Obviously having discipline, exercising and not eating junk food is a big part of it, and for many people that would be enough. What Exist helped me with on this was keeping me motivated over a period of time and helping me identify other things that were / are impacting my progress (e.g. sleep, work etc). Clearly its not for everyone - but it is certainly something that I value, and something that has helped me.

Oh, I forgot about sleeping. Indeed it's the paramount and it's the most difficult part. Sleep at least 7hrs per day, use the ear plugs and the sleeping mask, don't take sleeping pills and stay away from taking melatonin in capsules. Stop drinking liquids at least 2 hrs before going to bed. Use the anatomic mattress and pillow.

Even water? What if you're thirsty? Any sources?

To me it's just stop eating AND drinking at least 2 hrs before going to bed. My most reliable source is "burn the fat feed the muscle" book that helped me to endorse the healthy way of living this life...Here is the quote:

"I strongly recommend moving the last intake for the day as far away from bedtime as you can. 3-4 hours is ideal, but at least 2-3. This increases the length of the "fast" which in reality nighttime is - broken by breakfast. Using this method consistently is one of the most effective ways to lower body fat - and it doesn’t take a lot of effort"
