You don't need to diet. When you eat, you only need to eat half of your usual meal. You'd better not eat dinner. What you eat for dinner tends to gain weight. Not eating at night can not only lose weight, but also reduce the pressure on various organs of the body and let the body rest early at night, which is also very good for the body.
For people who want to lose weight, exercise is essential. If you want to lose 55 pounds in half a year, it is essential to exercise for two hours every day. Now the weather is cold, I recommend you to go to the gym and have a professional coach.
