There is no easy way to lose weight. 

Anyone saying otherwise is trying to sell a system. 

It is a challenge between reducing energy intake, maintaining muscle and bone mass, ensuring hormonal levels are stable and slowly allowing fat mass to decrease. 

This is pretty much the only way for fat to shift and stay off. 

The commercial weight loss clubs are brilliant for support and basic nutritional advice but there is little evidence that the points or programmes offer any other benefit over self management in a well educated and motivated individual. 

However you do it, getting your weight down to a healthy point, with a BMI below 25 is probably the single most important thing you can do to improve your health, other than not smoking.
