I think this is relatively weird: Eating only once a day, known as "One Meal a Day" (OMAD).

It's a form of extreme intermittent fasting, but it works quickly and I'd argue it is not painful.

The first 2 weeks are going to be hell coming from a 3 meal lifestyle, especially towards the evening, but your body will adapt and after these 2 weeks, from my experience, I felt completely okay.

The big advantage is that you can eat whatever tasty, unhealthy food you want, but only during a meal and, hopefully, you will still lose a lot weight just because you eat less overall. You still need to be careful about sweets I'd say, if you want to have quicker results. I pretty much also removed sweets from my diet when I started the OMAD "diet", leaving only the occasional exceptions like eating cake at a birthday party.

Another advantage is that you save money!

This might not work for everyone and it most probably isn't (very) healthy, but it's relatively weird and it managed to help me lose weight. I lost about 30 kgs in 8 months with little effort imo.
