The best ways to lose weight always include replacing fad diets with sensible eating and crazy exercises with a solid workout of your favorite physical activity.

There’s really no magical formula you can use to lose weight. Sorry, you’ve come to the wrong place. Fad diets may help you lose weight, but the pounds almost certainly will quickly return.
