Trust me, it won't.
Truly healthy diet (as in what you eat, not a thing you go on to lose weight) and exercise results in weight loss. I sum up my lifestyle change--because it isn't a diet, it's a lifestyle change--in one easy to remember phrase: Eat more fiber and move your ass. Meaning, eat a lot of food with reasonable to high fiber content (ie fruits and veggies, carbs with high fiber like whole wheat bread, high fiber cereal, oatmeal, Clif bars) and move your ass (exercise). But don't go overboard. The Buddha was right when he taught about the Middle Way--all things, including eating well and exercising--should be done in moderation.
