low Carb diet is the best & if you use: myfitnesspal they will work out the carbs for you & then you decide how many carbs a day you wish to consume. At the moment, since 6th of this month I have been mainly 20g or under daily & have losy 2.5KPg. I do also go running 3 times a week but it is not neccesary to run but you do also need to exercise, a20 - 30 minute walk daily will be of a good help
