I am overweight. What is the best way to lose weight?

The optimal way to lose weight is to follow a lower calorie diet based on the Healthy Eating Pyramid food pattern and to incorporate daily physical activity into your lifestyle. It is important to make small changes in your diet and lifestyle rather than trying to go on a "crash" diet or "fad" diet claiming you can lose five pounds in one week. On average, you should aim for losing half a pound to one pound each week. In addition, it is important to pay special attention to portion sizes. Average restaurant portion sizes are typically two to three times the amount of food an average person needs in one meal. Furthermore, successful weight loss involves a permanent lifestyle change; otherwise, you will easily regain the weight that you lost.

If you possess a high number of fat cells you MUST exercise & diet using correct scientific principles in order to empty fat cells, any other way will result in water loss and potential regain after diet stops.
