Good god

>>What are some legitimately good diets for weight loss?

Eat less food and get more exercise.

Eat twice as many vegetables as normal and half as many things that are not vegetables.

I typed "diets that work" in google to get a random pic and this popped up. I wonder if you shit out a rainbow as well...

Sound logic that.

Hmm, maybe I should give up carbs for a while again. A few years back I was on keto for 6 months and lost a shit ton of weight. Now I need to drop about 20lbs, keto would do that in 2 months.

Eat less (specifically processed shit, things high in sugar or fat and snacks)
Eat more vegetables, fruit and water
Exercise more
That's literally it

So 20lbs BY November 1st is really doable.
You have 12 weeks from today, so you could lose 1.5lbs per week and still be in good shape.

I lost 40lbs in college, so I'll just tell you what I did.
1. Set a calorie limit. 2000/day will maintain the weight of an average person. You want to find your metabolic rate and subtract 500.
2. You can eat whatever you want. The key is to know what has more calories. Drinking your calories (soda, coffee creamer, juice, milk) will eat up a lot of your calories, but won't make you full.
3. Work out once per day 6 times a week. If you're trying to lose weight, focus on 30-45 minutes of light-medium cardio.
4. Don't give yourself more calories just because you're working out. Seriously.
5. Restaurants have so many hidden calories. Most restaurant salads have 1000+ calories. Get items from the "lighter side" menu or make going out to eat the big meal of the day.
6. If you can stop soda, the flavor burst you'll get on a Dr. Pepper after abstaining for 6 months is gonna shoot you to the fucking moon.

Try keto diet its pretty good

usually i eat a mess of spinach and kale and throw caraway seeds and spices on it (cayenne, tumeric, black pepper), lots of olive oil, some cheese

then some fatty cuts of meat, unsweetened almond milk, basically no carbs or sugar

try to get 75% of your calories from fat and the rest from protein

Use myfitnesspal/kitchen scale to track/weigh everything you eat. You can google caloric amounts of any food per gram, and myfitnesspal will give you a TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) automatically for whatever pace of weight loss you want, within a healthy pace for losing it.
Read labels on food carefully, and permit yourself a cheat meal (not a cheat DAY) once every week or two weeks. For exercise, ideally do 200-300 mins of cardio per week. Lifting weights will help (and is a good idea) but isn't necessary.
Things to keep in mind: eyeballing/estimating calories in food is really hard, you can lose weight simply by eating less, and finally, eat your cheat meal, even if you don't want to. Most people don't have an iron will with junk food, and it will prevent you from binging on garbage. Just make sure it isn't over the top.
