According to medical experts, the best way to lose weight is to control the amount of food you eat, forcing your body to take calories from its reserves, which are excess fat. Accordingly, eat enough nutrients but eat less, divide into many small meals to reduce the total number of calories you take in; reduce fatty, greasy, sweet foods and increase vegetables, fruits, soy milk... combined with increased exercise, at least 1 hour of walking per day.
