Best way is: to balance daily exercise and eating a healthy diet with fruits and vegetables. Pomegranate by itself is a high anti-oxidant fruit, as are many others touted to help lose weight, but if you look at the fine print, ALL of these claims say to add exercise for real weight loss. Stop eating processed, fried, GMO foods too. Eat greens cooked or raw, and even less meat. Hydrate more while working out 2.
