    There is no best way of eating. People throughout the world thrive on different dietary compositions and macro balances. Eat a combination of nourishing (body and soul) foods that makes you happy.

    The only diet that works? Eating less calories than you burn.

    Everything else is just noise.

    This. Any elimination diet has a terrible success rate. You drop the fat, but then most people gain it right back. This has to be something you maintain for life. You can't eat the way you have been and lose weight. The best thing is to explore new, nutrient dense foods and find the ones you like. Don't focus on removing things from your diet. Focus instead on your purpose for eating something. Are you eating something just because it's a "treat"? I discovered many foods that didn't even taste that good but I considered them a treat so I ate them. I enjoy desserts. But flavorful and well prepared ones. I focus on getting plenty of proteins and healthy fats. I've tried a multitude of veggies to find the ones that I actually enjoy. It's a process and I learn and grow every day but I know I'll sustain it because I still enjoy eating.

    The best thing to cut back on is calories. :bigsmile:

    The one you're going to be able to stick too. I do Keto for now. I'm a carb binge eater. Breads, pastas, chips, etc are my downfall. I've decided to cut them out while I work on my relationship with food. Since I don't feel I'm currently at a place where I would be able to eat them without going overboard I just don't eat them. It's a journey. Pretty much its consume less calories then you burn. How you want to consume those calories are totally up to you.

    A crap load of exercise. It allows much much looser rules on what the "right" foods are.

    I just began the No-S Diet. (No Sweets, no Snacks, no Seconds--except on holidays or S days.) Great book. Most of the info. is at www.nosdiet.com for free. I hope to report at least 1lb a week minimum soon. :smiley:

    How much is not much to you and are you weighing all of your food?

    You can lose a Pound a week, without the "No-S Diet"; I am. I just eat less, of everything; that I ate before.

    Eating a ketogenic diet has improved my health and made it easier to eat at a caloric deficit so I can lose weight, it's also something I can see doing long term.

    I have not denied myself a thing when it comes to food in the past three months. I have had cheesecake, cookies, cake, and pizza in moderation. I have eaten lots of fruits and vegetables to help me maintain a diet between 1200 and 1500 calories each day (depending on exercise). I weigh everything that goes into my mouth and make sure I am drinking enough water. I have lost 22 lbs since June 21. You do not need a special diet (unless you have medical issues), just eat less calories than you burn.

    I am used to the diabetic diet with the emphasis on balanced macros, vegetables, and whole grains. But that is for nutrition not weight loss. I steadily gained by eating an over abundance of nutritious foods.

    You will lose by tracking and weighing portions. You will learn a lot by logging the foods you eat now. Some meals may surprise you for their caloric load.

    The best diet for me is eating at a calorie deficit.

    No diet will work if you eat more than you burn, and any diet will work if you eat at a calorie deficit. It's all about finding what works for you. :)
