can't get much simpler than that.
People use a lot of calories each day to stay alive. If you don't get enough calories you will starve to death.

Seriously, that sums up what I was gonna say, eat less and be more active.
I have found that Weight Watchers has the most sensible approach, combining getting enough caloric intake of the right kinds of foods with encouragement to get out and move and teaching good eating habits that you can carry through the rest of your life without fads, schemes, easy pills that NEVER EVER WORK in the long term or forcing you to buy their branded foods like Jenny Craig and others.
