Is there a diet not devised by a Quack?
All of them are faddish. There is a simple one: calculate how much energy you need a day (based on your age, your level of physical activity, and your gender). Eat a balanced diet according to your needs.
End of story.
Consistent exercise, drinking plenty of water along with healthy food decisions and portions. Key words being consistent and exercise.

Yes. Bottom line is you have to burn off more calories than you consume if you want to lose weight. It's really that simple. The 'problem' is that the body is quite efficient. If I kill it on a crosstraining machine, I can do 440 or so cals in 28 min by its readout. That's less than half a pint of Ben and Jerry's - not much.
My sister designed a good chunk of the Weight Watchers system - done right, it's legit. But the whole 'cut out carbs' etc is BS IMO as long as we're talking about complex carbs. They're a mistaken and easy villain in many diets.
my mother would always say, "chew the food, just don't swallow"

If your goal is to lose, weight, improve your immune system, and improve your daily performance, the word diet is a joke.
You need a life style change. Period.
I switched to a high nutrient, lower carbohydrate diet.
I am accomplishing two things here. I am recalibrating by body to fuel on protein and fat, rather than sugar and refined starches. This is how we are genetically programmed.
I eat very little bread, pasta, zero refined sugars where possible.
The rule is if it walked, swam, ran, or grew, eat it. If man made it, forget it.
