What is the easiest way to loose weight?

Diet and exercise: Although, most folks are looking for a magic pill or similar advice, the mainstay is really burning calories. This can be achieved by adhering to a weight loss promoting diet. Stay away from high carb products (anything white or made out of white - eggs, sugar, starches, high fat dairy). Aerobic exercises (120-140 beats per minute) 30 minutes/time 5x/week should help as well.

Exercise; eat less: Moderate exercise (ideally 30 min/day) burns off extra weight. Portion control of intake of healthful foods (lean protein, colorful fruits & veggies, low glycemic carbs, good fats) reduces caloric intake. Use a salad plate for servings; no 2nd helpings. Avoid simple sugars, soda pop, fast food, highly processed foods. Aim for 2 lbs/week loss. Drink plenty of fluids. Get support from friends/family.

No easy way: Losing weight should always be a medium to long term plan. It involves significant lifestyle changes meant to reverse the natural tendency of gaining weight in individuals prone to it. Has to involve a low calorie diet and physical exercise.
