Nobody's ever died of starvation. So I suggest you Starve

@topic
to add to what most people have said, reducing is not the issue its to maintain it, so i suggest a lot of exercises to back it up.

heart break will go a long way,don't mind me . just mind what you put in your mouth,and run away from fast food center also if you have been eating full meal cut it to half. exercises will also help.

please don't forget to add Garlic to all they have prescribe, you may hate the smell, but it's really inevitable for you.

@poster, counting calories will be most difficult as with many eating suggestions that have been laid out here albeit good-intentioned.

starve urself
