This is about the best way to lose weight fast in a healthy way and how to stop the weight from returning. Eat a good healthy diet, but restrict refined processed carbohydrates. They are a major cause of weight gain. In addition, engage in regular cardio exercise. This is the best approach.
Yes, the best way to lose weight and keep it off is to eliminate or strictly limit refined processed carbohydrates (apart from the occasional treat). Replace refined processed carbohydrates with 'fat burning' foods. If you are unsure what these foods are, you will find a list of refined processed carbohydrates and a list of fat burning foods, further down this page, listed under Sources and Related Links. Also, do regular cardio exercise. Brisk walking is a good choice of cardio exercise; unlike running or jogging it is sustainable long term and easier on your body.
If you wish to add more to the dietary changes outlined above, and the cardio exercise, weigh training can be used to increase muscle. Muscle is your metabolic furnace that will burn extra energy (calories) 24 hours a day. Similarly, brisk walking (cardio) for several miles daily will burn extra calories during and immediately after walks. (Before changing your physical habits, you may wish to obtain the blessing of your physician.)

In summary, eliminate or strictly limit refined processed carbohydrates, replace those foods with more fat burning foods, engage in cardio exercise, and add weight training if you are able. Even without weight training, the other things will enable you to achieve fat loss in a healthy way and stop the body fat from returning.
