Eat less in calories: Helpful weight loss diets include natural foods that take time to chew but contain few calories. Examples include carrots, celery, and leafy lettuce (without salad dressing). When shopping for fruits, buy small ones no bigger than a tennis ball, because fruits contain natural sugar. Drinks without calories include water and green tea. Can aim for a half pound loss x 52 weeks, ending up at 130 lbs.
