Just eat less. Losing weight is about how much you eat, not what you eat (though that is important to your health).0

Best diet plan?
Eating less than you need to maintain your current weight. That is literally it.
Of course, some food choices are better than others when it comes to your health and helping you feel full.0 -
If you're looking for meals that'll allow you to eat more food for less calories, or keep you full longer or whatever, then you could have a look at the recipes forum. But ultimately calories are all that matter for weight loss.0

I've been eating extremely healthy, going to the gym everyday. It's been 8 days and I'm already seeing results. I'm staying away from the scale Til next week and hoping for a low number. I've become addicted to eating right and getting in the best shape of my life0

I like a good cheeseburger and ice cream.
I just get a small one, or I don't eat all of it.0 -
If you want to lose fat, you need to limit your intake of fat. Limiting your calories will only get you so far. Diet with a proper exercise routine that includes strength and cardio training will get you were you want to be.0

lean meats, plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, a spattering of healthy fats, and overall less of what you have been eating.0

Fat is not the enemy. Of course, carbs and/or protein aren't the enemy either. Too many calories is the enemy.0 -

Depends where she wants to be. If someone wants to be a ripped body builder then yeah, monitoring food intake and lots of the right exercise is necessary.
If all someone wants to do is lose weight then all that's needed is a calorie deficit. Doesn't matter if all they calories they eat are fat, if they're in their calorie goals they'll lose weight (they might get scurvy or whatever, but they'll also get thinner!)0 -

Low carb, high fat with HIIT training. Quickest and most efficient way to shredding fat.

Maybe...but if 'low carb, high fat with HIIT training' still leaves you eating at maintenance or in a caloric surplus, you won't lose fat/weight.
Regardless of how you get there, calories are king. Eat less, burn more. Period.0 -

Even at maintenance, you can cut down if you training is designed property. Cardio Acceleration while lifting heavy compound movements, will shred fat in a caloric deficit an at a maintenance. Not because the calories burned in that particular training bout exceeds the calorie in vs calorie out theory, but because with HIIT your body will burn calories for up to 24 hours. Me personally, and in many clients, i've had them lose inches around the waist, but increase weight, at a caloric surplus and maintenance level. Mind you, we are athletes, not body builders, so our training is much more intense then the average gym member.
I don't particularly agree with the calories are king theory. If you have a well designed macro nutrient breakdown, the calories will place themselves correctly. Counting calories is also extremely inaccurate. Lets me honest, how many people really weigh out every bit of food, and calculate what the food is being cooked in. Only serious body builders.0 -
What you normally do, only in moderation, at a deficit.0

False. Calorie deficit in any form will help people lose fat. Fat is HIGHER in calories per gram than the other 2 macros, but one could overeat carbs and stay fat.If you want to lose fat, you need to limit your intake of fat. Limiting your calories will only get you so far. Diet with a proper exercise routine that includes strength and cardio training will get you were you want to be.

Yes, you can recomp by eating at maintenance...but it's a relatively slow process. I assumed by the "shred" fat title, OP was looking to lose fat quickly-ish. And you don't need to be a high-performing athlete to recomp *eye roll*I don't particularly agree with the calories are king theory.
The cool thing about science is...it still works whether you believe it or notIf you have a well designed macro nutrient breakdown, the calories will place themselves correctly.
While I don't necessarily disagree, a lot of people find it easier to count calories than to set and monitor specific macro breakdowns.Counting calories is also extremely inaccurate. Lets me honest, how many people really weigh out every bit of food, and calculate what the food is being cooked in. Only serious body builders.
Considering you're on a calorie-counting website, filled with people who have had success doing so, I'd say quite a few. And very few of us are 'serious body builders' (I guess depending on how you're defining that term)

Still have to be in calorie deficit though and low carbing isn't always best for some especially with high intensity exercise since their blood sugars could drop quickly if they aren't used to the regimen.starrthighh wrote: »Need Some Help Looking For The Best Diet Plans To Lose Fat.

BLUF: Contact a dietitian!
With that being said, eat healthy not less; eat lean proteins, complex carbs and healthy fats. Fish and chicken are my staples with beef mixed in a few meals a week. Lots of green, red, orange, and yellow veggies (less or no condiments) and fresh fruits and nuts.
A good thing to do is get a multi layered steamer put your protein on the bottom layer, rice on the second and a veggie on the third layer (I loved a veggie medley of zucchini, yellow squash, broccoli, and snow peas). I’d marinade my chicken or even fish in an EVOO and balsamic with seasoning for a few hours, then pour the left over marinade over the veggies and let it drop down on the rice, the steam will kill and bacteria from cross contamination. You can steam either brown or white rice.
Just cut out the empty or dead calories i.e. chips, soda, cookies, and eat healthy choices. But it is ok if you have the self-control to occasionally have a treat, I’m not saying never have them again.
With proper exercise, you will need the calories from eating proper and that is how you should be attacking the battle of the bulge.
You can do anything that you set your mind to. You can certainly do this!
Good luck.

Anecdotes aren't evidence. Again, explain how one is in calorie deficit while eating at maintenance? Physically impossible. It's either one or the other.

This works for me, I've lost 64 pounds and have kept it off. These foods help me feel full because I can eat more of them for less calories. Bread/pasta/wheat products and dairy rack up calories without much benefit.

Not true at all. People who understand that counting calories works, do it. I weigh my food, almost 100% of the time except when I go out. I count cooking oils/butter. When I have to guesstimate, I over estimate - I work hard to not go over my calorie goal. It's the easiest most do-able weight loss plan I have ever done.

So, you're saying that people who have no experience moderating their calorie intake, who have maybe participated in binge/restriction cycles or yo-yo dieting for years, who cannot estimate portions, will somehow just inherently *know* how many calories to eat if they get their macros correct?
And, if you spend a little more time here on MFP, I think you'll see that there are quite a few people (myself included) that weigh and measure everything they eat.0 -

Now if you have a degree in any physiology at all you should know that regardless of activity or not, the body is ALWAYS burning calories 24 hours a day. What HIIT does is to help increase RMR to an extend (not as much as every thinks it does) and does help with hormonal output versus say one with moderate or low intensity training. However it's still calories in and out for fat loss. To deny that would disingenuous as a professional in this business.Acceleration while lifting heavy compound movements, will shred fat in a caloric deficit an at a maintenance. Not because the calories burned in that particular training bout exceeds the calorie in vs calorie out theory, but because with HIIT your body will burn calories for up to 24 hours.
Professional NFL linemen do LOTS of HIIT during games and practice, yet are much more rotund than their runningback, receiver, etc. counterparts. So if HIIT was just the answer, they should be just as "ripped". Obviously not so.
Also you'd have a hard time explaining how someone "bulks" in calorie deficit.
