The solution truly is simple: eat right and exercise. The problem is that people do not want to take the time do those things. That is why motivation is essential. If people want to lose weight, but have no motivation, then they start to turn to TV miracle cures and other such junk that just takes their money and puts their health at risk.

Motivation!

This is the key, it really is. Weight loss does not need to take money out of your wallet. If you are truely dedicated to losing weight and staying heathy, all it really takes is time. Make yourself a plan of when you will exercise, and give it to your friends so that they can keep you honest and take part in keeping you motivated. Even better, have them exercise with you! That is a fantastic way to enjoy the exercise. So involve your friends and your family!

As for eating right, start out with sticking to these two principles: 1) avoid fast food 2) avoid soda. If you can do those things, then you are already ahead of the game. Both of those things are very bad for you and pack in the calories, sugar, and fat. So if it is at all possible, avoid those two things. Also, avoid eating large amounts of bread, pasta, etc. Although they are not inherently bad for you, those things have very high amounts carbohydrates. If you do not want to avoid bread entirely, I suggest replacing any "white bread" that you eat with whole grain bread. White bread actually boosts the amount of sugar in your body by extremely high amounts, which is shocking to many people. Whole wheat and grain bread is a much healthier alternative.

Furthurmore, seek out your fruits and vegetables! They are extremely heatlhy for you, and near to nothing as far as adding to your weight. So when it comes to those, go ahead and chow down! Although protein is a necessity, so are fruits and veggies, and they won't add to your weight.

Do yourself a huge favor, and do not rely on complex "fixes" to being overweight. The solution is simple, and I have presented for you a general outline for its execution. Although it certainly takes motivation if you want to see results, it is as simple as eating right and exercise. Society and the media has falsley made such a huge affair out of the issue, stealing money out of people's wallets with miracles cures and other such nonsense, when in truth the solution is right under our noses. Don't be fooled, you're better than that. Fitness can start right at home, right now, product free.
