In fact, it's a combination of two things.
Eating right - this is ridiculously easy! In three few words, all you really need to know about dieting - Don't Eat Sugar.
Okay it's a little more than that, but honestly that's enough, as sugar is the #1 thing that gets people out of shape and possibly into obesity.
I'd even bet money that the reason that you are not in the shape you desire is at least partially because of sugar.
The second part: Exercise.
Duh.
This is the part where the secret to it isn't what you think.
In fact, the best way to burn fat with exercising can be summarized in four words: HIIT, or High Intensity Interval Training.
Basically, this is where you go ALL OUT and give it everything you got for just a short period of time, up to 20 seconds or so, and then rest for a period of time, and then you hit it again.
HIIT is proven by scientists to be nine times more effective than low intensity exercises such as jogging, and this is because it continues to burn fat even after the exercise is completed - for several hours even.
That description should definitely have made it clear to you that something like traditional jogging does NOT fit the HIIT criteria.
Here's a really, really powerful exercise which will burn fat off your body for hours, and it's running but definitely not jogging.
You basically just run as fast as you can for about 15 seconds or so, at a really high intensity...
and then you walk for 1 to 2 minutes, and then you go all out again for another 15 seconds.
If you can repeat that for about 6 times then you know you're getting somewhere.
