what I wouldn't give for there to be a real "one weird trick" just something I don't care how dumb it makes you look is as long as it beats normal calorie restriction by a good margin

I believe that's called "Ozempic."

Its so simple.

That all consuming voice that says feed me, all day.

It quiets it.

Yup. It works. It just makes you not want to constantly cram food in your mouth.

The only problem is if you stop it. Oh my god the hunger urges come back twice as strong. Unstoppable food rampage urges...

I bet there is one for you! The problem is that every person is in a different place with their diet, physical, and mental health, so the one weird trick that works for one person may not work for someone else. It might not even work for the same person later in their life!

When I was younger my trick was to only eat when I’m hungry. I worked at a pizza place where I could make and eat food whenever it wasn’t busy, so I could eat earlier or later in the day depending on how hungry I was. That doesn’t work as well now that I’m in an office position and have to eat on a regular schedule.

Change your physical and social environment. Move somewhere where everyone walks and rides bikes and plays sports. Hang out with people who eat healthy food and take care of themselves. Your brain will come to see these behaviors as normal and desireable, and the weight will naturally come off.

Intermittent fasting only works when paired with fiber heavy food that fills you up before to just destroy the calory limit because "it's my only dish of the day" sort of mentality
