I got a lot of useful information, tips and techniques from the Hacker's Diet: http://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/ http://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/ It's been discussed many times here on HN: http://searchyc.com/submissions/hacker%2527s+diet?sort=by_date http://searchyc.com/submissions/hacker%2527s+diet?sort=by_da... Personally I used it to lose about 30 pounds over the course of about 6 months, and I've mostly kept it off. I'm going back onto it to lose about 10 pounds that have crept back on.

Hackers diet is good.. but very simplistic as far as diet information goes. Sure it's easy to model your body as calories in = calories out + weight change, but that's kind-of like modeling atoms as pure indivisible lumps of matter.... It gets you 80% of the way there (and that might honestly be enough for most people) -- but there's a whole world of nutritional science that it ignores. Related note: http://alwyncosgrove.com/2010/01/hierarchy-of-fat-loss/ http://alwyncosgrove.com/2010/01/hierarchy-of-fat-loss/ is probably the best summary of what to do on the exercise side..
