What are some easy tips on losing weight?
Please don't suggest exercise! I did exercise for 2+ years, I ran 4 miles every day, and the were 6 minute miles, and I didn't shed a single pound. So, I don't know, but exercise doesn't work for me.
Any other tips to easily lose weight? To easily get a bikini body?

For weight loss, dieting is more effective than exercise.
Supper needs to be abolished as supper calories are even more fattening than dinner calories as you don't burn them up with most of the day behind you. Breakfast calories are the least fattening followed by lunch calories as you burn them up with most of the day ahead of you.
Reducing your intake of junk sugar will help. Foods or drinks such as coke and other soft drinks, desserts, sweets, cakes, cookies or biscuits must be eliminated or substantially reduced. Cereals must be restricted to those that contain less than 15% total sugars and junk sugar loaded foods such as pizzas must be avoided. Junk sugar bowls must be abolished. Oatmeal, oat bran, wheat bran and wheat germ are good cereals that can help for weight loss.
Junk sugar health hazards are discussed in a web search for "sugar health hazards".
The natural sugars in fruit and vegetables are OK as they metabolise to glucose slowly due to their high fiber content so they have a low to medium GI value. Fruit and vegetables are low in calories and are not fattening. Most fruit and vegetables are metabolism boosting foods and that helps for weight loss. Potatoes and sweet potatoes are exceptions and can be fattening.
Fattening combinations that you need to avoid include combinations of protein foods (such as eggs, meat, poultry, sea food, cheese and nuts) with starchy carbohydrates (such as bread, cereals, pasta, rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn).
Apparently the Lemon Detox Diet is the worst diet there is as in a web search for "lemon detox diet" + voted + worst.

I know you said don't suggest exercise, but I just thought I would mention that running isn't the only type of exercise out there. From personal experience, I see little change from cardio type exercise, but weight bearing exercises (such as squats and deadlifts) showed a great improvement within a few weeks.
Obviously there's the fact that you should be eating healthily, drinking water and getting enough sleep. But the only two real things that can help you lose weight are eating healthily and exercising. All these fad diets and supplements do very little to help lose weight (there are barely any studies that support the use of these) and even if they do, people who use them tend to put it all back on, because they learn nothing about being healthy. So really, I'll suggest exactly what you said not to, and say eating healthy and doing regular weight-bearing exercise.
