I learned the hard way about weight and all the factors.

First off you had better decide if you really want it or not. You need to change your way of life, not diet. Because if you go off of a diet, you will baloon up again.

you said you like soda, quit regular and switch to diet. Yeah aspartame might killy you, but its been used in tons of products for 20+years. all of the other foods we buy in the store are full of crap as well, from meat to packaged products, so in this day and age it isn't worthy worrying about. None of the doctors I have seen have warned about it with taking my meds, or being bad.

Pretty much anybody who eats less calories then they burn off are going to lose weight. In order to maintain when at a healthy weight you will have to keep your diet in check for the long term.

A sensible diet, drinking gallon or so of water a day, and exercise, like atleast 30-60 minutes of moderate intensity(mix of cardio and weights) is what healthy people do, NOT just dieters. So it does take discipline and changing your life. It just becomes the norm.

I don't believe in fad diets because they send the wrong message. You just want to lose fat, not muscle, there isn't some magical pill or diet that is gonna make you drop the weight in a month.

You can do different routines for sure and see success when you change what you have been doing for sure, but the problem is when you go off of it, so thats why I stay away. The yo yo effect sucks. I have people in the family that are always cycling the atkins thing, but their eating habits when off are still bad and not good for the body and issues they are dealing with. You don't want to get high blood pressure, diabetes, etc.

Carbs and fat aren't the enemy like people say. Its all the crap manufactured unnatural foods we have the throw the portions out of whack.

Anyway if you want to follow a nice program that breaks it down very simply, go with body for life, buy the book and follow it. I did it and it helps reinforce everything and why I'm doing it. I lost 117 lbs and maintained for months. I did yo yo due to stress and thats when it clicked that it needs to be a healthy way of life, not some fad diet or gimmick. I'm back on it now and won't change because it is sound, easy to follow. I can lose weight, exercise and feel great, without giving up carbs or the junk foods I like one day a week.
