The diet plans sell books.
Everything I have read says, lose weight increase calorie burn, decrease calorie intake (but don't decrease so much your body is starving) eat lots of fresh vegies and fruit and lots of different kinds of food. Indulge yourself, slightly, on those things you really like (I had a hot fudge sundae the other day) and exercise, walk, vigourously vacuum...whatever it takes to get the bod moving. My weakness is cheese and butter. I love cheese. I can loose 5 lbs if I cut out cheese and butter...mmmm butter.

Overweightness is definitely the lesser of the two evils but damnit there is nothing more frustrating than doing all that I do and seeing no results. Since this is a metabolic thing that is happening, then I think that there has to be a way to out fox it. Let's figure it out!
