A diet isn't "the amount of food and drink consumed." A diet is an eating routine or habit. A diet can consist of anything, as long as it's habitual. And most people do diet for health (to lose weight, stay trim, reduce heart disease, etc.), perhaps this is the stem of the confusion.

Although I don't know what your diet is now, I know when I removed sugary drinks from my diet and went to water I dropped 15 pounds in 3 weeks and it has stayed off.  That is where I would start first.  I now occasionally have a soda, but I view it more as an occasional treat not as a daily source of empty calories.  \n\nAlso, read The Zone Diet by Dr. Sears.  I dont' adhear to the diet religiously but he does a great job of explaining in everyday terms how the body stores and uses calories.  Quite an eye opener.\n\nBest of luck!

sounds like the Susanne Somers diet. She puts food into those groups and you never mix a fat with a starch, etc.\nIt's explained in her books.  I have lost weight with her recipes and advice\nAlso Marilu Henner has books on diets similar.

It may not be what you eat but how you eat. You can eat pretty much what you want as long as you use strict portion control.\nAlso, vary your exercise, the body can get used to one type of exercise.\nHave you tried water aerobics? It's really fun plus you have the resistance of water to help you.

If you're so anxious to see results, you're in the wrong track. It's also discouraging to call it a "regime". Make only those changes you can stick to FOR LIFE and forget about results. Easy diet: eat 8 servings of veggies and fruit every day and drink a minimum of 2 liters of water. Easy exercise: walk for 30 to 60 minutes at 5 or 6 km/h.

Fill your plate with veggies!  Eat whole wheat instead of white whenever possible (bread, rice, cereal, etc)  Buy sugar free/ or fat free whenever possible.  There is a program on PBS called Sit And Be Fit. Try that!  Good Luck!

Well I have never been on a crush diet. But a crash diet is the worst thing to do. Get out and move everyday, also seriously stop and think about that junk food before you eat it. What will you get from eating it? Does it really benefit your body to eat it? And are you really hungry or is it just an impulse to eat because something set you off? If that doesn't work think about what bad things it will do to your body? If its fried about how it will clog your arteries and shorten your life.

That depends on what you mean by low carb,their are many variations some people consider the zone diet to be low carb but really it includes some carbohydrates.A low carb diet centered on lean meats,nuts,seeds,legumes,and clean sources of protein like fish combined with lots of fresh vegetables and fruits,hardly sounds unhealthy.However the Atkins style diet of bacon,porkrinds,and buckets of mayo is a ticket for a coronary bypass.\nOur ancestors ate a high protein low carb diet,but never carb free,they got their healthy carbs through things like berries,squash and fresh fruits,they ate tons of vegetables whatever they could grow,and ate what ever they could fish or hunt,grains are very new on the scene of human evolution,and excess grains are one of the central players behind the obesity epedimic in America. A healthy low carb diet includes plenty of fresh fruits,vegetables and low-glycemic carb sources,is low in saturated fat and high in omega 3s and protein.

High intensity exercise combined with a healthy eating plan, NOT a diet as diet's are only temporary!!\n\nExpend more calories than you take in, this is what it ultimetly comes down to.
