You know what helps? Eating small meals. I personally eat 4 times a day, but they are small meals. Like an apple, a salad, etc. I know plenty of people who starve themselves in effort to 'loose' weight, but that in itself is the antithesis of weight loss and healthy practice.
By starving yourself or only 'eating once a day' you are starving your body and confusing your digestive system; and slows metabolic growth and processes. Hence, when you do eat, your body will have a hard time to metabolize the consumed food, hence a manifestation in weight gain.
Don't starve yourself, eat regularly, the point I'm trying to stress is containing and controlling urges to 'cheat' or 'snack'. Believe me, ive been there, and done that. So far I've lost about 22 lbs through my dieting. What really helps is not excessive cardio work out, that merely stretches the body. What really is effective is weight lifting. You don't have to indulge in heavy weights, you can start of doing bench presses with 20 lbs, curls with 15 lbs, and working out your obliques, your trapezius, your intercostals, etc. Go slow.
For the beginners out there, i suggest starting with 20-25 lb barbells or dumbbells--maintain a fixed routine and when your feel your muscles ascertaining, then slowly increase the dumbbell weight. Muscles will get acclimated to a certain weight--keep on changing and increasing it to keep the momentum.
Don't exceed your physical limitations. Overdoing things can result to ligamental, tendon and muscular stress. Be realistic. Be faithful to the routine. And most of all, make sure you have a healthy balanced diet when engaging weight training.
