@dr.garthdavis_01: Short term weight loss is not success. I'm not interested in what someone weighs a month, or even 6 months, after I see them. I want them to show up healthy at 5 years. Saying a diet "worked" for you but then gaining back all the weight and then some is a bit of an oxymoron. To lose weight and keep it off is the real success. It is a journey, not a destination. So, it is important to choose strategies that you can do long term. Food should taste good and, as importantly, be filing. Exercise should be fun and should not get you hurt. Look at the National Weight Control Registry following people who have had long term success with weight loss. They are not doing crazy low carb diets, in fact most have focused on a more low fat diet. They have made simple lifestyle changes they can stick with long term.
