What is your opinion, if there was a program (maybe app) where you input your weight, how much you want to lose, and within how many months. The program (app) will then calculate your calorie deficit needs and provide loads of meal plans, meals, recipes, videos, etc. Doing most of the work for you. Do you think people would be interested?

- eat real food. Avoid the central aisles and frozen food sections in the grocery store.
- get rid of your big dinner plates and replace them with smaller plates.
- always eat veggies with every meal
- always add veggies to the plate first.
- micro-fast after exercise : refrain from any caloric intake for up to three hours after exercise. The longer the better.

If it was made super simple, it's bound to be a success. But I think it would need to show how to eat less and how much to move more, not only keeping track on calories, that's too abstract.
Honestly, I believe that Yoga and Tai Chi are the best weight loss exercises - just learn to understand what the body wants and what it needs to feel good and healthy. Self-awareness and body awareness. I sincerely believe that this is what people need most of all.

What if this person is your wife/girlfriend/s.o./teenage child/mother/mother-in-law and is a more "normal" person with respect to body/fitness activities? You may or may not say HTFU etc etc. Just depends on the relationship I guess. Probably you will only give one "easy" tip in some nice way, or just provide positive reinforcement.
It also doesn't work for countless Americans. The "weight loss industry" kind of thrives on the fact that all these people don't really change their behavior. Which does seem ridiculous to a bunch of us here, but it's just an observable phenomenon. We know what they should all do, theoretically, but we can't make them do it or help all of them to do it. Unless you want to turn into Richard Simmons or something.
