I'm trying the no diet - Atkins diet. Cutting down on carbs and watching the rest. Need to lose more than half a stone!

It's by far the best way to lose weight, no dramatic weight loss then trying to figure out how to adapt your lifestyle before you put it back on again. Wish more people would try this way rather than fad diets

I am on a program of weight loss and doing quite well. I fully agree that for anyone like myself who have to adjust body mass by a significant amount (nearly 50% in my case) it is important to embark on what will become a permanent change of eating habits. Best to do that gradually over a period of time rather than crash diets so you get used to it. The only difference when I get to my taget weight will be the amount I eat not the choices.

Go vegan! Pretty much all the bad stuff is unavailable to you, like red meat and dairy (especially cheese). Takes a bit of willpower but you'll be healthier and more environmentally friendly.

I've lost 11 pounds in just under a month...crash dieting? no...I just eat the same things mostly stodgy comfort foods i must admit and my yummy chocolate! The secret of my success? Just cut right down on the portion sizes (even bought myself a smaller plate for encouragement) started to drink more water and upped my exercise level a bit even though i suffer from chronic health problems and am in agony day in day out. There's really no excuse for people saying they can't lose weight...tis all in the mind.

Go Paleo - all the bad stuff is off the menu - like sugar and bread and all other processed carbs.

The point about available snacks when travelling is spot on. As somebody who has diabetes (and a nut allergy) I can agree it's almost impossible to buy a healthy snack ay these places.

What's wrong with bread? I've made it for decades, using good quality flour and seeds. It's not fattening; what you choose to put on it might be. When you consider the world's starving in the Third World, their basic food is carbohydrate but not enough of it. We in the West are spoiled for food.

Indeed, there is NO food or beverage, which make us fat or thin... ALL you need to know is your Personal, Daily Energy (Calorie) requirement!! Good Appetite!!!

i've been told to reduce my cholesterol so have decided to look at everything I eat. Overnight out went chocolate, dairy products, snacks, crisps, red meat and in has come all the things I though I hated. but a month in and 10 pounds off, I have lost the cravings and also have found I need less to eat. But exercise is a big factor to this. I walk a mile and a half each lunch time instead of sitting at my desk, and I feel great for it.

What about the offers in Supermarkets? Current BOGOF in my local supermarket are those reconstituted crisps in a cylinder, various choolate biscuit bars, fizzy drinks. ENOUGH

a vegan diet is the best way but if you can't manage that a slow carb diet like tim ferriss recommends is pretty good too. slow carb requires that you have a day where you eat as much junk food as you can possibly can too.
