I don't see what's so complicated about just counting calories and lifting heavy shit with a flat bench, squat rack, barbell, and weights, but GODSPEED

Everyone I have ever heard says cardio is necessary. So I can see where the skepticism about what you described would be coming from.

You don't even have to lift weights. It isn't a NEW DIET SECRET, it's just common sense that if you eat less than you use, you'll lose weight. WHERE you'll lose it is another story (and why I'd recommend lifting weights in addition to dieting), but you will lose fat regardless of whatever else the fuck you're doing if you eat ~500 calories under your body's basal metabolic rate (adjusted for activity level).
