No, there are no easy ways to loose weight. You will loose weight if you stop eating, or do not eat as much, if you exercise, if you undergo surgery, but none of these ways are easy they take discipline and at the slow rate in which the weight is burned off, it is easier to put the weight back on than it is to loose it.
