Find an exercise activity you enjoy, and the pounds will drop. In addition to the burned energy during exercise, an hour of good exercise increases the calorie burn greatly for the next 14 hours or so of.

I like ultra marathon cycling, which can be an extreme caolrie burner because it's possible to go on for so long. The most I have burned in one effort is ~4800 kcal in 9 hours on a 235 km ride, which is pretty crazy amount of calories for someone who only weighed 63 kg. On a regular three hour ride I burn ~1300-1700 kcal. A heavier person burns a lot more. The cool thing about long distance cycling is that you can treat yourself afterwards. You actually have to.[thumbup] I weighed ~75 kg in 2008 and have stabilized at around 62 kg now, and I haven't been trying to lose weight. An overweight person who tried to lose weight through exercise would do so quicker than me.

Chicken and turkey breasts are lean and taste well with a good sauce and a salad.

Don't fall for "alternative" schemes with no science to back them up.
