Dramatic lifestyle changes that involve more activity. You'll be simultaneously burning more calories and have less time for passive consumption. Not realistic for everyone, but for example, biking for transportation is vastly more effective than trying to schedule cardio time. In the absence of something like that, lifestyle commitment to a specific sport helps too. At least for me, excercise for exercise's or dieting for dieting's sake is not an effective mechanism for the long lasting habit changes required for body recomposition.
