How to lose fat properly?

Losing weight is 80% diet, 20% exercise. The core to any diet is CICO (Calories In, Calories Out). Eat less calories than you burn, and you will lose weight. Calculate your TDEE and track every calorie you consume. Your daily calorie deficit should be around 750. Look on /r/fitness for more details.

PS - Water fasting can be dangerous. It dehydrates your body. Zero calories in water.

Caloric deficit + cardio = fat loss.

I would recommend intermittent fasting. It's pretty easy to move into after a water fast.

H.I.I.T. is a great, but just don't believe all the broscience about it. Doing it fasted will burn some extra fat tho.

Those 3 pounds is most likely just water weight, imo water fasting is only worth if you go 14-30 days. I went down 25kg/55lbs on my 30d water fast this winter.

I would really avoid water fasting, juice cleanses, and all those other gimmicky “lose weight fast” approaches. They’re unsafe, horrible for your body, and you’re just going to gain weight back as soon as you eat normally again.

I’d recommend a Paleo approach with heavy protein intake if you’re lifting weights, or a Keto approach if you’re sticking mainly to cardio. Just keep in mind that something like Keto is mainly focused on fat loss and can be tough to gain muscle on, mainly due to the fact that only 25% of your caloric intake is protein. A Keto/HIIT approach is going to give you a runners body.

Keto helped me out a lot

When I signed up to the gym I had a buddy introduce me to a professional dietitian who provides me with a program and psychological support. Just putting my 2 cents, you don't have to do that shit alone. You can try but if you see bad results, dietitians are a thing.
