Weight / Fat loss

many people put on weight without realising, I know, I did, and do almost every christmas! but I managed to lose 2 stone in 3 months by just cutting out bread and pasta, and by drinking 2.5l of water a day, I think the water was the biggest thing,

Actually it would be the lack of grains (bread/pasta). They tend to cause insulin fun and games in the body, leading to long term weight gain.
