I did this and it really worked! I lost about 12kg in 6 weeks and I kept the good habit, so I'm still slim. It's very simple - chew your food better. Chew each mouthfull about 14 times. How it works is that your food is better digested, your stomach have time to send information to your brain that you are full, so you end up eating less, but you don't feel hungry. At the beginning, you need to concentrate a little, but then it comes automatically. It's just a little thing, but it made a world of difference for me - I didn't do any exercises or change my diet. Try it out - it's free and it worked for me!

Any medication for losing weight is probably bad for your health. The best way to lose weight is natural- eat a little less, move a little more, and don't hurry your body. If you lose weight very fast, it's probably all water, which will be gained back again.
You don't have to expressedly exercise, but there are small ways to move more- taking the stairs instead on an elevator, for example. Eating less may just mean cutting down on a couple indulgences every day- no sugar in coffee, less butter on toast... etc. Losing weight doesn't have to be tough emotionally.

Walk, swim, change your diet. Don't eat sweets or other junk foods. It is very hard to lose weight, and the best thing is keep moving. I have a hard time controlling my weight too. Seems like as we get "older" it is harder to control. I don't eat any junk food at all and we only buy foods low in calories, and try not to buy anything that has hydrogenated oils. Have a nice salad for lunch, with fat free dressing, and then go take a brisk walk. After you eat you supper, don't eat anything else - but drink plenty of water, drink green or white tea - drink only diet soda's if you drink soda at all. Get out and walk again. Stay away from diet pills - they have terrible side affects. I take a One A Day vitamin for weight loss. It is just a vitamin. Try it.- This should help. Good luck to you from someone that has been there!!

THE BEST WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT IS TO CUT OUT SUGARS OF ANY KIND INCLUDING BREADS. ALSO YOU NEED SOME KIND OF EXERCISE , IF YOU ARE IN AN OFFICE ALL DAY FIND SOME WAYS TO BURN EXTRA CALORIES SUCH AS TAKE STAIRS INSTEAD OF THE ELEVATOR OR GET UP AN HOUR EARLIER AND TAKE A BRISK WALK. IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO A GYM LIFTING WEIGHTS IS ONE OF THE BEST WAS TO LOSE WEIGHT.

Modifying your diet will help, but exercise is also a necessary component of healthful weight loss. Here are some ideas.
First, for all of the "quick and easy" weight loss diet pill suggestions that you will get, remember, if something sounds too good to be true... it probably is, particularly if you have to pay for it.
On Yahoo!Answers I find certain questions being asked repeatedly which is simply a reflection of new people participating. A couple of common question amounts to "How do I lose weight," or more specifically, "How do I lose abdominal fat?" I have gotten very positive responses from my answers when I paused to reply (and now beginning to get "It works!" emails that are very gratifying. I like helping people)... so have recently decided to put a good solid answer on my Yahoo!360 Blog (September 10) that I can point people to. These are my thoughts as a physician and athlete.
Don't target losing more than about 2 lbs per week. If you try to lose faster, your body will go into "starvation mode" and get very stingy about burning calories while at the same time very efficient about storing any calories that you do provide. And it will make you feel awful.
There is no site specific way of losing fat... the old myth about working your abs to burn belly fat isn't true. To get rid of love handles, you need to lose overall fat. That happens with exercise and watching your diet. More on that below.
The most effective way to lose fat is aerobic exercise in the "moderate" fat-burning range, ideally first thing in the morning before you eat. When you wake your body is ready to burn fat and your levels of growth hormone are highest at that time. Later in the day it can take up to 30 minutes just to put your body into a fat-burning mode.
Another overlooked way to burn fat is by lifting weights. Skeletal muscle has very high caloric needs... almost twice that of adipose (fat) tissue. Put on a little muscle and you will burn calories all day even at rest. Be aware that skeletal muscle weighs more, so with this approach you may see your weight increasing while your body fat is melting away. Not realizing this often stresses folks who think they should be losing weight as a measure of fitness. Forget the scale, look in the mirror and you will be happy.
To lose a pound of fat, you need to eliminate about 3500 calories. You can do this by burning more with exercise or by modifying your diet to reduce intake. If you do a Google search on say, "swimming calories" you will quickly find a website with tables of calories burned for a given exercise. You can use such lists to estimate how many calories you are burning up with your routine.
For diet, keep a diary for a couple of weeks counting calories, grams of protein, and grams of fat intake. It is easy with online sources of nutritional information (type the name of the food and calories into the Google search engine) and packaging labels. That will let you quickly figure out where the fat is coming from in your diet.
Fat gives you 9 calories per gram. So take the number of grams of fat, multiply by 9, then calculate what percentage the fat calories are of your total daily calories. Restricting the calories from fat to about 20% of your total intake is ideal for a maintenance diet... that isn't overly restrictive. Of note, you need some fat in your diet. For instance, the body uses fat to produce hormones. Once you have a picture of how to modify your diet, you can drop the diary and just go back to it occasionally if you are wanting to tweek things further.
There is a subset of questions that goes further and asks about "How to get a six-pack?" The answer is the same. Six-packs are 20% abdominal exercise and 80% diet. There is one caveat... abdominal muscles will form in the position that you work them, so be certain to pull them tightly toward your spine while doing crunches, etc. Also, during most lifting, the "core is active" which means that you should be stabilizing with contracted abs then too. Fail to do this and the abs will form, but bulging outward and the result is not attractive.
If you are trying to build muscle as a way to lose fat, then you may need to increase total calories and specifically your protein intake. I target about 0.8 g of protein per pound of body weight each day when actively building. That is far more protein than most people need in their diets.
