Diet exercise behavior modification
If anyone tells you about this that and the other thing, do not believe them. There is only one way to lose weight effectively, and that is by eating less than you burn. That is a hard truth to accept, especially in childhood, but nontheless, it is the only truth worth believing. A mix of exercise and reduced caloric intake will lead to a healthy weight loss - 3 lbs. per week is not unrealistic.
