Alter your food intake to a more balanced approach and stick to it, no exercise needed provided you keep it up.

its a nice way of learning to cook in a healthier way, and gives more options to add to your normal meals.
You can reduce the meat down without removing it altogether, and stealing some ideas from the vegans is a good way to go

One of the issues with the modern diet is insulin resistance, which leads to T2 diabetes (which used to be known as sugar diabetes until it became widespread).
I've been on a low carb high fat (healthy fat) 'diet' for over four months now and would not go back to the -bread / pasta / rice / sugar - western diet.
Funny thing is we've not evolved to have 3 square meals a day, healthy or otherwise. For our biology I think being constantly fed and never really hungry is probably silly, it's supposed to be a cycle of hunger and feeding. Like I said above, I already eat healthily but fasting for short periods occasionally I find beneficial.
Ultimately lifestyle needs to be addressed if that is your problem, but it doesn't make fasting a bad thing, especially considering the benefits that are being associated with fasting, such as reversing insulin resistance and increasing HGH.
The thing with diet, weight loss, lifestyle change etc etc is that it's become a "thing" - an internet babble topic, a marketing tool and a soapbox subject. It's become massively over complicated and is a great subject to base scientific funding or a book around. Hence at any given time you can find "evidence" to support each and every fad or theory you can imagine.
For instance - carbs are bad, or no they are good. Fat is bad, or no you need to eat fat to burn fat. BREAD IS THE DEVIL!!!! And on it goes.
If bread is so bad, how come we've been eating it for millennia?? Bread isn't bad, its great. Eating loads of crap nasty cheap bread isn't the best thing to do, but a bit of bread in a balanced diet is fine.
Carbs aren't bad at all. Carbs are good for you. So is fat. The problems start when you over eat any particular food.
Fruit diet - bad. Loads of sugar, and your guts will turn into Chernobyl.
In my experience the way to manage your weight and more importantly your health is to do the bleeding obvious things:
Eat a varied diet,
Cook fresh
Save takeaways, cake, biscuits, booze and that for treats - they aren't things that you should be eating as a matter of course really.
Don't eat meat with every meal - we don't need to, and it knackers you up if you do. Eat good meat and fish. not the cheap mass produced stuff. If the good stuff is too expensive, just eat less of it, and eat more veg.
Drink water, not sugary drinks. Worst drink? Energy drinks - pure crap in a can. Tooth rot and gut rot
move around a bit. We've got bodies that are good at moving and doing stuff, so don't let it seize up.
Don't obsess about it - take and interest in and enjoy good fresh food.
Otherwise, I'm all for the sensible ones mentioned above... eat less of the same stuff and move more, cutting down on worst offenders like bread, fry-ups, booze and chips.
I tried The Swimming Pool Diet, but it just made me bloated.
I cut out food with palm oil, and granted, my lady friend helped a lot too with good food. That meant I cut out most chocolate, crisps, yoghurts, bread etc, as nearly everything has palm oil. I ate a lot more freshly cooked food, homemade soups, stews, salads, porridge etc. Fruit, fruit smoothies.
I was able to not go hungry and satisfy my sweet cravings. Since the operation, I've fallen off the wagon and gained around 5KG, but it can be done with very little exercise.
The hardest part for me is will power and discipline, and I'm still falling off the wagon every other week.
I also cut out booze.
I started doing intermittent fasting diets which worked for a while but I soon lapsed due to life getting in the way e.g. kids bath times pushing me to eat during fasting periods. Whilst I was doing it though I felt great! More alert, lighter etc.
Since creating this thread I have cut out a large proportion of shit foods from my diet. I haven't eaten crisps, chocolate, cakes etc and I don't snack between meals. There have been the odd bumps e.g. if people come round I may have the odd beer.
Anyway, I stepped on the scales this morning and was just a bit over 12.5 stone. I dont know exactly where I was when I started but I must have been at or close to 13st.
I feel loads better for it already.
My problem is too much will power and not enough won't power when it comes to snacks and comfort food
