No, it isn't easy.
The solution depends on the reason you're overweight.
There are three reasons for being overweight:
- Lack of knowledge about healthy living/poor habits
- A compulsion to overeat
- Slow metabolism/poor digestion
Research and common sense shows that going on a diet doesn't work. You may lose weight, but you'll gain it back. Just look at your own experience or that of the people around you.
