If you want to lose fat, quit taking in fat. Obviously you have to burn more calories than you take in, and exercise helps- but don't starve yourself. Eating too LITTLE is also detrimental to fat loss. Eat fewer simple sugars. Cutting out pop is a good start, but try eating less baked goods, less chips and chocolate. Try putting more fish in your diet- tuna is tasty, reasonably cheap and low-calorie and can be made into sandwiches and salads, and there's a gorillion ways to prepare other tasty fish like salmon. It'll ramp up your protein intake while dropping fat intake, in addition to providing you with necessary fatty acids. Remember to lift your weights, too. There's no one particular diet. Just make sure you read the nutrition labels and watch that you're not taking in a lot of fat and simple sugars. If there is fat- and you do need to eat some- make sure it's unsaturated. Make sure the ingredients are all things that you can pronounce on the first try and understand without muttering anything about derivation from Latin. The guide gave me a good rule of thumb- if you couldn't make it at home, don't eat it. In fact, make your own food as much as you can. That way, you know what's in it every step of the way. It's healthier, provides peace of mind, and is a skill you need to function in life regardless. Lastly, keep in mind that getting fit is a lot like learning to play an instrument. Getting the basics and a reasonable level of proficiency is easy. But as you get better and better, each improvement becomes smaller and more difficult to achieve. I am 5'8" and 225lbs, at the start of my journey to physical wellness, where you are much closer to a good weight from the sounds of it. I will lose fat far faster than you because my fat, given there's a lot of it, is more expendable than yours. Try upping the intensity of your workouts, but remember not to hurt yourself, okay?

>being this stupid to not know what calorie counting is

Hey man, I know a lot of people missed it due to fataracts or whatever, but there's a dinosaur on the front page of /fit/. He's pretty hard to miss normally but if you can't see past your own eyelids it might be a problem. Go look for him and try clicking on him.
>No, he's not edible.

ive been eating about 1000 calories a day for two weeks and have lost literally no weight.

>1000 calories a day for two weeks and have lost literally no weight.

That's literally a lie.

>>39894430
you've been eating 1000 calories but snacking on some small things like whole cakes and bags of candy that don't really count because if you don't know how many calories are in something it must have zero calories

>Have one of these threads daily
>/fat/ still believes everyone is lying
Cal in/out doesn't work. It's literally 1900 AD level of science.

Assuming you're a sedentary male of average build, that should put you in a 750 x 14 = 11k calorie deficit, which means roughly 3 pounds. Remember that it's 1000 with three zeroes, not four.

>>39894430
You are counting your calories wrong.
