Maybe read up on the 4:3 diet , or rather ....eating plan .
Yogis around the world have been doing this for centuries.
My mum who is in her eighties has tried EVERYTHING!...and was at the point if losing her mobility....and now...she's hooked .
She lost the weight, but still, (in general) eats this way (but uses her fast days to just drink fluids).
And yes ....she sometimes cheats.
But uts still working for her.
And she can't exercise at all.
Fasting or low calorie controlled eating eventually makes your metabolism slow down .....and you plateau.
But this intermittent fasting means your body can't adapt .
So it keeps your metabolism shifting ....and burning.
And for my mum to have such success is amazing .
She's dieted in and off for 60 years .
And this is the only one she has had permanent success with .
Good luck. 馃

@BoobooSnafu I look into it, thanks!
@Lilliesandlight from some one who has used so many diets, I've found fasting, or just keeping to liquids for a day is easier.
Most other diets have you obsessing about the rules of food you're under .
Where as fasting ...the idea is you just stop any thought of food for that day.
And this is actually the great part ....learning to NOT think of food is the change.
On fast days ....I may walk into the kitchen over 10 times ....but then I remember, and just go "No: not today" and I either walk out , have a glass of water, or , if the urge is bad ....find something else to do .
Other diets like weight watchers, or calorie counting don't create good habits . They either compensate, or make you obsess on food even more .
And fasting has proved to be good for health.
It gives your digestive tract time to recover....to heal if needed .
I really hope you find something that works.
