A member asked:

Please describe the most effective diet for weight loss?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The one where: You eat less and are more active, thereby burning up 3500 calories that you don't ingest to lose a pound. Stay away from anything that's hyped. Weight watchers can provide valuable info and support. Don't get your medical information from friends, tv or the internet.
