Sleep well, eat right and exercise. You'll have your best success if you do all three. Named diets alone, which most of us try over and over, won't get you long term success.
I do CrossFit for exercise, which I first heard about right here on HN, thank you very much. Unless you already know exercise technique really well, I would recommend actually joining a crossfit gym rather than just doing the workouts from the web. They'll teach you how to exercise correctly and safely. Do you know how to squat properly? Probably not. :)
I'm over fifty, out of shape and haven't exercised since I graduated high school. I've been going to CrossFit since this July, and I now jog six flights of stairs up and down at work (at 5,000 feet in Denver), and the workouts that wiped me out in the beginning are now merely really difficult. You don't have to be a jock, they scale everything to your ability. I'm really pleased. Check it out. Probably more than one near you.
Crossfit-style work outs are great. I used to participate in a class that did very intense work outs three times a week. Also, look up what tabata runs are, they did wonders for my endurance.
