One diet actually doesn’t quite fit all. While you will lose weight by cutting down on junk and moving a bit no matter what your body shape, you can tailor your diet and exercise to suit your natural shape for the quickest way to lose weight.

The most effective day to day diet is a body type diet, which takes account of whether you are a mesomorph, endomorph or ectomorph.

What you eat and how often depends on how sensitive you are to carbs (endomorph) and how many fuel top ups you need throughout your day (lots for an ectomorph)

Whether you focus on cardio or resistance style exercise depends on your body type, though a mesomorph gains the most benefit from any exercise s/he does.

The most comprehensive guide to eating and exercising for your body type that I have ever read (300+ pages of usable facts) is from Tom Venuto, who produced the bible of weight loss Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle.
