what diet to choose???!!!!???HELP ME

There is no diet that will help you. You need to do a lifestyle change that takes hard work, is slow progress, and sustainable as it is something you will be doing for the rest of your life hopefully.

Just eat a variety of healthy foods, exercise, log your food and exercise on here and eat all of the calories MFP allows you.

It works, no need to diet.

Ding ding ding

The MFP diet! Just burn more calories than you consume and you lose weight! Fad diets especially injecting pregnant lady pee and consuming 500 cals a day (HCG Diet) are a bad idea, juice fasts and such for a few days can help kick things off but it's just a motivator as any weight lost is water-weight.

Change your ratios under settings to 30% protein and 25g fibre (just b/c MFP is wrong on setting it at 15% and fibre is set way too low) and then start planning your day with portions much smaller than what you had before. Slowly you'll begin cooking much healthier foods, you'll find favourite vegetables and you'll learn to cut down on carbs.

Just take it 1 day at a time.

I have heard good things about the Diet Dr Pepper diet.

Lifestyle change

eat healthy

use the tools

good luck

I would recommend looking into the South Beach diet. Its very focused on lean proteins and good carbs.

100% correct. Just use MFP's system. It will tell you how many Calories to eat to reach your goal. It works. If you need a name, your diet is "Calorie Counting".

Agree with both of these. Just do this! Eat less move more. It sounds simple because it is! You just have to wrap your head around it...don't complicate it, you will see results!

I by no means am a professional, but my thoughts are to make sure you don't think of it as a "diet" no one sticks to a "diet". This should just be a lifestyle change where you're more concious of what you're putting into your body and how you move your body.

Using MFP has really helped me. I started with my calorie allottment and through time, I've learned what foods I can eat that really fill me up but don't take up a ton of calories... and not surprisingly, those foods are the healthier, whole, fresh, non-processed foods. My diary is open and please feel free to take a look at what I eat. I think it's important to know that when you're making a lifestyle change, you still can have the things you want and like, just be more concious of them. Don't have them every day, in fact, I'd say not even every week. I try to let myself have a once a month treat so to speak if I feel I really need it.

I've tried "diets" before where you allow a cheat day every week, etc, and I know this works for some people, but it didn't work for me. I realized I was looking so forward to those days, that I never really got over my cravings for them, and it made it harder to be something I could stick with.

When I said moving your body, I mean, try to do things you haven't done before... maybe that's walking or maybe it's attending some classes at the gym or even just joining a gym.

Remember, everything you do to better yourself each day can only help you towards your goal. No matter how little the change. I think gradually moving into these changes are a huge help. At least they have been for me.

Someone posted this a little while ago, but I think it's helpful to share, Here's what he had to say. if you can gradually incorporate these 10 things over time (slowly - because it's harder to attain if you do it all at once, you might give up) but here you go:

1. Exercise for 30 minutes
2. Take fish oil and a multivitamin at breakfast
3. Drink at least 8 cups of water
4. Eat at least 4 one-cup servings of vegetables
5. Sleep at least 8 hours (including naps and night-time sleep)
6. During each meal, stop eating when 80% full
7. Twice during the work day, get up and do 5 minutes of muscle stretching
8. Eat 4 – 5 meals
9. Eat lean protein with each meal
10. Replace grains with greens during each meal

Hope this helps! Good luck to you!

you have to just change your opinion pof things and read everyy label. Don't diet. Just make the decision to be healthy, Eat healthy and move your body. All the knowledge doesn't come at once. Don't get overwhelmed. Take the first step and just start. Start small, and big things will happen!

I have heard good things about the Diet Dr Pepper diet.

OMG there is a Diet Dr Pepper Diet?

Yeah, you live on Diet Dr. Pepper, lose a bunch of weight, probably some hair, gain back all of the weight, and lose all credibility as a pesron that can make rational decisions.

Do research- understanding how the body works and reacts to what we feed it is the most important thing you can do for your weight loss journey. Also understanding the nuances of weight training and cardio exercise is important. I have people that I read religiously for their insight on how to make changes. Of course, you don't have to agree with or follow what these individuals prescribe but it's essential to have a good foundation.

There are tons of places on the internet that will provide you with information. Use common sense to figure out what works for you!

But there is weight loss involved? SIGN. ME. UP. ::as I sip my DDP::

The best diet is one that you'll be able to stick with for the rest of your life, so you won't gain the weight back after you've lost it.

There's now any quick trick to it though, which is what most "diets" are. Just eat as healthy as you can... fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, beans, lean proteins.

I wouldn't drop calories down to 1200 or any specific dieting number, you should find out what your BMR is (calories your body uses even at rest) and eat that and whatever calories you burn through exercise. Your calories lower as you lose weight, so I'd check BMR again every 10 lbs (WW points change every 10 pounds too). No reason to start yourself off at minimum and have nowhere to go because you slowed your metabolism.

Quit looking for a diet and start changing your life. This is not a quick fix. This is something that you are going to have to change for the rest of your life. You can't lose 130 lbs and then expect to keep it off by going back to your old habits.

It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change:)

Eat a variety of healthy nutritious foods. Watch your portion control and stay with in the calorie parameters set by MFP. Drink lots of water. Exercise - even if it is just a walk everyday. It varies for everyone but here's a few of my healthy food picks -

Oatmeal
eggs
low fat yogurt
low fat cottage cheese
string cheese
whole grain bread
lean meats - turkey and chicken
fish, tuna, salmon
healthy fats - nuts, olive oil, avocados
fresh fruits
fresh vegies

Try to avoid foods that are over processed. And again..portion control! Invest in a George Foreman grill for healthy cooking. AVOID FAD DIETS...they don't work. There is no quick fix. Sensible diet and everything in moderation WILL get you to your goal!! Best wishes!!
