Eat less. Exercise more. Wash, rinse, repeat.
That is true for the most part. 1 gram of carbohydrates contains 9 calories, while 1 gram of protein contains only 4 calories. You can eat the same amount of food, possibly even more and still have a lower calorie intake.
For cardio, the interval method works best for me. That not only shocks your body, which is what you want, it also increases my metabolism, which burns more calories. Then different days work out different muscle groups: chest+tris, back+bis, shoulder+foreams, legs, repeat....
I've been doing this for about 2 years now and it has worked pretty well.
