Just curious what dietary way of eating works for you for weight loss? There are so many different lifestyle dietary plans out there! I am looking for a woe that will show weight loss results and I can continue to follow and not get burned out. Do you follow.... counting calories? High protein? Low carb? Paleo? Atkins?

I just eat food. I don't label the way I eat - to lose weight I eat less, if I want to grow (muscle) I eat more, and to maintain I eat somewhere in the middle.8

I eat the foods I like. I monitor my caloric intake and adjust it according to my goals.
I do pay attention to my macros, because I find getting a certain amount of protein keeps me feeling full, and I think getting adequate protein is important for older people like me. I also pay attention to getting enough fiber in my diet to feel full. But there's nothing special about my diet, well, I'm a vegetarian, but that's preference. I don't do that to lose weight.5 -
I eat all the food I love within my calorie limit with a slight leaning to higher protein ( compared to my previous consumption.
To lose weight one can follow any protocol so long one is eating less calories than one burns in a day. CICO.
Eat what you are eating now, but less of it, or change to a style of eating that will be satisfying- it is the calorie balance that is important and counting calories will be the best way to make sure you are eating less no matter what WOE you choose.

Various IF protocols, which are just fancy ways of eating at the correct calorie intake for my weight goals

I've done low carb and keto. Now I just eat everything and count my calories.3

I try to eat less than I burn. I follow a 14/10 protocol to help me stay within my calories. I try to eat enough protein to feel satiated.0

I just eat, and log everything. I'm aiming for a weekly average goal, but some weeks I meet it, others I don't. I don't apply food rules of any kind as they are counterproductive for me - rules are made to be broken! I'm entirely inconsistent. Over time, however, I eat less than I burn and I see losses as predicted by mfp. I use NEAT and eat my exercise back, though my estimates of time spent exercising are always conservative.2

I eat a low-carb high-fat moderate-protein diet ... but I do it to manage my diabetes.
Were I *not* diabetic, I'd simply eat real food - avoiding processed/refined stuff as much as possible.2 -

I eat a lower carb, higher fat, reasonable protein diet while intermittent fasting somewhere between 16:8 and 20:4 (depending on social/business obligations or meals) six days per week with a 24 hour fast one day per week.1

OP when I started here a few years ago, having never really dieted before, I was trying to figure out something similar, how should I eat to be successful. I read the good advice on these boards to follow something that would be sustainable and didn't leave you feeling like you were dieting. I made the decision that rather than cutting things out, I would focus on adding things to my life: more protein, more vegetables, more whole grains, more exercise, more sleep. By doing that, and eating within a moderate calorie deficit, I had room for treats like pizza, wine, ice cream, on a regular basis. I lost the weight I set out to lose and never felt like I was deprived, and am now successfully maintaining.
TL/DR - anything I want in moderation with a focus on an overall balanced diet.14 -
^^^This.
Start out with eating the things you like. After a while you will learn what helps keep you full and what is only worth eating once in awhile. Obviously paying attention to an overall balanced nutritious diet.
It's been said the best "diet" is the one you can stick to:).1
