I'd advise against cheat days (i.e., eat anything you want days). Stay away from junk altogether and after a few weeks, you won't really miss it.
It takes discipline for a while, but then it becomes second nature.
Best of luck.

Or don't have cheat days and just eat what you want within reasonable quantities :D

Dropping water and losing BF are not relative.

Genetics are genetics.

Increase your lean body mass (muscle) to increase your BMR.

Cheat meals turn into cheats days and you're f'd.

Consistency over time = results.

To me it means staying away from drinks with sugar, calories, unless black coffee?
Not eating processed foods, eating foods at normal times and not at 12am-3am?

It may not be relative in that sense, but it's relative when the only thing you've been drinking is soda.
I'm not sure where the cheat meals are coming from? I haven't said anything about cheat days, I do not like them personally because it only resets your will power to stay away from the junk.

Skip the water resests or whatever ur calling them. Just drink enough water everyday that your urine isn't dark yellow. No need to drown yourself.

Good luck

I've seen people just drop soda entirely and achieve a high percentage of their diet goals. True story.

This and just drink when you're thirsty. And track your macros for one week, and check your BMR so you can see the diffrence. After that you are good to go and know what to improve.

Gonna need to track macros longer than a week. Any real diet starts with tracking macros daily for the length of the diet. It also takes longer than a week to get an accurate BMR. There are plenty "guides" out there but I have yet to see once that is exact.

People underestimate how many calories they drink in the form on sugar. It's crazy
