You sound like you're talking about Gimmicks. Gimmicks don't work. Read this, and you'll be happy for the rest of your life. Also, consult your medical professional about your heart condition and lifting.

Language is blunt, but truth is truth. I hope it helps.

Well buddy, I'm learning new ways of losing weight myself. All I can say is regular exercise, healthy foods (or less junk food even if you eat a minimal amount anyway) and discipline! (Which is one I'm still trying to learn myself! )

Try Broccoli soup, (I'm going to make a batch today if I can) easy to make:

Full of goodness, helps metabolise things that little bit faster as well as packs a punch in the immune system

#1. Weight is a sum of calorie intake minus calories burned. 3,000 calories is worth about 1 lb. so cut out 6,000 calories a week and you can steadily lose about 2 lbs a week. Don't try to do it all at once. You'll just lose muscle tone. Count calories and plan your meals. Check your weight first thing every morning. You'll see it vary a pound or two but if it's not moving down an average of 2 lbs within a week either increase the exercise or decrease the calorie intake.

#2. Eat your food in smaller more frequent meals. Don't snack between meals, eat lunch in 2 smaller segments.

#3. Drink plenty of water.

#4. As some have noted all foods are not equal. Higher protein, low-fat foods and complex carbs (Yes, I love carbs) take longer for your body to digest and will be less likely to be stored as fat.

#5 Pick one day a week where you don't count calories. Give yourself a break. We're talking about a life-long habit not a quick fix here so be reasonable. If you eat good most of the week you can eat half a cake some times and it's okay.

#6 Make better bad choices. So you absolutely feel like you need to eat something. Try something like eating un-shelled sunflower seeds. You'll get the satisfaction of eating without the 250 - 300 calories you get from normal snacks.

Will you be hungry some times? Probably so but it's more mental than anything. You're not going to have stomach cramps or unhealthy side effects. Most of the time when you eat out of hunger you could just as easily do an activity to get your mind off of food. You're probably just bored. Once you realize this is more a mental game than a physical one you're on your way to being more healthy.
