Ok I'm a 19 year old male, about 5' 5'' and 190 pounds. I want to lose weight even if it not really fast, but the faster the better. i have fat in my stomach, thighs, and chest. i need a list of foods to eat and foods to avoid, besides fruits and veggies which i already eat. I also need an exercise plan to go with it. I wont have a problem sticking to it either. Thanks for your help.

Works and fast don't last. If you want to lose weight and keep it off, you have to rearrange your thought processes and be patient:
Here???s all you need to lose weight all over, look good, and get really healthy. First, you have to realize there is no quick, long lasting weight loss plan or pill that is going to do the trick. It???s purely mental. You have to learn to ???Eat to live, don???t live to eat???. Sounds simple, doesn???t it? It is, if you understand that you are going to be reprogramming how you think about eating for the next few weeks. Old habits die hard, right? Not really. You get rid of bad habits by replacing them with good habits. If you learn to count your calories, keep calorie intake lower than output, exercise moderately, and eat only healthy food, you will lose weight. That???s a fact. All it takes is repetition. All success stories have this in common: The successful folks among us know how to be patient, persistent, and consistent. Set a goal, write it down, and stick with it. The benefits of feeling good will outweigh any sense of sacrifice you might feel about having to push away that cake and ice cream. Here are some helpful and healthy links to help you get started on your way:

It depends on your body. Some people can loose weight very fast on the various low carb diets and some cannot. Some can loose on the opposite of that the Mcdougall diet which is carb based. (I lost 35 lbs in 12 weeks and kept it off). www.mcdougall.com But what is most important is that you exercise and eat healthy. There are hundreds of thousands of weight loss plans out there. You really have to see what works for you. Remember that cardio workout is good with some weight training.

Easiest way to lose weight fast and safely is to cut your calorie intake by eating more on fiber, fruits and vegetables. You'll feel full with fewer calories on them. Fruits, vegetables and fibers are packed with nutrients but less on calories.
I lost 10 pounds in just 2 months using these tips.
Here are Tips to help speed up your metabolism plus help you lose weight without being miserable. they worked for me =)
"Taking the time to relax and savor food increases calorie and fat-burning power by up to 30%", mainstains Marc David, author of The Slow Down Diet( Healing Arts Press, 2005).
The reason: Savoring stimulates the cephalic phase digestive response, or "brain phase" of digestion, which then sets up a slimming chain of events. First, it signals the hypothalamus, the brain's emotion-and-appetite-control center, to trigger the release of the metabolism-reviving thyroid hormone and the pleasure neurochemical cholecystokinin (CCK). In turn, CCK hinders production of the stress hormone cortisol, a known cause of fat accumulation.
1. Outsmart Snack Attacks for 4 hours and Lose Weight
Savoring Berries can oustmart snack attacks for 4 hours and help you shed 5% of your body weight in 6 months. The credit goes to dozens of blood sugar stabilizing antioxidants. Bluberries are so packed with them, just a half cup daily can boost your blood levels by 100%.
2. Fill up on Fiber and Lose Weight Fast
Fill up on Fiber - Foods rich in fiber will make you feel satisfied and help curb your appetite, helping you to lose weight fast and safely - so make sure to pack your diet with fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
3. Boost fat-burning metabolic rate by 50% by sipping coffee
Sipping coffee before a meal can supress appetite by 35%, plus boost fat-burning metabolic rate by 50%, according to extensive research at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. The study-proven dose : 250 mg of caffeine daily, taken either in supplement form or by sipping to cups of coffee or 4 cups of tea.
4. Lose Weight just by eating Yogurt
Yogurt is a calcium-rich food. Research links calcium with lower cortisol production, and it has been proven that women who increase they're intake lose up to 40% more weight than calcium avoiders.
Plus Yogurt has live microorganisms which helps proper digetion and absorption of nutrients we take. Make sure to get yogurts that says "with live microorganisms in labels/packages".
5. Try this Hunger-Taming Trick
Cut fat and you'll cut cravings. Consuming a high-fat diet may supress your body's natural satiety signals, according to a new study from Pennsylvania State University. Animals who'd been consuming a diet rich in fat ended up eating 40% more of a high-calorie snack than those on average diets. Keep your fat intake to less than 30% of total calories.
6. Feel full on less food.
Apples are rich in pectin, a soluble fiber that slows the digestive process, so you'll feel full on less food.The result: You'll eat just enough food to make you happy, reducing calorie intake.
7. Studies suggest people pursuing a healthy weight could lose more weight and burn more fat by including 24 ounces a day of low fat or fat-free milk in their reduced-calorie diet, instead of 8 ounces or less.
8. Speed fat burn with Cranberries.
The ascorbic acid in cranberries helps thin liver bile, making it easier for the organ to emulsify fat so so it can be quickly flushed out of the system rather than stored in cells.
9. Boost your protein intake and lose almost a pound a week without hunger.
You can try protein smoothies. Packed with nutrients and low in calories, smoothies are a fast, easy and great tasting way to achieve good health.
You can find a wide collection of healthy fruit smoothies at : http://fruitsmoothierecipe.bravehost.com
By boosting your protein intake from the typical 15% of total calories to 30%, you may be able to cut your daily calorie intake by 440-enough to lose almost a pound a week without hunger, according to a recent University of Washigton study. "A high-protein diet appears to fool the brain into thinking you've eaten more than you have," says the study's lead author, Scott Weigle, M.D., a professor of endocrinology at the University of Washington School of Medicine. Stick with lean protein rather than high-fat, artery clogging meat and dairy products. For breakfast, use low-fat milk instead of water in your oatmeal and sprinkle nuts on top. Eat plenty of beans, fish and skinless chicken breast.
10. To counteract a binge, keep your body's fat-burning furnace running on full blast by drinking Green Tea.
Green Tea contains caffeine and the antioxidant epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) , which is proven to boost metabolic rate. In fact, in a recent 3 month study, participants who took Green Tea extract lost 4.6% of their body weight without changing their diet. To get the benefit, drink at least 3 cups a day.
Whenever I ate too much, I just drink green tea and I don't have to worry gaining weight.
11. Speed weight loss and double energy levels by eating Coconuts.
This tropical treats contain medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), a unique fat that is shuttled straight to the liver and immediately burned for fuel. Research shows this little detour revs metabolic rate by up to 50%, speeding weight loss and doubling energy levels
Plus my favorite tip : Before you eat, drink a glass of water. This will help you feel fuller without additional calories (water has no calories). And Satisfy sweet cravings and keep your stomach full longer by eating all-natural fruits.

Seeing how you are only 19, my first question is: "has this been a life-long problem for you?"
The second question is "Have you just tried cutting your portion sizes in half and adding an additional small meal to your schedule?"

i had this weight loss plan but i don't know if it will work for you because it's quite troublesome, as in you got to count your calories and such. but i lost about 10 kg (22 pounds) in 2 months so i thought i'd share this with you.
1) eat regular meals. make sure it's 3 regular meals at regular times. this is to let your body adjust to having food at a fixed time and therefore increase your metabolic rate so you're burning fats even when your body is at rest.
2) drink lots of water. for your build you need about 3 to 4 litres of water, and if you exercise you're gonna need more. this is to reduce your % body fats by flushing them out with water. this is very important.
3) assuming you're exercising 1 to 3 times a weeks, and the max you should lose a week is actually about 2 pounds. that means your daily intake of calories should be about 1670 cal. that's about 919 cal (230 gm) of carbs, 251 cal (63 gm) of protein, 501 cal (56 gm) of unsaturated fats. so make sure your meals consists of all these. it's not about cutting down carbs or fats. your meals should be colourful and balanced. of course cut down on deep-fried foods or food that are too oily. for now. maintain a healthy diet while you're still losing weight so you can see results faster.
hope this helps. good luck! (:

Exercise and eat healthy foods.
I am on low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein and brisk walking. I have lost 31lbs/14kg and have been maintaining my 108lbs/49kg for more than a year.
All the details in my blog.

Wow, yeah, I agree with some of the other answers here... if you're looking for something fast or effective, no one is going to be able to give you a direct and sure-fire answer. There are so many factors in losing weight that it's inconceivable to think that someone can tell you exactly what works. Metabolism, daily eating habits, excercise, and about a billion other things can determine how fast or effeciently someone can lose weight.
Whatever you do, and your doctor can confirm this, you have to make a life-long decision to keep your body at its proper weight. Weight loss dieting rarely works because typically people cannot commit their entire life to one specific set of foods. Excercise is absolutely important, but sometimes that won't even take you where you want to be. You have to figure out what works best specifically for YOUR body, and stick with it. Likewise it needs to be reasonable. Good health is important, so if you're serious about making a life-long commitment to good health, you're just going to have to feel your way through the process.
Remember this... your body is made up of all the foods you have eaten within the last 6 months. If you're not satisfied with your weight, then this is a good place to start taking note of what NOT to do. From there it is all just trial and error.
