I am looking to lose about 20 lbs. I have followed Atkins with really good success, I have also done calorie counting and more recently tried Keto.
What is the best way to go about just getting healthy? I want to improve my overall health, while shedding some weight with a plan that is easy to stick to for life, so I can stop all this back and forth with different diets.

    Thank you. All of your comments make so much sense. Everything in moderation. Kind of like the 80/20 rule. That is a way of eating that I can stick with.

    Include fruits or veggies into every meal! And try getting your proteins from things other than meat!

    The eat-what-you-like-within-your-calories-and-log-on-mfp plan. ;)

    Ehhh. CICO, definitely, but it's not quite THAT simple if you want to look at health and feasibility. You could lose weight if you ate 500 calories' worth of butter every day and nothing else, but ... UGH. (And this is coming from someone who loves a slice of buttered toast with some tea!)

    Non-starchy vegetables are often low-calorie, so you can eat more of them without going over your calorie goal. I have read that fiber and/or protein may help you feel full as well.

    You don't have to cut out any foods entirely (unless you've suddenly developed a severe allergy, which is another issue!) but it can be helpful to think about what "satisfaction" means for you. If you have to choose, is it more important to avoid being hungry, or to eat your favorite high-calorie foods? Think about what priorities are best for you.

    "Best" is relative...ultimately what is important is consistency...so whatever is going to help you be the most consistent is going to be the best.

    Personally, I'm really down with eating a balanced and varied diet consisting largely of whole foods as a matter of general health and nutrition.
