Weird tricks don't exist. If you want to change your health, that typically requires effort and a change in lifestyle.
For me, I found reading how other people made changes to their lifestyle to improve their health to be motivating. After seeing enough stories about that, eventually I started thinking, why not me? So here's my personal account, should you care.
Personally, once I switched from eating out/ordering DoorDash for my one big meal of the day to cooking all my meals, I began to eat far fewer calories. Turns out the average meal you make at home has fewer calories than a delicious al pastor super burrito or a dutch crunch sub.
I did Hello Fresh for a few weeks, and I appreciated the variety of meals but eventually canceled it because I want more flexibility/spontaneity in my cooking, which is something you lose when you subscribe to a meal plan. Many of the meals left me feeling like I did a damn good job, so I can see myself trying the service again in the future.
I found a very easy breakfast I can make in 15 minutes that I like. 2 slices toast with jam, 2 eggs in a tortilla with cheese and salsa, and 2 pieces of bacon. Before I had always skipped breakfast, leading me to that one big meal a day strategy, which always led to me overeating. My dog appreciates the now frequent bacon in her life (don't worry, she hardly gets any).
I found cooking to be much easier once I got an induction stovetop, because you can see the actual temperature you're cooking with. I always hated the guessing game of turning a gas stove knob, which prevented me from cooking regularly.
At the same time, I've started going to the gym every day, doing a simple linear progression PPL program. I also make a delicious shake every day, which I look forward to after every workout.
Over the last couple months I made these changes and they are now part of my daily routine.
Before, I couldn't really see myself randomly going to the gym or cooking at home. Now that's absolutely flipped- I can't really see myself not doing these things. It's early, but I feel I've done the work to change my habits for good.
And to bring it back to the topic at hand, with these weird tricks of changing my daily defaults my weight is trending down at a rate I'm happy with.
Oh, and I did count calories for like a month, but only to get a feel for how many calories are in the foods I tend to eat, and how my body weight fluctuates based on my intake. I don't any more, at least I don't write it down. It's all just sort of done on my head in a wishy washy way.
