How to lose weight?

[TheWizard]

I installed the mod that shows nutrition numbers, and it reads ( top to bottom ) -2200, -500, -500 and has for a few hours. I still have not lost a pound. What gives? More importantly how do I get it to start dropping?

Thanks!

Weight loss isn't about starving yourself. You're meant to not go above your 2000 calorie and other nutritional limits, I.E by not eating junk food like canned corned beef or entire boxes of cereal, which fill you up on the short term but give you a glut of calories in the long term that'll cause you to gain weight when you eat later at the end of the day.

Weight loss comes naturally when all the good food runs out. When you're living off of fish, forest, farm and trapping based food and running around constantly to keep it coming, you won't be able to support your waistline with the healthy food and high exercise, lol. Eventually, you might even find it hard to gain weight at all, let alone keep it on you.

Just make sure you hit your nutrition targets and keep moving, basically.

I wouldn't use mods that show nutritional values, there's already a trait for that. Just go sandbox mode and give yourself 4 extra starting trait points and get the 'Nutritionist' trait.

To lose weight you need to eat less fat and carbohydrates heavy foods, no need to starve yourself. Weight loss won't happen until 1-2 days of not eating fat and carb heavy foods.

You can jump inside/out a window to lose weight but you need to do it a LOT.

The same way you do in real life. Dont eat junkfood and as a minimum be 'peckish' at all times

just dont eat drin anything with more than 300-400 cals and you should be good after few days in loosing weight.

I suggest exercise. Do laps around your safehouse every game day for like an hour. You will lose weight and gain fitness. Unless they changed how this stuff works significantly since I last played it should knock you down to fit in a couple days or so

Just like IRL...Limit calories intake and increase calories expanse

Starving, exercise and physical activities, low calories food (almost all vegetables...)
Avoid high calories food...junk food, almost everything packaged

Dont fill hunger bar...
Just eat 1/4 of low calories food when you start to be (really) hungry
Cooked low calories food (fruit / vegetables only...) is even better as it fills more hunger for just as low calories...which is exactly what you want...

You want the arrow nearby the character weight down at all times
Also, it takes time...dont expect to go from Obese to Normal in a week...

Thanks, I think I was just impatient from the replies. I am eating 90% berry salads and fairly active with running-sprinting, estimate running at 50% of the time, sprinting 10%. The arrow is pointed down. That nutrition mod doesn't really seem to indicate much worth noting.

Losing weight is fairly realistic, takes a month to loose 10kg
