<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

Sorry, but you're out of luck. Try the diet pills. Try drinking diet soda. Try the wraps. Try anything you want. Unfortunately, the only proven way to lose weight and keep it off is diet and exercise. 

I know it's hard. I know it isn't fun, at least most of the time and definitely not in the beginning. But guess what? When you lose 10 pounds, you'll feel like you have seriously accomplished something! You'll know it wasn't water weight that you'll regain in a week. It was YOUR hard work and sweat! There's no easy way out, guys. Losing weight is such hard work that you'll know better next time not to just eat whatever you want whenever you want! You'll look at that big mac and remember your mile run from that morning and think hell no. 

Consult your physician before you diet or start working out. Not a dietitian. Not a personal trainer. Not a nutritionist. Your physician, the one who has been to medical school and had to learn the physiological effects of losing weight through diet and exercise. They can tell you how to start and how much they think your body can handle, and believe you me it's quite a bit more than you would think. 

But above all: be safe, be responsible, and keep being you, because you're awesome.
<bot>: I've been up all night and thought I'd put this out there... Nothing new, but hey maybe someone will read this and it'll change their perspective.
