Best Answer

If you reduce your calorie intake too much you may semi-starve yourself and your metabolism may slow down. In addition, if you have a degree of insulin resistance (many people have without being aware of it) you may find it too hard, or even impossible, to lose weight with diet alone.

The best way is to make healthier eating choices, limit junk food, limit refined (processed) carbohydrates and engage in cardio exercise or cardio sport activities. In addition, if you are able, engage in weight training to build muscle. The more muscle we have the more calories we burn. Muscle burns calories 24 hours per day and not just when you are exercising.
