Eat less & exercise: Great!you realize the best weight loss is not from a temporary diet! sugars/simple carbs from grains esp. Cause weight gain. I like dr. Furhman's diet for long-term health: http://www.Drfuhrman.Com/library/what-is-a-nutritarian-diet.Aspx dr. Weil has useful info: www.Huffingtonpost.Com/andrew-weil-md/carbohydrates-weight-loss_b_1937312.Html- see the "discuss that" link.Exercise is also important!

Avoid alcohol, sweetened juices, soda & caffeinated beverages. Aim for 7.5 to 8 hrs of sleep / night. Hydrate w at least 64 oz of water / day. Calories burned must > calories consumed.
