Hello and welcome to HCM,

The most important thing to keep in mind before starting a weight loss regime is to persistence, maintain nutrition and not to starve the body.
1. Do not miss break fast.
2. Walking should be done before taking breakfast.
3. All meals should be taken in time.
4. Eat something every 1-2 hours.
5. Avoid excessive carbohydrates.
6. Avoid fast foods
7. Take fresh fruits and vegetables
8. Drink plenty of water, fresh fruit juices and soups
9. Take a light walk after dinner
10. Take dinner atleast 2 hours before sleeping
11. Light aerobic exercises should be included in your schedule

Thanks and take care.

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

Losing weight can be difficult. It is easier to lose weight by changing the diet than by increasing activity.

In terms of diet there are two main types of diet: the low fat low calorie diet and the low carbohydrate diet.

In both diet you need to eliminate sodas and fruit drinks and use water instead.

In the low fat diet the following is recommended: reduce frying, use low fat cheeses/milks/dressings, increase the use of vegetables and fruits, use lean meats

In the low carb diet : reduce breads/biscuits/breakfast cereals/pasta/rice/potatoes. Use any amount of protein and salads. The reasoning is carbohydrates cause the body to release insulin and insulin stops fat from breaking down so if carbohydrate intake is reduced then fat is broken down.

I hope this helps
