    The topic indicates why you may be having problems. Stop thinking in terms of diets. Diets are at best short term fixes with long term failures. If you are trying to fit into a particular piece of clothing one time then go for it. If you are trying to eat and live healthy then make a life style choice.

    You have to find a way of eating that works for you. Everyone is different, and loses weight differently also. Some people go on a diet, and stay with it for years, some do it for a few days, weeks, or even months, but if they go back to old habits....they won't keep the weight off. That is what we are all looking to do!!

    Diets work in the short term but to keep the weight off you need a healthy life style. Eating right and exercising...that's the ticket.

    DIETS don't work. And I know first hand since I train people who have done it to only gain the weight back once they got off them.

    DIETS are nothing but fads that people make money off of! It's called a lifestyle, not a diet. It's not so hard to just eat healthy food, eat within your means and move more. If you occasionally want something that's not healthy, make room for it in your diary with exercise calories.

    How can you maintain your weight loss if there are foods you cannot eat? It won't work.

    I dont have anything to extra to add other than whats already been said but how did you manage to eat 30 bananas a day??? I think i'd have been sick after about 7 or 8. It must have been quite expensive too. Bananas aren't one of the cheapest fruits here in the UK.
