Best Way to Lose Fat: The very best way is to limit carbs to 30 grams per 4 hour period. If you miss your morning carbs, you don't get to add them later in day. Know carb #s for everything you eat! Other ideas: GreanTeaHP (see website), eat a teaspoon of Coconut Oil 30 min before lunch and dinner combined with 1 teaspoon of chia seeds. These reduce food cravings. A doctor can prescribe phentermine for two months.

Lose it slowly instead: Fast weight loss usually results in regaining the weight after stopping the diet. What is needed is decreasing the amount of calories that you take in every day. The best way to do this is to slightly reduce portion sizes. You shouldn't go hungry, but you need to eat less. This needs to be combined with at least 20 to 30 minutes of exercise a day, trying to lose 1-2 pounds per week at the most.
