I was talking with my doctor last month about weight loss and various plans. She's extremely grounded and recommended the following:
Don't diet. Don't follow a tight plan.
What she recommended was overall, try to eat a little less. Look at your plate, is it food? Good food? Aim for good, real food on your plate and maybe a little less of it. Ignore candy and pop and things like that. Drink lots of water - not to much, but stay hydrated. Get a pedometer and start counting up steps to 10,000/day. And don't eat after 6 or 7pm.
The last bit threw me - no late dinners, snacks? But the principal sounds sane if a bit of a restructuring on how we eat - in the evening, you're gearing up for bed. Not a marathon, not a workday but sleep. How many calories do we need for that? Not so many. Huh.
