It makes the process 1000x easier because you goto bed every night knowing you're 100% in a calorie deficit.
It basically takes the "guess" work out of it. You no longer ever think "did I eat too much today?" etc.
Of course people have done it without counting, but in my opinion, counting is 100% better. I'm a numbers-fag though. I like tracking all these things.

As long as you eat at a caloric deficit you will lose weight. Counting calories can help make the process easier by keeping track of how much you're eating, but it is not necessary.

Diet (calorie deficit) is all it takes to lose weight.
A more nutritional diet helps you do this more efficiently, exercise helps a little or in the case of building muscle makes your flabby spots not look as bad.
Yes though, counting calories will help you make sure you're at a deficit.
How much weight are we talking?

>26%
>210
If this is true you're honestly not bad off.
Usually at 210s for your height you're talking like 30%+
Recommendation 500 calorie deficit off your TDEE, 1 cheat day weekly, get some cardio in (use a machine if you have to).
You can cut calories as much as you want, but I do not recommend dropping at any point below 1200 calories if you're not sure you could handle the cravings. You'll just end up binging.

Even some small dietary supplements that raise your metabolism by 200 calories can help you lose weight.
Imagine if you actually did sports each day, even something silly like fast walking. Even that would help you to lose weight faster still. Much faster still.
Now imagine if you actually did sports that were heavy in intensity. Something like 600 calories for 1 hour. Those couple of months of eating well could be cut by half.
Only complete lazy faggots dont do sports alongside a caloric deficit.

Nigga, there should be no cheat days, untill you have bad days at the gym for two weeks streight.
And even then it's not a fucking cheat day, it's a cheat meal. At the end of a normal day.

What abount just eating to maintenance once a week? Just as good as a cheat meal?
>>37787254
Counting calories is all you have to do to lose mass
Eating a proper diet and exercising regularly is all you have to do to get in shape
If you're overweight/obese, chances are you don't need to "add" something to your lifestyle to "lose" weight
