Diet plans for men? Anyone?

Options
Hey everyone,
I'm looking for greater control over my diet. I'm about 35lbs away from my goal and I'm finding it difficult not to lose weight. I'm looking for a diet that is high in protein that will also help me lose weight. I work out around 4 to 5 times a week. Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks

    You don't have to diet. Get in your essentials (macro and micro nutrients), work out, rest, and stay in calorie deficit. That's pretty much it. If you aren't consistent with it, you won't get consistent results.

    I know I don't have to "diet". I meant diet in the true sense of the word. Literally just meaning what a person eats. AKA, you can have a health or unhealthy diet, etc. Just wondering if anyone had any suggestions of guidelines to follow. I'm just looking for an easier solution than figuring it out myself right haha. Just want a template haha.

    I would consider holding a discussion with either your primary care physician, or more specified a Sports Medical Doctor who has training in nutrition

    I follow a paleo type of diet, but I just do Yoga as a workout. Good fat/protein/vegetables make up a majority of the diet. It has worked well for me; however, everyone's mileage will vary. Keep researching, experimenting; you will figure out what works for you.
