I am overweight and I was looking to lose weight, but nothing has worked for me in the past. What are some easy and effective methods of weight loss that will work?

Try to get more information on dieting, weight loss articles, health and fitness articles, weight loss forum and BMI calculator at my profile and get the advise from them to lose weight fast and healthy.

The best thing you can do is not look at it as a quick and easy task. It is totally about lifestyle changes. Cut out all the things you know are bad. Try to embrace the idea of eating natural foods, things that aren't processed. Plenty of fruits and veggies, lean meat, no soda, no junk. And try to work in a brisk walk a few times a week...but if you can't, don't sweat it. I assure you, if you change your eating habits and remember, everything in moderation, you will see great sucess by the end of this year. And since you lost it slowly, it is more likely to be permanent.

Losing weight is a simple equation: if you burn more calories than you eat, the weight will come off. Start off by estimating how many calories you burn each day using the daily calorie needs calculator http://straighthealth.com/pages/tools/ca... This will give you an idea of how many calories to eat. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. To lose 1 pound per week you need to create a calorie deficit (burn more than you eat) of 500 calories per day. To lose 2 pounds a week, you have to double the deficit to 1000 calories per day. You can achieve this by eating less, exercising more or a combination of both.
