help me lose some bloody pounds

OK! Listen up you fat bastard. Here's what works. Strip down naked. I mean NAKED! Stand in front a a mirror and stare and your lard ass. I mean take a good fuckin' look! After that you'll do whatever it takes to get the fat off your ass, and keep it off.
Worked for me. Lost 70 lbs. and have kept it off for 15+ years. Sorry to be so harsh!

Most fat/sedentary people overestimate the amount of exercise it takes to lose weight without adjusting diet.

You can jog 1 hour a day, 3 days a week (which is an incredible amount of exercise for some people), and in a month you will burn 7200 calories, which works out to a whopping 2 pounds of fat. And after working out so hard, people get hungry and feel like they earned a bucket of ice cream and some pizza. So their 1 hour of exercise burned 550 calories but the meal that followed was 750 calories. duh, no wonder exercise alone does not work.
 
If you want something very simple and mindless just eat 5 meals a day. Each meal must be no larger than what fits under your open hand on a plate (ie you must be able to cover the food on the plate with your hand or the equivalent, obviously without piling it on, it can be no thicker than your hand either). You have to wait 2 hours at least after eating one meal before you have another. If you just do this you can eat what you want and not exercise and you will lose weight if you are currently overweight. No snacking or juices or anything except water(8 glasses a day) outside of this plan. If you have a cup of juice you have to include it in the volume allowed for one of your five meals. Take a quality multi vitamin mineral made from whole food rather than synthetic. The above alone should boost your energy levels and start the weight loss process which will motivate you to add in healthier foods and exercise. You have to eat all 5 meals seperately and can not combine 2 because you missed one earlier in the day. Significantly reducing carbs in your diet will significantly reduce cravings.

To speed the process try and eat healthy foods high in protein low in fat with at least 20% of your daily food intake coming from some form of green veg. Walk a mile a day. Adding some weights (dumbbells to make it easy at home) to the process three times a week for 20-30 mins per session and the pounds will fall off.

By the way, I devised this plan for my 65 yr old mother in law and she lost 27lbs + in two months eating very unhealthy food (ice cream and pizza several times a week) and walking 1/2 a mile 4-5 times a week.

I think you confused veges and fruit with pork and eggs. :p
There's some good advice in this thread (from Thunderdog and others). The rest, not so good. The guy defending white sugar, flour and pasta is funny. Go and educate yourself before spouting off such ignorant and potentially dangerous advice.
To the TS, cut out crap like white flour, white sugar, white pasta, junk food, sugar covered cereals, soda etc.
All of that stuff has next to NO nutritional value whatsoever. That means your body is living off food that it can't really do anything with, apart from giving you health complications.
Eat more brown bread, brown pasta, oatmeal, whole wheat cereals, fish, chicken, lean steak, cereal, nuts, fruit, veges etc.
Eat this stuff and eat a lot of it, like 6+ meals per day. It will speed up your metabolism and burn fat, not to mention make you feel 300% better.
Taking some omega-3 fish oil tablets is also a good idea.
Last, exercise. Walking is fine, but if you're young and have 2 legs, there's no reason why you can't mix things up and sprint every now and then. You only need short, sharp sprints, they will work wonders for your lung capacity. Do this on grass, it's softer on the joints. Pushups are also good, and if you're strong enough, chinups/pullups.
What you're left with is a body which is burning highly nutritional food and turning it into lean muscle, whilst exponentially increasing your life expectancy.
I could go on and on, but maybe that's enough to wet your appetite.

Like it or not it all starts with portion control. It is easy and works fast and will kick start you in to a more sustainable way of life along the lines of what you suggested above. Other than that I agree with everything you wrote and more smaller meals is better than 5 but realistically not achievable for many. You are still incorrect about the unlimited fruits and veg (mostly because people will gorge on high sugar fruits like Mango and pineapple and eat few veg in that scenario). A good resource is Bill Phillips Body for life book and his EAS supplements are also good quality. The basic premise is that your body is a furnace and if you keep feeding it small amounts (frequent small meals)) of high octane fuel (like high protein, low glycemic index complex carbs, and unsaturated fat from things like nuts and olive oil) it will burn hot and burn everything it can get its hands on (like your fat stores). exercise makes it burn hotter, and doing weights is like throwing lighter fluid on the fire. Dumping large amounts of carbs like sugar and white flour items in large quantities essentially douses the furnace. Having one big meal a day starves the furnace of the fuel it needs to burn hot and sends the body in to conservation and storage mode to survive between fuelings. Complex carbs like whole grains are great because they are a fuel that lasts between meals to keep the furnace burning hot. When you hit the sweet spot and have revved your metabolism significantly (can be done in as little as a few weeks if you are dedicated and do things in the right sequence) the pounds will really drop off. For those that don't have the motivation to really get in to a program seriously just do the 5 meals as big as your hand, some walking, and go from there. If you can do your walking as soon as you get up and before you eat and follow it with a breakfast high in protein and complex carbs. Source of life multi vitamin and multi mineral are also great as they are from whole foods rather than synthetics which means your body actually absorbs as much as 80% vs 5% of the material in some cases.

I KNOW ALL ABOUT exercise and the right food, don't insult me by suggesting I didn't do research
