Eating 5 or 6 small meals a day is the best way to diet (as long as it's not chips, burger, and cake for each meal!), as it keeps your metabolism burning almost constantly.
If you're not taking in enough protein (e.g. lean meat, eggs, oats, etc.) then some of the weight loss will also be muscle mass, as the body finds it easier to burn muscle than fat - this is known as "catabolism". This is doubly bad, as the more muscle you have, the more energy you burn.
And if anyone wants to exercise but is pressed for time, try googling "Tabata"- 8 minutes of high intensity exercise but better for burning fat than a 30 minute run! Be prepared to throw up the first few times, if you're as unfit as me!
