If I ask this on a runner site, I am told to run.
If I ask this on a dieters' site, I am told to stave myself. (Not gonna happen.)
So I have to go beyond the simplest question. As stated in anther thread, I need to learn how to coach myself. This being said, if I wanted to be competitive, I would have to have a real coach.
Whatever site you visit, if you wish to lose weight you need to "starve yourself". It is very unlikely that you will succeed unless you make sure that the calories you consume are outweighed by those you burn. Obviously, the amount of exercise you do will determine how much you can eat and still remain in calorie deficit, but whatever exercise regimen you choose, if you just eat and drink whatever you want you'll be unlikely to lose much weight.
