Are you on any diet plan?

Which one if so?

The MFP plan. Eat less than I burn. I attempt to eat IIFYM, but kinda suck at it and as I'm obese CICO is more important to me right now than what macros I'm eating.

Sounds like what I used for my first bulk, except it was Beef/Pork Ribs and Protein Shakes.

Edit: Serious answer:

I have 40 years of failed dieting attempts behind me because I tried different diet plans. None of them worked because none of them taught me anything about how weight management worked. Now that I truly understand the basics of weight management, I feel free for the first time of my life and truly in charge of my body. I know that my choices will dictate my results. I can choose the foods I like in the appropriate quantities to get to the weight I want to be and stay there. I can engage in activities I enjoy to achieve my goals. How simple is that?

Not really on a diet i just follow my macros and calories and seems to be working fine for me for loosing weight

my macros are 50% protein 30% carbs 20% protein

Well, I plan my meals, and what I eat is my diet, so maybe "yes, my own".

I am eating more calories than I burn. (Well trying to at least)

I would love to have that 'problem'

I eat based on my personal goals. Basically, nutrition, taste, and calorie conscious eating. I made sure my protein was in line with what I wanted and occasionally play around with my other macros, but mostly not.

So no, no formal plan from someone else. That would drive me mad.

I'll trade you my bulk for your burn

I do 16:8IF and then also track my calorie intake/stay within my calorie targets.

rainbowbow

I eat the foods I like with the right micro and macronutrition while maintaining a proper calorie balance.

AKA the "i want to succeed long term" diet plan

I log what I eat and stick to my calorie goal. I try to meet my protein goal and eat several servings of vegetables and fruits a day. That's it.

Shhh...keep this to yourself. How can the diet industry make billions of dollars off all of us struggling with our weight if it's so simple.

Not only the diet industry but the plethora of bad/misleading/unrealistic/unnecessary diet and information prevalent on social media sites like Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram, etc.

No and I never recommend them. The term itself implies short term or temporary. The objective should be to get a change in lifestyle and habit. Make small positive changes, even one per week and stick to them until they become the new habit.
