None: There is no fast and safe way to lose weight. A one thousand calorie difference between what's eaten and what's burned off will result in a loss of 2 pounds per week. That is about as aggressive as you can be without sacrificing health. See your doctor for a diet that is right for you.

Exercise and diet: That the best combination. If you can exercise that a wonderful tool than increase the metabolic rate, burning more calories, and will make you less craving. If combine exercise with disciplined eating and plenty of drinking you will succeed. Best of luck..
