What's a safe, effective and quick diet for a 18 year old female? be more specific than eat healthy and exercise.i want lose 10-15 pounds.

Eat less & exercise: The key to losing weight is to eat less, but not all calories are created equal. Sugars & simple carbs from grains esp cause weight gain. I like dr. Furhman's diet: 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 his "discuss that" link in his article. Also see comment:.

Specifically why?: Decrease carbs and decrease sugars. Stop eating bread and focus on vegetables and fruit (spinach, tomatos, apples, oranges, etc) and plain fish . Restrict any colas (no diet colas) and drink only water and skim milk. Above all, increase activities with yoga, stop sitting so much and jog at least 30 mins daily for 3 months. What's the specific reason for losing 10-15 lbs, what's your goal?
