Some of these regimens are a bit extreme. Crazboo's sounds about right; but if you're not sure about heavy exercise at first, you can ease in by walking for at least 20 minutes three times a day. Get dinner out of the way by 7 pm, and if you really have to eat a snack after that, eat an apple. Apparently they take so much energy to digest that you about break even when eating one. I knew a guy who went on a nutritionist-guided diet, and they let him eat all the apples he wanted, any time. He still lost a lot of weight.

If you drink a lot of sugared soft drink, cutting it out and replacing it with club soda or sparkling mineral water is a moderately painless way to cut a lot of calories. Each soft drink is about 150 cals. If you were drinking three a day, cutting them would save 450 calories right there and probably not increase your hunger. This isn't enough to give you the weight loss you want, but you should incorporate it in any weight regimen you choose. Same with beer, sorry to say.
