While exercise is great if you want to live a long, healthy life, you can’t outrun your diet. Literally all you gotta do is eat fewer calories than you consume, and you will lose weight. That’s all there is to it. (But yes a variety is always better than just eating less of the same thing if you want to be both thin and healthy.) They make calorie counting apps to help you with this.
If you want to get really obsessed you can weigh your food for more accurate calorie numbers, but I’ve found that simply scanning the barcodes on the boxes or taking a picture of the final meal is usually accurate enough (so long as you log every ingredient in the dish).
CICO is real - I don’t think anyone could dispute that in good faith - but it doesn’t exist in a vacuum.
What you’re eating (and what your food is eating) has such a profound impact on how you think and feel. If you’re trying to form an actual food lifestyle for the long run, you at some point have to go beyond calories and look at macro ratios, consider fiber, prebiotics, micronutrients, inflammation etc.
I’ve found avoidance of overprocessed foods allows my body to be healthy on an intuitive eating style diet. I think the core of most people’s problems is they don’t consider just how much of their diets is mouth entertainment causing their brain to rewire food signaling.
The secret to dieting is eat a variety of foods and exercise regularly. Keep your weight in a healthy zone.

Sure you can, but it involves regular long distance triathlons and training for them, not running 2k once a month.
