What is the good way to start if someone wants to lose weight?

Always start with "WHY"

To stick to the rules, you have to have a strong idea of why you want to do it.

Then you have to think about "HOW"

You are probably aware that almost every person who's lost or is losing weight has their own idea in this area. So talk to your physician, dietitian, etc., and have a clear idea of what the dos and don'ts are.

Then we have the most important "HOW TO STAY ON TRACK?"

It's a tricky one... For me, it was strictly related to "WHY". Every time I was tired of the effort and not visible results (for the record, not visible for me only), I checked why am I doing it to myself. And it helped.

Meal Plans.

Calorie tracking

Could also do intermittent fasting

AND EXERCISE...

Wake up in the morning, put your shoes on and go for a walk for 30 minutes to an hour. Come home take a shower, eat a bowl of oatmeal and have a cup of black coffee, then go to work. Work through lunch without eating. Come home and eat whatever the fuck you want for dinner. Do that every day. You'll drop at least 50-60 LB in a year.

The walking in the morning after a long fast from sleeping with burn through your glycogen reserves and dip into your fat every morning. Walking will boost your metabolism and help regulate your appetite. You will improve cardiovascular health and muscle tone in legs. Oatmeal is low calorie, but high in fiber. It makes you feel full. It also balances your blood sugar after a long walk. This will give your brain the carbohydrates it needs to operate for the day. Over time oatmeal will drop your cholesterol which helps to manage that "eat whatever the fuck you want" dinner. Skipping lunch means your body has to run mostly on fat through the day. A big meal of whatever you desire at the end of the day is like a prize for completing the day. You are rewarded with eating anything. That leaves you psychologically content to cut stress after a long day. You will sleep well on a full stomach. Even large meals at restaurants tend to be only like 1200 calories, so you should be calorie deficient at the end of every day.

Eat less... cut down your calories and cut down junk and sugary foods

Determine the result you seek.
Develop a plan (target heart rate, types of exercise, proper fueling)

Go for it!

Cut out sugar. Cut out 10% sugar a week and long before you get to 100% you will have already lost a lot of weight.
