I have lost 19 pounds in 30 days without exercising or counting calories. All i did was look at the back of the food and beverages i consmed and if it had more than 5 grams of carbs per 100g then i didnt eat it. I also fasted for 72 hours before starting doing that. I still would like to lose another 10 pounds but those are going to be hard it seems since the weight loss has slowed down now. Anyway, there is a reason many ppl are overweight, its because we just dont have a clue what makes us overweight in the first place. We think fat makes us fat, just like how we thought the earth is flat because we cant see its not. Good luck with ur project.
