Let's face it. There are tons of information out today about how to lose weight. Some are good and others are not so good. I am sure that you have seen the ads, "how to lose 30 pounds in 10 days" or something to that effect.

The formula for weight loss is simple. "Burn more calories than what you consume"

Now, there a two major ways of losing weight. 1) the healthy way or 2) the unhealthy way. Now, for those who are interested in losing weight the healthy way, you can do so by following one of three approaches:

1) limited your food intake,
2) increase your activity level while maintaining your current food intake or
3) limit your food intake and increase your activity level (source)

The best in terms of effectiveness is method three. In other words, a person should reduce his/her caloric consumption at the same time increase his/her activity level.
