yes- decreasing your calorie intake and increasing your calorie burning with a good exercise regement is the best way to lose weight. BUT I recommend a balanced diet for proper nutrition balance. if you only eat what you've listed, you will have fiber, vit. c, low cal. source of protein, BUT you'll be missing various other vitamins and minerals. If anything, at least add a multi-vitamin to your diet.

Did you know that you can eat a lot and still lose weight? It sounds too good to be true, right? Here are some ways to make it happen.
Steps
Eat a lot of healthy, low-fat foods rather than junk food. Adding a lot of vegetables and fruits to your diet will help you. Drink boullion made with filtered water to help you feel full.
Go ahead and have that donut or slice of pizza, but before you do, drink a few glasses of water and eat a bowl of raw veggies such as cucumbers, celery, carrots, and tomatoes. They will fill you up and you will have very little room to eat the "junk" food.
There are two things you eat and drink that contain no calories: water and fiber. The more of these you get into your diet, the better off you will be. For example, you can eat a pound of mixed salad greens with assorted raw vegetables (carrots, red cabbage, celery, broccoli, onion, etc.) with a low or no-calorie salad dressing and only have eaten 100-150 calories. This is because of the high water and fiber content of the salad and low calorie dressing.
Always use utensils and sit at the table. This stops you from descending into "binge hell" where you have your head in the fridge eating with your hands.
Eat slowly and stop when you're full. If you can't stop then say "OK, I can't stop so that means I can't______." Fill in the blank with something you like to do other than eating. Maybe you can't put on make up, use the computer or go to town.
Exercise every day! Get your heart rate up and start out at 10 minutes then work your way up by adding 5 or 10 minutes each day.
Craving chocolate usually means you need more magnesium. Take the RDA of magnesium a day beyond what you would get from your food.
If you eat 100-150 calories or so every two hours, your body stays in a high-metabolism digesting mode. This allows you to burn more calories than eating just 3 meals a day.
Tips
Avoid calorie dense, unhealthy food. Unhealthy food is food which contains calories, but little nutritional value. These calories are called "empty calories." You will probably be best served if you also avoid foods that would contain empty calories if they were not fortified with vitamin C (like some gummy bears) or calcium (like some cookies). Fortification with vitamins doesn't always make unhealthy food healthy.
Try to do a little bit at a time until you get used to it.
Get a friend to follow the diet with you. Sometimes, when following a diet by yourself, you'll break the rules because it's just you. But following it with a friend, you have a partner who will help keep you on track and responsible.
Expect to cheat or binge once in a while. (A word of caution: if you're binging more than once or twice a month, consider a different approach to your weight loss goals.) Don't despair when you realize you've strayed from your goals. It took you many years to achieve your current weight, and it will take time to achieve your new weight and size goal.
Warnings
You have to exercise and eat healthier, otherwise you may not notice any improvement and—even worse—you may gain weight.
If you need to lose more than 10% of your body weight, consult with your primary-care physician before beginning any weight loss plan.

Instead of Corn Flakes, which have very little nutrition value, eat Special K....better yet, Total. There's more nutritious values to those cereals with less sugar. Another cereal to try is Kashi. The Cinnimon Raisin brand. It is the highest fiber cereal next to All Bran you can find. It's high fiber, and low fat that will do the trick. Good luck!
