Water fasting!
The big argument for it is that it is the most natural way to lose weight, our ancestors were nomads and had occasional periods or even lengths (think winter) of next to zero caloric intake, in fact, everything good about say a ketogenic diet stems from the natural mechanism of fasting.
Fasting puts the body into a state of mental focus and shifts your body closer to a natural, healthy equilibrium, imagine your body using every tool it has evolved all at once, in fear of impending starvation.
Fasting was so common back then, that many natural mechanisms, like autophagy and even cleansing of the entire system of health, including repair of the immune system, are tied to it, hence modern humans being unhealthier despite constant caloric surplus, even if your diet is good, it's like we only use half the tools in our swiss knife set of tricks for physical and mental excellence.
It also reverses the cells' inner age clock.
tldr; you'll feel like a champion high on confidence, mentally sharp instead of sluggish like from simply eating less, and the health benefits will last you a life time.
protips:
eat only raw, so fruits and vegetables and nuts, etc. plus take minerals and vitamins, at least one week before the fast, so your body can heal, plus thanks to this your digestive system will be cleared and no constipation or sickness feeling during the fast.
this way you can, since you are already healthy, fast for up to 2 weeks, ideally longer, to get rid of all major fat reserves on your body.
feeling of hunger goes away after day three, btw, which is correct from personal experience.
after the fast everything will taste different, cause you basically reset your body and mind, so a great time to adopt a new healthy diet and be able to stick to it for life, since healthy stuff will taste good again like when you were a child.
I compiled every major thing I know, I always recommend a doctor visit for blood work and basic health checks, even to healthy persons like you, since a fast is a sensitive thing to get right, good luck!
