Interval fasting.
The good news is that exercise isn’t good for losing fat anyway!
It’s all about diet.
Counterpoint: you can’t live any sort of halfway decent life “without exercise”
Different question though.
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.
Weight loss starts in the kitchen.
Get really sick. Cancer will often do it. A broken thyroid. There are a number of GI disorders too.
Depression with loss of appetite is how I did it
Too much dopamine in food I can’t quit
Except if you are the overeating type of depressed person.

Calorie Deficit

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.
This is my experience.
Why can’t you exercise?
Cuz its time consuming
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.
the best way to make it stick is to take it slowly. Become more aware of the food choices you make - a food log is helpful here - without necessarily looking to correct them first. Just note the times when you think about food, the times you’re able to eat healthy and smaller portions and the times when it’s harder. Then try and inject some alternatives, make healthier options available for yourself at home, and gradually move your food decisions toward more nutritious food and smaller portions of comfort food.
Even then, thinking in nutrition has moved on from eliminating “bad foods” to eating “good foods” first, and finding a level of moderation with less nutritious food that fits with your goals.
“Stop eating” diets and “fast weight loss” as a primary goal are very good ways to sabotage yourself in the long term. The psychological costs of very restrictive diets are real and lead to losing adherence down the road. Maybe it works for some but the more gradual choice-focused approach worked a lot better for me. Just do what you’re capable of day to day, always trying to push that needle a little further, and you might be surprised at how fast noticeable progress comes!
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?
Surgery
Removing a leg can help you lose 10 to 20 kg of weight with very little effort.
TAPEWORM
Partner had one once.
Can confirm it works, bit takes awhile to really get going.
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.
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, HEYUsed 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.
Lol
Dear God, there’s people who would legitimately rather have a big disgusting worm in their gut than diet and move around a bit?
And then feel it wiggle out at the end?

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.
This 100%.
Followed by drinking ditch water and getting dysentery.
Intermittent fasting.
Like any form of weight-loss the real mechanism is a calorie deficit, but intermittent fasting makes that really easy for some people. I lost like 30lbs in six months. Takes a bit to kick in but then goes pretty quickly.
Unfortunately, losing weight is a long journey. People who are very overweight have more fat cells than others (because those cells divide when they get big enough) and those fat cells WANT to hold onto fat. And they’ll release hormones to achieve that goal. So your body will desperately be calling for you to overeat.
This is part of why weight-loss tends to be a spiky line for people. I gained back all of the IF weight I lost, and then some. Still below my highest recorded weight by a good 20lbs, but I’m just now getting back on the IF horse, hoping to make better progress this time.
