HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Weight loss can be achieved by change in diet and activity. It requires an increase in activity to at least 150 mins a week, more if possible.

In terms of diet, there are different diet programs available,you can choose which ever one you are more comfortable with.

The main diets are: (1)low fat/low calorie diet and (2) low carbohydrate diet

Both are associated with weight loss though the initial weight loss with low carbohydrate diets is faster.

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
