All diets are fads, and you'll find someone who will praise them as well as someone who will condemn them.

Ultimately you need to be aware of what you are putting into your body. Not just the quantity, but the quality. Don't do it for a day, or a week or a month, make it a lifestyle. Drinking a glass of sunny D, for instance, isn't the same as drinking a glass of 100% natural orange juice.

People look at the labels for numbers but not what's in food, and that can be misleading.If your cheese isn't actually cheese but "cheese product", chances are, it isn't good for you. If they pump something full of chemicals to give it a ridiculously long shelf life, it will be more difficult to digest.

People drink a ton of high fructose drinks that account for a ton of bad calories AND bad carbs. Illiminating soft drinks alone will make a huge difference.

Make sure you get enough vitamin B and drink water. Drinking bottled water was the hardest thing for me to get used to after drinking a retarded amount of pepsi, but I've lost 20lbs this year, and that's a huge factor. I put the weight on, because I went from being on my feet all day and walking a lot, to sitting down at my desk all day.
