Weight loss works on two levels: the surface level of calories and metabolism, and a deeper level about genuinely wanting to be thin. You can't force it with diets or drugs. The real shift happens when you flip your internal "FAT switch" by actually desiring thinness, not just disciplining yourself into it.

The weight loss law. There are two levels at which you can look at weight loss. Most people are looking at the first level, the level of your metabolism, calorie intake, calorie outtake, and the medications and all that. All these ideas operate upon the same premise that somehow you have a drug, you cut it open, your discipline, whatever it is, will help you to lose weight. That's where all the research is, and that's what everyone is anyways focused on. But as you know that there is a higher and a much more relevant level to your weight loss, and this is the level that your body is— that is your ideal body weight. The problem is that things that force your body to be the same, to force your body to be thin, is not going to work. In fact, they are usually in the opposite effect. If you want to lose— if you want your body to lose sustainably and be done with diets forever, you simply have to— got to want to lose your— lose that weight. You have to want to get those results, and only when you want it will you actually get that. Your FAT switch will be off. So comment in the comments below that you— I just write there, I want to be thin.
