    What works for everyone is developing a routine that works for you (this is the hard part) - this will include a long process of identifying behaviors that don't suit your goals and replacing these with habits that support your goals. A key point is learning the difference between true hunger signals and eating out of habit/boredom.

    Personally mine was getting back to a routine that prioritizes exercise. All the rest is calorie counting.

    I find a high candy diet plus exercise works for me. Basically calorie counting.

    I think people have been successful based on all sorts of macro breakdowns, so whatever macro ratio religion you believe in which also achieves a caloric deficit is likely to be fine. I tend to be more high carb, though.

    The only plan that works is eating a little less than you require to maintain your current weight. That's literally the only way. If you're an otherwise healthy adult (no diabetes, PCOS etc) no special way of eating is going to get you there any faster.

    I have been on WW since 2013 and lost -169#. It works for me because it's easy to count the points WWers assigns to food. Basically same as counting calories but with a support system if in person weigh in, meting and online support.

    Paying WW Inc a monthly fee just reminds me that I'm paying money so I better follow the program! LoL

    You CAN. Eat whatever you want but you have to track the points and practice portion control.

    I'm doing the Military Blood Type keto grapefruit detox diet.
    I haven't lost much weight, but gained a lot of woos.

    Well d'uh. That's because you haven't sprinkled ACV onto the grapefruit. Rookie mistake.

    Matching calories to outcomes (restriction to cut weight, increase to gain mass) + strength training (regardless of gender) + consistency (form habits)

    For 11 days I did the right thing (well I think). The goal is 1560 calories net. I go cycling 30-45m per day @ accounting for 300-450calories more . I weight almost everything... for example a potato I will dispose what weights more than 150g. Result after 11 days; 0lbs lost. I am a bit surprised as I lost 85lbs 6-7 years ago. I hope that it is because of water retention as I stopped drinking alcohol (I enjoyed 2-3 bottles a week for quite a while).
