The problem is: how much do you really want to lose weight? Are you seriously prepared to sacrifice to reach that goal?
If the answer is yes here is the ONLY way to do that: change your habits!
The trick is all here. Start each meal eating vegetables and fruits, and do not use all those fatty seasonings, but, simply, a little olive oil, a little (very little) salt and as much vinegar as you like.
Then, after this, wait 5 minutes before eating next course.
This will fill your stomach and lower your hunger. Moreover, it will lower your blood pressure and help your digestion and your intestine.
Then always eat simple food, and avoid to mix them: flesh only, or cheese only or eggs only... and vegetables, tons of vegetables.
Finally, take your ass off your chair and go out: run or bicycle or tennis or football or any other sport / fitness. As an example, go walking every day for half an hour (hey, walking doesn't mean dragging your feet one after the other... i mean walking... something like 4 km / hour).
So, change your habit this way and you will lose that fatty thing hanging around you, and your healt will rise.
Just one more thing. I've tried all this stuff. I stop this torture after two months; my weight is 95 kg, and I'm still carrying around my "tummy".
