Hey everyone, i just was wondering which of these people seem to stick by, i thought maybe here everyone could discuss their opinions, hopefully this thread wont die off, lol. feel free to post. I personally am trying to decide which would be best for me. So....hope to see everyone around here soon!

These are correlated. If you lower carbs, you lower calories and vice versa.

oh...i had found in some of my low carb foods they had high calories...but i didnt really check everything...thanks tho.

I mean in the same way that if you lower fat, you lower calories. One thing you dont want to do is go on the "low-fat, low-carb" diet. Ive seen some people try this, but if you're on low everything, where do you get your calories and energy from?

yea, i thought the same thing, i read up on "low carb diets" and it appears they arent that safe. my guess is u will gain it back afterwards anyway, just like any other "fad" diet...

Theres no trick or secret to losing weight. Just eat smarter, more frequently, and read this: John Berardi - 7 Habits

thanks i will definetely check that out

I'm on the 'No Crappy Food' diet and it's working pretty well for me.

I've cut out soda (all soda), fast food, chips, yummy chocolate foods, and most importantly pasta and white bread. I seriously think I was addicted to pasta, I would eat it almost everyday (dang it's so freakin' good!)

I was also a terrible about eating veggies and fruits and rarely ate a salad, so yeah....my eating habits have definately changed in the past 6 months. Sometimes I seriously miss my old eating habits, there were just so dang tasty!

lol, the no crappy food diet sounds pretty good.

I'm pretty much on the "Very Little Crappy Food Diet". Same as Kaitie, only I haven't cut anything out entirely. I've cut out about 90% of my soda, junk, etc., and cut back on my portions of pasta and stuff like that.

Yep, same thing here. I cut out 98% of the soda and junk food. I still eat pasta (in moderation)and lots more fruits and veggies.

ok, sounds good to me, i think i will just go with that

Protien?

My vote goes to the "no crappy food" diet or the low cal diet. I sometimes miss crappy food - especially the smell of chips (English fries) with salt and vinegar in the marketplace. I think that the problem with low carb and low fat diets is that they can sometimes fail to distinguish good carbs/fats from bad carbs/fats. We all want to lose weight right? But I think that most of us want to be fitter and healthier too.

i think kaitie should trademark the "no crappy food" diet... its been working for me..
