You should never diet to extremes. You'll lose a few pounds and then gain them all and more back because your body hates you now.
The South Beach diet, which my wife and I adopted, helped us lose 30 pounds. It's more of a way of life; stop eating bleached flour, eat whole grains, eat more vegetables and fruit, skip the sugars, eat only lean meats, etc. I feel 100% better than I did a few years ago.
Walk around your neighborhood, or toss around a football or frisbee. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn just maintaining that muscle. Muscle takes like 100 times more calories to maintain than fat, per pound. So if you have 10 more pounds of muscle, that's 1000 calories you burn a day to keep that muscle tone. Lift some weights, do pushups, pullups, whatever. It's like a free ticket for that dessert. Also, maintaining flexibility will help you later in life.
Watch the stupid shit you eat and drink. Check out the calories and sugar grams in those fucking lattes, you dumbasses. You could have had a burger and fries and probably been happier and leaner, you moron. Processed sugar will fuck up your pancreas and make you a diabetic.
Cheat once in a while to satisfy cravings. Cravings will drive you crazy and will make you eat everything in the house instead of one lousy thing you're craving. Just go ahead and fucking eat those pizza rolls or those chips, then eat healthy for a week or two until you get those cravings again.
I was a Diet Coke-a-holic for like 10 years. I drank 2-3 a day at least. I was getting headaches on a daily basis, and my mind as foggy. Not any more... I drink water and tea, and my headaches are very rare and my mind is sharp (except for those 20 minutes in the morning before I have my daily coffee).
Oh yeah, caffeine and sugar will fuck up your sleep cycle too. Don't have any caffeine past like 4pm at the latest if you plan to sleep at a normal hour.
OBEY!
