Everyone's answers so far are correct. You don't need to starve yourself or not eat - just eat smart. Also exercise of course CARDIO CARDIO CARDIO and LOTS of water.

Join a really good gym (if you can afford it), and go at least 3 to 4 times a day. If you can't do that, walk at least 30 minutes a day (brisk walk). Keep as active as you can, and eat plenty of fruit and vegetables and smaller portions of meat. Limit the amount of junk food in the diet.

Simplest way, which isn't that simple, is to excersize 3 times a weeks for 30 minutes and to watch your calorie intake. So find out your daily calorie intake and do not eat over that amount, and eat slighty less to lose a pound a week. This isn't a quick fix, you actually need to change the way you eat and excersize in order for it to work for the rest of your life. But if you do do it, you'll be living much healthier and happier. :)

Find out what your RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate) is. Your RMR is the amount of calories your body burns at rest, for example, when you are sleeping. It is also the number of calories that your body needs to maintain your present weight.

If, for example, your RMR is 1400, then to lose weight, you would need to consume less than that number of calories a day. For women, it is recommended that we don’t have less than 1200 calories a day; and never less than 1500 for a man.

Try having four to six smaller meals a day. Your meals can be your three main meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner and one to three snacks a day) or just smaller versions of meals than you would normally have, more frequently.

Figure out how many hours you are awake in the day, say for example if you wake up at 6 a.m. and go to bed by 10 p.m. then you are awake for approximately 16 hours. Try to split your meals up so you are having 4-6 smaller meals every 2.5 - 4 hours, i.e. your meals are evenly spaced. Divide the amount of calories you need to lose weight between those 4-6 meals.

It’s not easy at first to be able to “eyeball” foods and know what their caloric content is, how much protein, carbs and fats they have, so if you want to do it right so the weight stays off, you’ll need to measure a bit for the first couple of weeks, just til you get the hang of things. Pay attention to food labels also – that will help you figure out what a serving is and the nutritional content of the food.

A food diary is also useful, I recommend it for the first 3-4 weeks to see what it is you're eating every day. That way if the weight doesn't come off, you can look back and figure out why.

For example, a 350 calorie-meal could be a grilled, baked or roasted chicken breast with a 1/2 cup brown rice and steamed broccoli and a half cup of grapes (or a cup of strawberries or a large orange.you get the picture) or a couple of slices of whole wheat bread with about 4 ozs. tuna and a small salad (use vinaigrette dressing).

Or it can be 4 ozs. ground turkey (try getting the leaner ground turkey to cut down on fat and calories), a 1/2 cup of spaghetti with a little sauce (use ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar and a little hot pepper sauce instead of the prepackaged sauces on the market) and a fruit.

As you can see just by these three examples, there are options for meals that are tasty, nutritious and yet meet your caloric needs.

A food diary is also useful, I recommend it for the first 3-4 weeks to see what it is you're eating every day. That way if the weight doesn't come off, you can look back and figure out why.

Neither the food diary nor the weighing is popular, but please don’t be fooled by the “quick fixes” out there that promise great results with no work. There is no quick fix to weight loss or anything else. I’ve coached and helped people lose weight for five years through learning to eat more healthily and encouraging them to be more active.

Another option is having a meal replacement PROTEIN shake that has good carbs, a good amount of protein and not too much fat or sugars. Try to find one that has at least 10 grams of protein and not more than about 15 grams of carbs. Otherwise you may find that the shake makes you hungrier and that you “crash” because of too much sugar. The meal replacement shake would be done in place of two meals. Many studies have shown that proper use of a meal replacement shake works in weight loss. But you’ve got to make the right choices.

Get a book on calorie counting – try to get a well-known, reliable one – that gives you not only calories, but protein, fat and carb amounts as well as serving sizes. A good cookbook might also be helpful to you if you cook (and most times it’s easier to eat less and eat better when we eat at home). Try “Saving Dinner The Low Carb Way” by Leanne Ely – it has a weekly menu, shopping list and recipes all in one. I highly recommend it.

Please, please don’t skip meals – doing that slows down your metabolism and inhibits your ability to release fat. Plus you may get dizzy or nauseous or have headaches if you skip meals.

I hope that helps!
