if you are losing weight by depriving yourself then no wonder you put weight back on - because when you starve yourslef all you lose is water weight and muscle and slow down metabolism and you end up having higher body fat percentage.
find daily calorie intake calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours - it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Easy exercise. It is the only proven and safe way to increase your metabolic rate. There are four parts of your body that significantly burn energy. These are your brain, stomach and muscles. You would have to do a hell of a lot of cross words to affect your metabolic rate so the only sensible one is to increase your muscle mass. This doesn't mean you will need to become a body builder. It is possible to increase you muscle mass and get slimmer. This is the only tried and tested way. I know it was probably not the news you wanted but there really are no short cuts! Good luck and enjoy it. (or at least try).

Your metabolic type is what you need to look at hen you can work out which foods suit your metabolism. That's the only sure way to keep the weight off. Some people are lucky and stumble upon the right diet for their metabolism, but the better way to do it is see which foods suit your metabolism.
Either do a search for metabolic typing or check out this book -

for weight loss supplements, the best are either maximuscles thermobol, or la muscles fat stripper, ive tried them and u can feel them working, the problem with almonds and other nuts is that they contain part ingredients/ chemicals for metabolism boosters, plus there rank. he.
also try drinking green tea, there very good antioxidants, and boost metabolism.

Chillis and garlic and onions- help cleanse the body- a one day detox- just veg and fruit- if you're brave, a raw food diet for a day and water- really helps get rid of those extra pounds and lessens your appetite- I tried it and whilst i felt weird for one day- I had so much more energy the next day and my appetite lessened.

Ask for your entrée to get served on a bed of greens rather than bed of pasta or mashed carrots.

Good intensity cardio exercise, the best.
It does not have to be too long, just intense. 20 to 30 minutes three times a week would be great.
