Hello and thank you for your question.
The best way to lose weight is to exercise 30-60 minutes daily and cut way back on calories. Lowering carbohydrates like sweets, bread, pasta, potatoes and rice is very helpful. Programs like weight watchers and Jenny Craig work well for many people
Good luck to you
