I dont see anything THUS FAR where you are controlling your DIET, In my opinion if the DIET is messed up (caloric energy equation, and ratios of nutrients), then the REST is messed up (your DIET MUST compliment the goal you are seeking). And, this is correct there IS NO MAGIC PILL. Even those whom are classified as obese, and get their stomach tied,,,,,are meeting the laws of energy balance because it makes them feel fuller and.......they eat less, and THUS expend more than they eat. Do yourself a HUGE favor and dont believe the hype on over the counter so called fat loss pills and the alike.
The most beneficial thing you can do: Is educate yourself on weight loss from REPUTATABLE web sites and/or books, and when you do, you will learn fairly quickly that it is the POWERFUL CALORIE that makes the MAIN difference in weight loss. One MUST be in a caloric deficit to loss weight, and a small reasonable surplus to gain weight (like gaining muscle).
If you research and correct your diet and have exercise compliment this, you will be on your way. One more thing, for every -3500 caloric deficit accumulated (all things considered equal), will net approximate 1lb of fat loss (now thats not withstanding that it may be possible to lose a bit if muscle as well, but lets not get too overly complicated)
