Hello.I think the safest option for weight loss is a proper diet.
You should avoid eating: red meat, fried foods, foods and drinks sugary , bakery products.You should eat a diet rich in water, fruit and vegetables, white meat (chicken, turkey), white fish, oily fish.Following these recommendations and walking 30 minutes everyday probably will lose weight.
I wish you good health.
