Losing weight does not have to be about starving yourself. Such a path is dangerous and should not be followed under any circumstances. What you have to do is attempt to achieve a balances diet which will allow time for your metabolism to burn the extra fat.
Starving yourself or completely removing a type of food from your diet will only cause a lot more problems than the extra weight. The only way to properly lose weight is to commit to a strict schedule that will show results over time.
