The equation is pretty simple, you need to burn more than you consume. So decrease your input or increase your exercise - or both. There's no shortcuts. Speak to a specialist, they tend to know what they are doing. A few additional points to consider: * First weight you lose will be water (it's why most of these diet programs make big claims in just a few weeks) * As you burn fat, you'll need to drink more water and you'll flush out your electrolytes - take supplements * If you don't workout and eat a certain-ish amount of protein (not too much or less) you'll lose muscle mass instead of fat * Fasting helps you burn fat rather than food intake * It's better to consume fats than carbs - if you can get your body into ketosis then you'll burn almost exclusively fats * Don't underestimate the importance of exercise, even walking (for a heavy person, you're burning a lot more to move the additional mass around)
