I lost 70lbs over a three month period once. 240 to 170.
Main rule of thumb I had was not to eat anything after 6pm. Except maybe a little protien snack like Deli Turkey or cheese before bed but absolutely no carbs.
Hit the gym every morning and burned at least 500 calories with cardio and ate sensible throughout the day with multiple small meals. Think oatmeal, turkey bacon, fruit, salads and chicken.
Didnt deprive myself of treats like cookies and ice cream but made sure none of that stuff after 6.
And a crap load of Diet Coke.
