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.7

I'm on the Hotdog and Protein Shake™ diet7

Sounds like what I used for my first bulk, except it was Beef/Pork Ribs and Protein Shakes.0 -
Strictly CICO here.4

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?13 -

Do you blend them together?3 -

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".3

I am eating more calories than I burn. (Well trying to at least)0

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.0 -
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.1
-
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 plan4 -
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.2

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.6 -
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.0

Did you also take the Mercedes because the Porsche is in the shop? :laugh:1 -
The one where I eat very well for the most part and get some awesome nutrition in my body...then I exercise regularly...then the rest takes care of itself. I'm also going out for pizza with my boys for lunch.1

Har har har
But you are nursing too right? Trying to gain weight while nursing.. it's like running up hill, at least for me!1 -
I've done reduced carb a couple of times, and it's helped me. Now, I count calories and make better choices most of the time -- whole grains over refined, less red meat (and meat in general), good fats.0

For fun, I am trying calorie/carb cycling to see if it makes improvements in my training. But holy hell, I am struggling with carbs... I am not eating enough of them on my high carb days (never thought I would say that).4

I've been seeing a nutritionist. So I'm not on a plan per se, but I try to stick to clean eating and keep 3 meals and 2snacks at 15 net carbs or less at each. I also avoid cheese as much as possible bc it's processed food.
I was very successful without feeling deprived last year when I did. But, I stopped eating healthy (I'm not on a "diet) and I'm regrouping.
Seeing the nutritionist was by far the best results for me after doing Atkins, south beach, weight watchers, nutri system etc over the years.
I do consider the way I eat as aligning with primal (not strict paleo) because it centers around clean eating and eating foods good for your body. The guide from nutritionist helps me make clean food choices appropriate for my weight loss.0 -
I also find, my problem with staying healthy eating on my weight loss journey is 100% mental for me bc I'm battling food addiction/compulsive eating. It's never been a matter of not liking or wanting healthy foods, I really do like them. But there is an emotional pull/draw to want to eat a big greasy slice of pizza or a giant piece of cake when it's in front of me. I can only describe it as more than a craving. Almost like my brain is saying I "need" it. Fix my brain, I'm good to go. Lol3

While 30! It's amazing!1

I eat what I ate to get fat BUT I eat less of some foods, made others lower calorie and moderate my chips/sweets.
I started to moderate Dr. Pepper but I think I've only had one in 6 months and it was too sweet:)
I cycle my calories because I don't want to eat a set amount every day and it seems to fit my social calendar.
I also stopped forcing myself to eat breakfast. I stop eating at 5pm just because I don't like going to bed on a full stomach and this seemed to help me sleep better as well as cut out the late night snacking.
Basically I'm eating in a way that I can maintain after I get to goal weight.
