A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER:
The correct way to burn fat and stay healthy is to burn more calories than you consume
You need to make sure you are eating healthy foods while still excercising
If you have a big appetite drink plenty of water so that you will feel full but not consume calories
But you should always eat
If you start to skip meals you will only be more hungry at your next meal and probably eat way too much
Remember, the average persons stomach is as big as a slice of pizza scrunched up into a ball
So you shouldnt be putting more food into your stomach than what fits
Also, it takes aproximately 15-20 minutes for your brain to realize that you are full
so eat slower and you will realize sooner when you are not hungry anymore
ALSO....
i found this artical called "50 Habits of "Naturally Thin" People
How to get Started:Decide how much you want to loose and see how many calories a day it will take to make it happen by year's end.Then, work into your routines however many of these eating tweaks and exercises you need to achieve your goal.
Slash 250 cal.s a day to lose about 25 lbs. in a year, Slash 500 cal.s to loose 50 pounds.
This is based on a 150-pound person: you may need to cut more/ fewer calories depending on ur weight, age & gender. It also assumes your normal calorie intake essentially stays the same and your weight is stable.

Ooh! Dance Dance Revolution is the PERFECT workout for you then. I've experienced it just for the last 2 weeks! Trust me, I do my math and weigh myself "everyday". To start off, you must have a playstation2 system, then go buy the D.D.R. game at Best Buy or something. When you get everything ready, make a plan. Keep track on start date and end date, also weigh yourself before you start playing the game. The first week will be a pain depending where all your fats are. I lost about 5lbs the first day 'cause I played the game for more than 4 hours. Why? Hehe, 'cause I really wanted a double "A" on one of the songs. I play the game 3 hrs everyday and lost total of...45lbs. It's true! I even have my before and after pictures AND videos.

I struggled with that one for a lot of years. Tried all sorts of things. The only thing that I've found that really works is eat better. Eat healthy foods and take omega 3 fish oil. An imbalance in the body - more of other kinds of fats, particularly saturated fats and less of omega 3 causes a lot of problems according to research, not the least of which is overweight. When I cut back on my saturated fat and got more omega three, the weight just started coming off. I've tried diet pills and all they did was make it harder for me to lose weight. And that stuff thats supposed to block the absorption of fat says right on the label that it also blocks the absorption of vital nutrients. In my experience, omega 3 is the best answere.

Walk a lot, use the stairs instead of the elevator, drink a lot of water, and don't get seconds.
Most diets are actually harmful because they actually feel like deprivation- which will, of course, mean that you'll eat more of what you're being deprived of.
Also, in addition to what you usually eat, keep fruits and nuts around the house for between-meal snacks. That way you won't feel ravenously hungry at dinner time.

Excersize.
Reason - Many people that that if they don't excersize, and go on a diet, they will still lose weight. Not true. Your body thinks you are beginning to starve, so it slows down your metabolism, making you store calories as... you guessed it... fat. So excersize, eat right... not necessarily a diet... and you will begin to lose weight.

I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!
Get started today!

you asked in another question how to make big your chest. and in this question asking how to lose weight. which one is correct? the answer to lose weight is do exercises prescribed by a qualified physiotherapist and contact endocrinologist to rule out thyroid problem and take less calories and avoidance of sweets. if obesity is a hereditary one, not good results can be expected

I know a doctor who lost a bunch of weight by simply only eating food cooked at home. No fast food.

Try a detox first. For example, the liquid detox featuring lemon juice. You'd be surprised at how much you can drop in a week!
