Interesting as most diets or life changes are far too complex to just be labeled. IMO what best works for a 52-year-old Internet marketing junkie like me is intermitted fasting. It's a simple lifestyle. I eat 3 meals a day or even an additional snack in an 8-hour window. I only eat/drink natural foods. Refined or process foods like sugar are of course a pass. The only thing processed for me are 100% natural spices or juice. Yes, you must grow accustomed to reading labels. I first lost the mid-90's webmaster (50lbs) weight gain and kept it off now for almost 10 years as my weight fluxes +/-5lbs.
You see, where most of my/your problems start is well, phycological. In short, you need to unfuck yourself first for any life changes to take root and thrive. Meaning, I didn't lose all that weight and kept it off for physical health reasons. This was just an ancillary benefit. I did this for mental health reasons, first.
The last 10 years I've prospered the most and never felt better in my life. Granted, there are days where you cave and need to drink some whiskey or a beer while eating grilled meat with something sweet on the side. Just NEVER two days in a row. For little over a year now I had to give up the occasional whiskey/alcohol (again) because of 18-year-old Highland Park insisted that rules don't really need to apply to them and I was starting to see the logic in that. <grin>
