    Mostly common sense except the carb & bread/pasta references (I'm losing weight and eat about 50 to 60% of my calories from carbs) & 4litres of water???? - I'd be in the can the whole day (or need to have a catheter installed :laugh: )

    gave up reading at 12. At that point there was a rubbish to good advice ratio of 3 to 2.

    I prefer these three:

    1. Eat what you like and make it healthy 80% of the time
    2. Do exercise you enjoy
    3. Make sure 1 and 2 leave you at a sensible calorie deficit

    You can't eliminate carbs. You can lower them, but you can't eliminate them. I can't imagine what your meals would look like if you eliminated carbs. All beef, all the time?

    Here's a good diet tip: Eat real food that was once living, whether it grew out of the ground or grazed upon it or swam in the sea. Drink lots of water. End of story.

    You have more rules then my taxman >.>

    I prefer my version:

    Do what works for you.
    Have fun exercising
    Eat sensibly as much as you can.

    Living sensibly and healthily is as much about common sense, listening to your body and having fun. Follow some standing principles or guidelines as you wish, but it would not do, Harry, to diet away and forget to live.

    15. Fat loss is easier if you eliminate gluten, cow dairy, soy, sweeteners

    I am medically on a diary, soya, Gluten egg free diet and still managed to put on four stone and no i don't cheat as i don't fancy a trip to hospital. Its all about not eating too much of the stuff which is bad for you. Also you cant have whey powder if you are diary free.

    Most of that is full of bull. I eat around 200g carbs a day and still managed to lose 35 pounds. I eat a bowl of cereal 45 minutes before bed with milk. Still good. I use Truiva or Splenda almost every day. A diet shouldn't be a limiting kind of thing, it's a lifestyle change so limiting eating out and all that isn't feasible. It's better not to cheat, seriously, so does that mean if I did it would derail the whole plan...Nah. You shouldn't ever consider it cheating. Then you'll feel guilty and get all freaked out. Everyone is human, we are going to want to have fun. Especially if you have a lot to lose. You can't follow all these tips for years, it's not sustainable. It would make you crazy!

    I like the K.I.S.S approach. (Keep It Simply Simple)
    Eat foods as close to how they are in nature as a general rule. But, don't over think it. There is no general rule that will work for everyone.

    ROFL! I have to agree about the 4L/day. That would be worse than being 8 months pregnant!

    This!

    I don't know about you, but life has enough rules. I don't need to add another 30 to it! *LAUGH*

    The one thing that I do that I think helps more than anything else is drink water. Lots of water! I drink about a gallon a day, and when I do, it makes a positive, noticeable difference in everything I do.

    I like them all:) I may not follow them all to a T but I can see the benefit from the majority of them.
