So what are tried and true ways to lose weight. I know eating less/healthier and exercise is important but any other things to speed up fat destruction?

I read that Glucomannan is a great supplement to keep you satiated longer and acts like fiber.

Go to the bank and get $10 worth of pennies

Dump all the pennies on the loving floor

Remain upright, squat down and pick up all the pennies one by one every day

Do this but squat to pick up the pennies. Just slav squat all the way down. Don't bend your back!

Start eating whole bricks of butter and bacon but no veggies or sugar in any form. When your skinny body exudes yellowish grease and your cholesterol levels are comparable to a 50 year old trucker, you have finally become healthy and thin.

This one is a good one that involves pennies:

"I've been sticking $30 in pennies up my rear end for the past 11 years! That's 3,000 pennies a day; 21,000 pennies a week; 1,092,000 pennies a year! To date that's 12,012,000 pennies, 8 times the population of Nebraska. Those pennies were in my rear end! You think you're better than me? Oh, you're not better than me. You handle my rear end pennies everyday. You pick up my rear end pennies for good luck. You throw my rear end pennies in fountains and make wishes on them. You give my rear end pennies to your little daughter to buy gumballs with."

It may help you feel better about yourself which could in turn help you lose weight.

Fat loss (because that's really what you're aiming for) is 90% diet and 10% everything else. Exercise is important, but you will not lose weight through exercise alone. You must change your diet or you're just going to chase your tail forever.

Ignore people who say weight loss is A) easy, or B) impossible. They are both almost certainly wrong for you. There is a relatively small percentage of people on the A end, and a vanishingly small percentage of people on the B end. Losing 20 pounds is pretty easy for just about everybody. For the vast majority of people, significant weight loss is difficult, but doable.

Drink water, eat whole foods, get lots of fiber, track your calories in/out. It will take some time for you to learn how to do this. Be patient.

Long-term weight loss is NOT about willpower, it's about building good habits. You will need some willpower to get started, but use that willpower to build up the habits of tracking your calories and staying within your limits, and those habits will carry you the rest of the way.

Credentials: used to weigh 330 lbs, now weigh 220 lbs. Down from "obese" to "overweight" and been in that category for roughly four years.

edit: this is the coles notes version, will add more later.

I would drink whisky every night and cut down on no whiskey all weekdays. And not a lot on weekends of any. I think it will help too.

I legit lost 80 lbs last year. I have a few pieces of real advice. I apologize in advance for being inconsiderate to GBS "no serious allowed" policy. I eat ice cream every. single. day. I buy my favorite, most ridiculous, least healthy, most fatty and sweet frozen milk product available. I only eat a scoop at a time. Don't ever give up food you like, ration and enjoy it. Look into what nutrition facts mean individually, and how they will affect you. Fat is not the enemy of weight loss, that's pretty much always been a lie. Eat carbs, but watch them. Remember that you can only turn so many carbs into usable energy per day before you have to store it as fat. Don't forget that alcohol can be processed like carbs. I used to have some to lots of alcohol every day, and now I drink a beer twice a week.
Lastly and most importantly, do a real accounting of everything you've ingested in a day once in a while. Really count everything, every snack or treat adds up.

Edit: oh yeah, exercise alone won't help, but it will help your diet by changing your metabolism slightly

I've been wanting to try intermittent fasting where you only eat in an 8 hour span of the day and water or non-caloric beverages for the other 16. Seems pretty effective, especially if you're the type of fatty that eats moderately and isn't scarfing down whole pizzas dipped in ranch.

I've been doing 16/8 fasting since the start of the year after hitting something of a roadblock on my last 10 or so pounds. I'm not sure if there's any real science behind the whole thing, but what it has done is make it easier to keep eating at a calorie deficit since there's a strict "no snacking after these hours" component to it.

u lightweights couldn't even feed my shadow ;*
eat balanced meals, don't binge eat one or two meals through-out the day. your digestive system doesn't like that i think.
just straight up cut sugary drinks. they're loaded w/ sugar and never good for u
greens are good for u, they give u the vitamins n poo poo and you can eat a lot of them
some fats are good, some fats are bad. idk which is which but peanut butter has the good ones. JUST SLATHER YOUR GULLET WITH IT, PIG
sleep like a normie; poor sleep scheduling messes with your digestion and appetite iirc
exercise duh, but make sure to have protein so you don't prolong the resting period or cause damage
vitamin supplements can be okay, but they need to reconcile what you aren't eating. don't just take them, you'll risk vitamin poisoning
don't cut carbs completely unless you're running a specific diet (keto or something?) your brain loves them and they're more energy-efficient than fat iirc
