Consistency is the #1 part.

Do whatever it takes to turn any form of exercise into a game, challenge, or fun.

Going strict keto (<20g net carbs a day) was fun for me too and allowed me to have a single metric to focus on reducing.

I lost 40+ lbs over 2 years due to a combo of fun outdoor activities, changing things up when I got bored, and finding others who would always show up which guilted me into being consistent.

Intermittent fasting became easy and enjoyable and gave me the perfect excuse not to eat shitty airplane/airport food and as a reward, I'd get a nice dinner or meal instead.
