, “First things first, I want to sit still all day. Given that, how do I…” then it’s worth calling out their mad constraints.

            It’s not a “counterpoint” to the actual answer though, it’s a sidenote.

            You don’t know their circumstances. I can’t exercise effectively for various medical reasons so (for now) I only do caloric deficit and intermittent fasting. It’s slower than I’d like of course (and slower than OP wants, presumably) but it’s what I can do now.

              Exactly!

              For the last year I’ve been a primary wheelchair user, I can walk a bit but that only gets me to the bathroom. Since then my weight has become a bit of a problem but I’m already doing the maximum exercise I’m capable of. I have dropped 10 over the last few months just by diet, which is less than I would like but it’s what I can do.

              You cant assume the “mad constraints” is just laziness without knowing the full picture. Either answer the question or scroll on, but its cruel to attack someone over what they can’t do.

        You don’t improve quality of life by losing weight ‘quickly’ at all. Steady and sustainable are the only way, and exercise is part of that.

    Is this a serious question?

    Look if you don’t care about your health, you can crash diet, sure, but you’ll lose water weight first, and then will lose muscle alongside the fat, especially if you don’t exercise. You will also feel miserable and will make others feel miserable being around you. And you’ll most likely pack it back on when you quit the diet.

    Lock yourself in a cage with only water. Carefully reintroduce food once you’re out as to not get refeeding syndrome.

    Get a tapeworm, and suffer the other negative effects of it.

    How quickly are we talking? Then we can talk about concrete answers, and strategies to make it work for you specifically. And whats the goal? Temporary (like for a day or 2) or more permanent?

    long answer, many ways, from dangerous diets, uperations, medicine, drugs…

    short answer, no. try to get a healthier lifestyle that will gradually get you to where you want to be. Do you want to be skinnier or do you want to be more active and do stuff you would love to do.

    if it’s just a self image issue, I get that, I really do. but you’ll get there in time
