Counting calories? South Beach Diet? Weight Watchers? Atkins? Some other plan?
Just curious what type of diet you're all following as part of your weight loss plan.

Medifast. 5 Medifast meals a day and one meal of 5-7 oz of lean meat & 1 1/2 cups of green veg. It really, really works.0

I watch the fat grams a friend is a nutrionist always told me to stay below 35-40 grams a day and you'll lose weight so I don't pay as much attention to the calories. Although I don't go way overboard.0

Im just counting calories but taking the things i learned from The Zone years ago and using those...more protein less carbs basically but everything balanced0

Suggestion -- you aren't "on a diet"... everyone is on a diet. A diet is defined as "the types of food a person/animal eats" (thanks google!). What you probably want is to change your diet. Diet change is more sustainable because you can remind yourself that this is a personal and permanent adjustment to the way, amount, and type of food that you eat. Screw "diets" join the "dietary change" movement!0

I'm not dieting I'm changing my lifestyle/habits.
I am calorie counting to get a better idea of what I eat, I have cut out most of the crappy foods I used to eat(Still sneak some in now and then) and trying to improve what I do eat.
Also increasing my exercise.0 -
It might be overkill but I'm also on the weight watchers points. I like it better than counting calories because it is based other factors besides just calories. Without it I might eat a chocolate chip cookie instead of a fruit salad. Weight watchers got smart and made fruit free. Good idea.0

How is this smart? Fruits may contain lots of lovely vitamins and nutrients but they are also quite high in sugar. This is why I eat tomatoes like they are apples (om nom nom... weird!) and try to cut it down to 2 pieces of fruit a day.0 -

Kind of a mix between Atkins and Paleo and Blood Type diet. To me, they are similar. So. . I guess I am mostly Atkins (but with foods that aren't processed much and grass-fed and organic.) The Blood Type Diet for my blood type (O) is almost exactly like the Paleo Diet, down to not eating legumes and starchy foods like that. The main difference I see between regular low carb/Atkins and Paleo/Blood Type is dairy. Sometimes I eat cheese and dairy, sometimes I use unsweetened coconut milk and barely any dairy .. . doesn't seem to affect me either way, so I mainly count carbs and sugars and try to also keep an eye on calories.
I basically like any diet that is low in carbs. Low fat high carb diets never worked for me at all. I do get my cholesterol checked every once in a while and my results are very good, in case anyone is wondering. Been doing low carb for the better part of ten years.
And I am big on weight training. I also do cardio and yoga but my main focus is weight training, it changed my life, even though I am not where I want to be ultimately, I am thinner and in better shape than when I was a vegetarian jogger in my early twenties. (I'm almost 37.)0 -
Count calories. Workout. Try to eat healthy-ish most of the time. Try to eat a minimum of 130 grams of protein.0

I'm doing phase 1 of south beach right now just to kick start things. I plan on avoiding "fast carbs," thinking about the GI of foods, and trying to keep saturated and trans fats to a minimum and all that when I'm done with this and counting calories. Basically loosely doing phase 2. Also working out, but I have to find something I enjoy and can afford.0
