Any diet book can help you lose weight, but keeping the weight off is the real challenge. Most people gain back more weight than they lose after ending a diet.

As someone who went from 100kg to 85kg, I know how challenging it is to maintain a lower body weight because there isn't a day that my body doesn't fight me to try and get back to being overweight again.

The important thing is to build good eating habits, setup your environment properly, and ensure adequate physical activity. Some people might need drugs like Ozempic to make any progress, but it's a lifelong commitment.
