find out what your natural bodytype is....or which you are closest to
once you have an idea about that, you can figure out what % bodyfat you can REALISTICALLY achieve and maintain
workout consistently..cardio and strength...limit your fat intake to a certain % of the calories you consume
eat multiple smaller meals throughout the day.....rather than 3 big ones
The fitness industry makes most of its money by convincing people that things are more complicated than they really are.

My advice is almost the exact opposite of @Get These Nets but the good thing about fitness is just about everything works if you commit to it. Nothing works if you don't. The difference between one thing that works and another thing that works is how efficient is it. some things work faster than others.

Lift heavy. Do interval cardio like sprinting, HIIT, etc. Cut out carbohydrates, up protein intake, and drink a ton of water. Also you should be eating greens on a daily basis.

Eat less carbs and sodium as they attract water (or carb load) combined with cardio. Do HIIT twice/three a week for 10-20 minutes.
You must eat enough protein to maintain it so if you are cutting DO NOT restrict your calories in place of consuming less protein as you'll lose your mass.

Not sure how lean everyone else got but here is where I got to last year.....
What worked for me?
What didn't work?
For me cardio seemed to be the key, not really macro balance. Cardio makes up for your metabolism slowing down, and the added bloodflow taps into stubborn fat reserves. Just keep it LISS and try and keep it at least 5 or so hours separate from lifting.
But there's no magic bullet or cheat code.... get in a deficit, do cardio on top of that, balance your macros to whatever feels best, keep lifting
What worked for me?
- shyt load of cardio (like damn near 4 hours a week)
- Water, veggies etc (keep the belly full)
What didn't work?
- Dropping carbs (I kept them high, half of my calories)
- Increasing protein a lot (I kept them relatively low, like 0.8g/lb)
- Lifting heavy (I mean I stayed on the same split, but I replaced the low rep high weight stuff with high rep "medium" weight stuff... in a deficit you don't have the recovery for heavy lifting. Doing that definitely helped me continue to make gains)
- Decreasing sodium (you need electrolytes to lift... just keep it balanced with potassium and magnesium)

Etc... I dropped as much as 21lbs and was losing as fast as 1.5-2lb a week. Averaged like 1.3 I think.

All of this is super inspiring! I’ve generally been in the 180 range most of my adult life but stepped on a scale this past weekend and almost fell over when I saw 205. gotta get outta Chick-fil-A and back in my running shoes. Leafy greens eeryday and hella water. I got a gym right in the building I just moved into but was scared to pay the monthly without really being in the habit of going. I’m ready to commit cause last few weeks been really feeling like a new level of flabby.
