I thought this would turn into an amusing thread, and GFY did not disappoint!
By losing weight I can only assume that you want to lose fat and preserve as much muscle mass as possible.
Therefore,
1) Figure out your BMR and consume ~ 500 calories a day less (I'm not getting into ratios of protein / carbs / fat because the different natural body types - mesomorphs, endomorphs and ectomorphs, must eat differently to achieve the same results). Use common sense. Tuna on whole grain with a side of brocoli is better for you than lasagna and 3 sticks of garlic bread. Try to keep most of your carb intake earlier in the day, not at dinner time.
2) Do cardio. Yes, at LEAST an hour a day of low intensity cardio. Preferably 45 minutes to an hour in the morning while fasted, and 45 minutes to an hour later in the day (but not too close to bed time).
3) Weight train. None of this low weight high rep bullshit. Lift heavy (to preserve (and since you would essentially be a beginner, you might even be able to build muscle) what strength and lean tissue that you do have.
4) Supplements. Don't go crazy, but some whey protein, a good multivitamin and some essential fats (yes, fats) will do wonders.
