What diet ????

I simply count calories and do exercise. I started 7 months ago and am now at below my goal weight.:bigsmile:

Just drink a lot of water, eat as cleanly as possible (unprocessed foods like fruits, veggies, leaner meats, nuts, whole grains, etc.), and exercise. Do some strength training as well as cardio. Make sure to get plenty of protein. There are a gozillion answers to your question. Just read up and experiment, but whatever you do, try it consistently long enough to know whether it is really working or not. Your body has to make adjustments, and those don't necessarily happen overnight. Good luck.

From the looks of your profile, you haven't been on here long, or at least haven't really engaged in the program/process much (I could definitely be wrong). It really doesn't need to be complicated, just keep it simple. As ^^^ said, LOG EVERYTHING!!! Having a true grip on reality is the only way to judge, or adjust, what you are doing. Get some MFPals (feel free to send me a request) and get feedback regularly. It is invaluable.

You have to try different things to see what works for you. I follow the dukan diet but that may not be suitable for you. this question may even give you loads of opinions from people suggesting you follow what they follow, but at the end of the day, u have to find something that you can stick to. good luck

First of all it's now about calories per say as what kind of calories. Everyone is different. I can only tell you what worked for me and how I have lost nearly 90 lbs. I started at Low carb and worked my way up the carb ladder while lowering my calories. I am not at 1420 calories to lose one lb a week. I keep my "good" carbs at 100 to 150 gm's a day. Which is about 10% give or take.
Will this work for you? You won't know until you try. But even if you don't want to start where I started...you can just change your goal to 1 lb a week and do everything in your power to eat those calories every day. NOT UNDER. But keep your carbs healthy and watch the hidden sugars. Lean meats, lots of veggies and healthy fruits and whole grains..stay away from fake white processed carbs.
I would say that now that I am so close to goal I am on more of South Beach if I had to pick a diet but the thing is I don't like the word diet. It seems temporary. What I have done is changed my eating habits...long term. It's all about sticking with it and doing the work. Good luck and God Bless.

What diet is right?! I don't diet. I just eat healthy! Whole grains, nuts, vegetables and fruit! (I'm a vegetarian.) I hate the word diet, I just totally changed my lifestyle and how I view food and don't treat my stomach like a waste dump.
