Hmm well there are no good short cuts. The best solution is to commit yourself over the next year and lose the weight over that time.

I would recommend you watching YouTube videos called six pack short cuts. Watch Mike Chang's techniques for getting ripped quickly. Six Pack Short Cuts . com could help. Just have to pay attention to Mike Chang's tips on working out.

It's the simplest diet ever, I lost 26 lbs in 3 months just by eating snacks every three hours (no exercise) lol oh and occasional cheating on weekends. Um it's breakfast , snack, snack, snack, and dinner. By snack I mean for example, an apple and crackers, protein bar, or protein shack. Etc .

So you know, you can eat less often, but the same number of calories. There's zero metabolic advantage to eating so often, despite what people might tell you.

Exercise, spicy food, lots of fiber, veggies, and water.

Some things to note. Spicy food doesn't necessarily improve metabolism. Eat it because you enjoy it, because there's not much else to it.
The body can't digest insoluble fiber, but the soluble stuff gets absorbed better (and we can digest it, so that's a plus).

But it's true. While you can lose weight through diet alone, to maximize your caloric deficit, you either starve yourself, or eat a little bit more, and start exercising yourself into the deficit.

Don't look for shortcuts, they don't work, or don't work as advertised.

Not necessarily it doesn't, no, but it can't hurt.
And while you can't digest insoluble fiber it does give you that "full" feeling faster.

Then there's no reason to ingest them unless you like them.
Last I checked, nutrients play a much stronger role in satiety. Starving one's body of nutrition is just going to make one hungry soon after eating.

Or unless you want to give it a try. It works some, doesn't for others.
That's kind of an extreme conclusion to arrive to. It doesn't make /that/ big of a difference unless all you eat is a roughage, and at that point you'd be better off just dragging your mandible through the nearest forest floor.

It does work, for about 30 minutes, and then it stops. This boost is about 5-10%, and is lucky to get over 100 calories, but this burst happens for just about everything you eat anyway, and has a varying number of calories that are expended anyway.
I was suggesting that, instead of focusing on fiber for satiety, one should focus on nutrition instead. There are, however, very nutritious foods that contain fiber as well, but eating them simply for the fiber to feel "full" isn't the way to go about it.

True, but spicy food can give people that feeling of, for a lack of a better term, activation. Most other food does not despite the temporary metabolic boost. And even while not conclusive, there is still some evidence to suggest that it makes it more intense and/or last longer. Small differences can add up, it just depends on whether or not it's worth it to the individual.
A bowling split of different philosophies then. And while I agree with the fact that nutrition plays a greater role in satiety, Insoluble Fiber does play a role. It's another idiosyncrasy of the individual's gastric preferences, as some also prefer the feeling of having eaten a decent volume in addition to the nutritional requirements.
