No medications: Weight loss is a mathematical issue of portion sizes and caloric intake. An individual requires around 2000 calories a day to maintain his or her weight. If cut down caloric intake ( less than 1600) and portion sizes (provided you do not have any other metabolic or hormonal disorder) you will loose weight.
