    Don't think of it as a "diet". Think of it as more of a lifestyle change. I'm just counting calories and watching my macros (carbs, fats, protein). Next week I'm cutting the carbs and doing a ketogenic plan.

    I eat foods I enjoy while tracking calories, protein, carbs, and fats. When I want to lose weight I eat slightly less calories than I need. When I want to gain weight I eat slightly more.

    This. Exactly.

    This too. Nothing is off limits as long as it fits within my calories and macros (and once in a while, even when it *doesn't* fit).

    No diets, diets are crap.

    Eat properly, work out/exercise, and the rest will fall into place.

    There's a reason the word "diet" contains the word "die", diets always die. A diet is not sustainable in the long term, because it usually means restricting or severely limiting yourself from certain foods, usually ones you love. You crave them and crave them until you can't take it anymore and then you binge and feel terrible because you went off your diet.

    As someone else mentioned, this is a lifestyle change. I eat what I want, when I want. I just eat way smaller portions of it. I'm not restricting myself from the foods I love, so I don't feel deprived at all.

    I agree, it's a lifestyle change. I've just been eating healthier, more fruits and veggies, less fatty foods and junk food, and have been exercising more, mostly running and yoga :). Been having smoothies for breakfast and I love it. I've been feeling so much better. Other than that I'm vegetarian, have been for years :).

    I'm too much of a rebel to follow any particular diet. I focus on meeting nutritional goals instead.

    di·et/ˈdī-it/
    Noun:
    1) The kinds of food that a person, animal, or community habitually eats.
    2) A legislative assembly in certain countries.

    I habitually eat a protein shake for breakfast, some kind of chicken or turkey or ham something for lunch (usually a wrap), and whatever my wife cooks for dinner. There are veggies, yogurts, cheese, some chocolate from time to time, homemade protein bars, eggs, oatmeal, plenty of bananas, etc, etc, etc. There are days we go out to eat too.

    At the end of the day, for the most part, it's calorie count and macros to the best of my ability.

    This.

    Habitually, I eat lots of beans, lean ground beef, chicken breast, protein shakes, egg whites, frozen veggies, and oats.

    I try to be in the vicinity of my macros, and my calorie goal. and I make it a point to be normal and eat what is served in social situations.
