Diet change for weight loss is a huge subject. I have lsot about 90 lbs over five years by changing my diet. What works for me might not work for you, but here it is.

For me it involved a conscious choice to change my way of eating for life. This is complicated by the fact that my wife and I were both obese, and for five years only one of us has made the choice. I would have lost weight faster, and not hit so many frustrating plateaus if the entire family had been on board. I have been floating around the border of obese and overweight for over six months. If you can get your entire family on board, good. Otherwise, it will take some determination.

I follow what is called the Mediterranean diet. This is often prescribed for people with a history of heart disease, but is recommended for others as well. There is no specific plan for this, just some general guidelines such as; avoid highly processed carbs like sugar and white bread, eat whole grains and starches in moderation, beef and pork only once or twice a week, protean mostly from chicken, fish and beans. More than half of your total calories should come from plant sources.
