I don't believe in dieting in the sense that it is a temporary fix. I try and change my habits as research comes out. I also don't believe in calorie restriction in the sense that although the physics work, other factors cause the approach to fail. To get an idea why I think this is so, try breathing "less air" sometime and see how long you keep it up. -Don't eat reduced-fat or "diet" foods. Most of them reduce satiety. I have found, personally, that fats make me feel full, but I can eat an unlimited amount of carbs. Unsaturated fats are ideal. I avoid trans fats everywhere possible. -smaller plate-size hack http://fooddemocracy.wordpress.com/2008/02/29/mindless-eating-why-we-eat-more-than-we-think/ http://fooddemocracy.wordpress.com/2008/02/29/mindless-eatin... -eat breakfast (oatmeal or something with fiber) -avoid white carbs in favor of whole grains (release energy slowly) and swap out white pasta for whole grain pasta and white breads for whole grain breads. View white bread as a rare treat. -cut out soda and high fructose corn syrup as much as possible (corn syrup is a more recent addition to our diets that may mess up insulin/satiety) -weight training--I had great return on exercise (ROE) with the four hour work week's 30 minute regimen from his blog and I seem to need to do this and run to stay slim. -run (3x a week at least) -get all required sleep, with naps (some research indicates that over-eating and sleep deprivation are linked)
