I heard a recent news report that says that the former convention of requiring diet and exercise is no longer true. The most recent theory says that you can diet alone without exercising and still lose weight, but it will be slower, and you must stick to that diet plan.
There have been good and bad things said about the Low Carb diet, but it has been more good than bad. The advantage of the low carb diet is that you can eat as much as you want of certain foods; those high in protein like meat and vegetables.
Now if you think about it this diet makes sense. When man discovered how to make fire we stopped evolving, from that point one we changed the environment to suit us, and we no longer adapted ourselves to suit the environment. If we stopped evolving then your bodies have remained pretty much the same design as ancient homosapiens. So grain and breads are a foreign substance to us and we were raised on a diet with lots of meat, no grain or bread, with fat and sugar being rare. So the idea of a low carb does make some sense.
Regardless of what you do you need to stop eating the cakes, Twinkies and other foods that are loaded with fat. You also need to confine yourself to 3 meals per day. It has been proven that those who don’t eat breakfast have their bodies fall into that starvation mode when the body hordes its calories and that makes losing weight much more difficult.

Just excerise. Its not hard to walk 20 minutes a day. If your not willing to put in the effort of only 20 minutes of walking a day, then your NOT going to lose weight. Get yourself outta park, and put 'er in drive!

Try this, it will definitely help you!
The easiest and natural thing to do is to walk. So, choose a time of day when you are not busy and make that your walking moment. You do not have to power walk, but it must be continuous. That means every single day. No matter if you are on vacation or not. There is always walking to do. Start out going for a walk around your block for a week. Then the second week if you feel comfortable doing that then increase it to two blocks. Do not try to do more until you are comfortable walking two blocks. By the end of one month you will probably be at a comfort level where you can now walk for one hour up and one hour back to your home without getting winded, as long as you leisurely walk.
As I have mentioned before, do not power walk. Just leisurely walk non-stop every day. That includes in the rain and the snow and the heat. The key is to prepare yourself for the walk. If it is raining cats and dogs, don't bother with an umbrella. Get yourself a hooded raincoat and water galoshes. If it is snowing outside then buy a warm coat and scarf and gloves and boots. You might want to get a pair of dainty long johns and thermal socks. If it is hot outside, buy a headband and clothing that flecks the moisture away from your body.
You are not going to die of thirst in an hour at a leisurely pace so forget about the water bottle. Drink your water and empty your bladder before you leave the house, so that you will not be uncomfortable during your walk. Well, there you have it. One hour up and one hour back. No more, no less. Do not stop to pet the dog or smell the roses. Don't even stop to talk to your neighbors. Just smile and say hello and goodbye as you continue on your way. People will by now have noticed you have begun to slim down and will probably want to walk with you. It is alright to let them. But, stipulate to them that they must walk at YOUR PACE and on YOUR CHOSEN PATH! Resist the urge to power walk!
By now you are admiring yourself differently and have made walking a daily routine and it didn't cost you a thing. After you have been doing this for a good six months, it is well within reason that you want to do more for a variety. Well, good for you. Get out that ratty blanket that you keep on your bed and throw it on the floor. Now do get down there and strive to do five situps. Stop! I said 5! Only do 5. There's no race here. You are not in competition. Continue to only do five during the time that you have chosen to do them for one month. The second month if you choose to do so you may increase your situps to ten times each day. Continue to increase your situps ever every month until you reach fifty. Yes, I said 50! I know that you know someone who can do one hundred or more. But, you are not them and you asked for my advice. The reason that I make fifty a cut off point is because you want to make this a lifetime routine coupled with your walks and you don't want to risk hurting yourself or becoming bored.
As you do your walking and situp routines, don't forget to have fun.

The only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you consume. If you're not going to increase the number of calories you burn through exercise, then you have to decrease the number of calories you consume through eating.

in order to lose weight you have to burn more calories than you take in. so just watch your diet and maybe just take a casual walk a couple times a week to speed the weight loss process up a bit.
