If you're serious about losing weight, the best and longest lasting method is by adopting a life change. (Breaking old habits of snacking and overeating.)
The easiest way is to determine what your actual metabolic rate in calories is per day and eating a fixed, lessor amount to lose one pound per week.
Basically, 3,500 calories = 1 lb.
Losing one pound per week requires you to eat your calculated metabolic rate less 3,500 calories. (In other words, you must eat 500 calories less every day.)
The easiest way is to track every morcial of food you put in your mouth and keep a record. (Staying 500 calories per day below your metabolic rate.)
