Help Trying to lose weight, but get tired quickly

[nonliv]

What do I do if I get tired quickly. I'm getting fatter by the day and I feel like a pig. What do I do? I have basically no energy to run or anything. Would starving give me results?

Try intermittent fasting works faster but again it needs someone to do it with that way it's easier. I have tried it did it for about a week lost the motivation but lost about 3kgs then gained another 12 when I stopped.

getting the motivation to actually help yourself is very, very difficult and i'm sure no one blames you for that part. i'd argue that it's the hardest part of weight loss. its like very simple in theory, the only two things you can do to help yourself are to eat less and be more physically active. the process of actually losing weight is very slow, and you shouldn't expect massive change to happen overnight. this web page may help you more: https://thefitness.wiki/weight-loss-101/

Strength training is easier than pure cardio in my opinion, and increased muscle mass uses up more calories = at a certain point, you could eat as much as you do now without gaining fat. Walking a lot is also one of the top recommendations for weight loss because it doesn't take a lot of effort + the time you spend walking those steps is the time you aren't eating; not to mention that it burns calories, too.

If your eating is emotional, there's CBT strategies to deal with that urge while avoiding an eating disorder. My personal strat is to recognize that I am not actually feeling hunger in my stomach, that what I'm really craving is dopamine, and that I need to get it some other way.

Also, a lot of people underestimate how calorie-dense their daily foods are. A small snack that you finish in two minutes may be 300 calories. A bag of chips is over 700. Replacing that kind of food with protein-heavy meals that keep you full for hours can cut your caloric intake significantly.

By the way, starving usually results in binges and has an awful effect on your health.

You need to calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). It's not too hard, and it will give you the idea how much energy your body needs just to stay alive. Plus, you can calculate how much energy you spend by walking, doing stuff and so on. After that you should manage your caloric intake and keep it BELOW the number you need to function (BMR + activities). If it's low enough, you'll lose weight. Fasting IS an option, but I wouldn't recommend it unless it's your own personal mean of selfharm. In my case it is. Lost about 20 pounds in three weeks.
HOWEVER — for the first two or three weeks you will lose fat AND water. Most of your lost weight will consist of water. Not fat. And it's okay. Just stay hydrated. And at same point the rate at which you lose your weight will lower — it's fine. Recalculate your BMR and stuff and readjust your caloric intake. Have fun.

Don't sleep on bed workouts. Obviously it's not as good as getting up but for people who can't do physical activity it is a good replacement.

Track your calories and see how many calories you need to eat for your height + weight. Don't starve because it doesn't create lasting results which is disappointing and if it causes extreme health issues because your body needs food to survive.
