Lose wt. naturally: Successful weight loss requires that a person stick to a plan for months. The person must be happy with the foods she gets to eat (so severe calorie restriction is a bad idea). She can cut back on calories enough to lose 1-2 pounds a week, and will be more likely to stay with that modest type of plan. 1-2 pounds a week is 6 pounds a month. Don't need pills nor supplements, but exercise is great!

Slow is Better.: To lose weight insure that calories burned > calories consumed. Drink at least 8 - 8 oz glasses of water per day. Try for 8 hours of sleep/night. Aim for at least 5 servings of vegetables & 4 servings of fruit per day. Use whole grain when possible. Avoid sodas, alcohol & junk carbohydrates. Get in a good mix of aerobic & weight lifting exercises.
