There's only ONE WAY to lose fat - and that is to create a calorie deficit. However, there are two ways to create a calorie deficit - one is to decrease your food intake so you are eating less than you burn, the other is to increase your exercise and activity so you are burning more than you eat.
Of the two ways to create a calorie deficit, burning the fat is far superior to starving it. You see, cutting calories too much causes weight loss at first, but it also causes muscle loss and it eventually leads to a decrease in metabolism, so the weight loss stops. This is very common on conventional diets, right? You lose weight in the beginning, but then you hit a plateau that you just can't break through. Cutting calories even more at this point only digs you even into a deeper "metabolic hole."
Eating more of the right foods (up to a certain point) actually increases your metabolic "heat" like putting wood on a fire. Food is energy; food is fuel, and it produces (metabolic) heat.
Exercise burns calories and creates a calorie deficit, but the real advantage of exercise over diet is that exercise increases your metabolism, dieting slows it down. Exercise also has major health benefits, while starvation can only create health problems.
So if you eat more (healthy foods) and exercise more, you get a double increase in metabolism. If you eat less and exercise less you get a double decrease in metabolism. That makes complete sense doesn't it?
The IDEAL exercise program for fat loss has a combination of cardiovascular (aerobic) training and strength training. But ultimately, you're not likely to stick with exercise long term unless you choose activities you enjoy - so pick something you enjoy, even if it doesn't follow the guidelines of "traditional" fat loss programs. It's better to do something than nothing, and all exercise counts.
Some people may have orthopedic problems which limit the type of exercise they can do. But nearly everyone can walk. So if you can walk, then walk. And almost everyone can do some type of strength training. Instead of focusing on what you can't do or what you don't like to do, direct your attention to what you CAN do and what you would like to do.
Maybe you don't like being couped up inside all the time. Maybe you'd prefer hiking or jogging outside. Or maybe boxing or martial arts sounds cool to you. Maybe you like basketball or tennis. Maybe you'd enjoy classes, or yoga or pilates. Your options are nearly unlimited, but you have to do something or your body will begin to deteriorate.
As you increase your lean muscle mass, you'll also get a permanent increase in your resting metabolic rate. Muscle is what drives your metabolism, keeps you young and makes you look more physically attractive. Others will notice how good you look, and you'll feel better about yourself too. Yes, you may lose weight from diet alone, but you're likely to end up a "skinny fat person" with a slow metabolism and very little lean body mass (not to mention, you'll probably gain back all the fat)
Last, but not least, be careful what you say to yourself over and over because that tends to program your subconscious mind and create your self image. If you've been repeating to yourself for years, "I'm not big on exercise" or "I'm not an exercise person", that eventually becomes a part of your identity. You always tend to behave in alignment with your identity in order to stay "true to yourself."
Maybe when you look in the mirror after just a few weeks and see your body start to change you'll begin to like enjoy exercise a LOT. It can get addictive, you know. The endorphins that are released when you exercise are like opiates. Ever hear of "runners HIGH?" Ever hear of an "exercise addict?" What would YOU rather be hooked on? Forget about popping pills, Your body is the most exquisite pharmacy on the planet. Exercise is a better fat burner, health creator, energy producer and anti-depressant than any man-made drug will EVER be. Exercise can be fun and FEEL GOOD too.
Human beings were meant to move. Bodies don't lose their function by being used too much and "wearing out", they lose their function by not being used enough and "rusting out." So if the positive benefits of exercise don't motivate you enough, then just picture yourself 10, 20 years from now and imagine what will happen to you if you DON'T start exercising today.

I might advocate you to have three important foods an afternoon ( do-it-yourself, now not purchased someplace), breakfast is the fundamental meal of the day, seeing that in the event you consume a well breakfast you will not be ravenous for the period of the morning, so you will not think the desire of snacking. Then within the core of the morning take a work of fruit, a low fats yogurt or two oat cookies ( you'll opt for, then you definitely must do the identical within the core of the night, earlier than eating). For lunch have whatever healthful, as grilled hen, grilled fish, wholemeal pasta and matters like that. And at night time you'll consume a whole lot of fruit, low fats yogurt, turkey, low fats cheese...you already know whatever healthful and now not fatty. This signifies that you're consuming five instances an afternoon ( three important foods and a pair of healthful snacks), so you will not be hungry and you'll reduce weight!! I might additionally propose a few activity, you do not relatively must become a member of a fitness center if you do not like them, simply pass going for walks all over the place and be lively. Best of success!!

You need to get organized and work out how much you want to lose to get fit and healthy.
You need to be prepared to take the time it takes - it takes ages to get overweight, so don't expect to have all the fat drop off in a matter of a few weeks.
You have to have a personal motivation for you that is more important to you than anything so that no matter what happens in your life, your goal of getting a slim body is never pushed aside.
You need to get informed about your natural body shape and how best to eat and exercise for that shape for fastest and most efficient results.
You have to be strict with yourself on a weekly basis, but also kind, by allowing yourself a cheat meal once a week.
The bottom line - you can do it, you just have to want it badly enough! Good luck to you.

The only way is to eat less and exercise more. Fat has the most calories so you should reduce this in your diet. If you are very over weight start exercising gently maybe by walking or swimming. It will help to get your heart rate up for your general fitness. Most of all you need will power.

Try this simple plan. Be sure to eat breakfast. (Bowl of Cereal, Scrambled Eggs, Boiled Egg/3 slices of pre-cooked bacon, Oatmeal) Anything you want to eat for breakfast.
For Lunch, have something light. Salad/cottage cheese and fruit/A nice hearty bowl of soup..etc.
For dinner..This is very simple. Get a dinner plate. On one side, put vegetables. On the other side, put one piece of protein, (Chicken, fish, meat, pork)etc. On the other corner, put a starch. (Rice, potato, etc.)
Eat the vegetables first. Then the protein, and then the starch. By the time you get to the starch, you will already be pleasantly full, and find that you don't over eat.
Also, a great tip is to eat an apple 1/2 hr before meals. It will fill you up, and thus making you eat less. Drink plenty of water, and if you like Tea. Parsley Tea and Green Tea are best.
Don't forget healthy snacks, like Walnuts, Crunchy Carrot Sticks, with lowfat dip, apples with peanut butter, etc. etc.
I have lost 20 pounds on this diet. It's nothing that you can find out there, I simply made it up myself. Good Luck to you.

I have found that Interval Training is one of the best ways to shift that weight.
