Anyone want to share a diet that produces results :)

Here is my routine that resulted in a 100 lb loss in eight months:

Breakfast 520 calories
115 g Frosted Mini-wheats 400 cals
One cup 2% milk 120 cals

Lunch 380 cals
5 oz can of tuna 100 cals (frequently have leftover meat from last night's dinner, too)
1.5 cups romaine lettuce 10 cals
2 tbsp Italian dressing 30 cals
Single serve Greek yogurt 130 cals
1 tbsp Light Mayo 50 cals
Fruit 60 cals
Diced jalapeno peppers 0 cals

Snacks 280 cals
4 tbsp Half 'n' Half (for coffee) 80 cals
1.25 oz almonds 200 cals

Dinner 420 cals
8 oz grilled pork/chicken/steak/fish (no sauce or garnish, just seasoning) 360 cals
Half a container of frozen "steam in bag" vegetables 60 cals

Drinks 100 cals
1.5 oz Jack Daniels or Kraken Black Spiced Rum 100 cals

Total Calories Consumed 1700

Walk 5 miles -800 cals

Calories burned above sedentary -200

Total Calories Burned -1000

Net Caloric Intake 700

Net Caloric Intake Goal 1400 (average is about 1250 - 1300)

Fill-ins to reach net caloric intake goal: increase portions, protein shake, protein bar, beer, nuts, fruit, yogurt, hummus

Things to note:
* I prepare 98.5% of my own meals, so I have total control
* No bread, noodles, potatoes, etc
* No traditional snack foods like chips or cookies
* The universe of food selections for me is EXTREMELY limited
* Extreme consistency: my walks never vary (2 miles at lunch, 3 miles after dinner)

I cut my calories by over half and am having great results so far! Eating protein rich snacks and moving all the time!

How did you determine what half was? This formula won't be healthy weight loss for many people.

There's a sliding scale.....to help you lose fat and KEEP lean muscle.

If you have 75+ lbs to lose 2 lbs/week is ideal,
If you have 40-75 lbs to lose 1.5 lbs/week is ideal,
If you have 25-40 lbs to lose 1 lbs/week is ideal,
If you have 15 -25 lbs to lose 0.5 to 1.0 lbs/week is ideal, and
If you have less than 15 lbs to lose 0.5 lbs/week is ideal.

one that you will be able to stick with, for me that meant not giving up anything just cutting the quantity

Take a reality check. 1. What made you put on weight? 2. What action is needed? 3. Short term goals. 4. Long term goals. 5. What are the risks? 6. What are the benefits?
I know this is like a SWAT analysis, but it works for me. Good luck!

Yup, don't diet.. you're welcome

One that you're not punishing yourself on! I eat what I want but do it wisely! Not fatty foods and in a calorie deficit. I'm where I want to be with my weight. Now I'm working on toning up!

What if I told you that you could lose weight while still eating anything you want, just in moderation? Yep, it's called a calorie deficit and you can eat anything you'd like, as long as you're under your calorie goal. And there's this great website/app called MyFitnessPal that allows you to count calories, set up your goals, and even has forums that have tons of threads with great information already stickied for you. Or if you're looking for something specific, there's a search button.

I'll just leave this here until you get started...

High fat, moderate protein, low carbs.

My take is that you want to live a healthy lifestyle. This is not a DIEt.

Set your weight loss and exercise goals and start eating - anything you want as long as it fits into your calories. Make sure to weigh and measure your food, accurately account for exercise calories burned (meaning use a HRM or about 1/2 what MFP says you burned (they are overly generous!)

Of course the caveat here is that you want to be healthy so the foods you choose should help reach that goal too! Personally I eat slightly high protein/fat and a bit lower carb (NOT low carb). It works for me.

Good luck!
