I just want to add a simple point. I hear the word "diet" (in terms of weight loss) and the connotation is that you will eat something different while you lose the weight, then go back to being "normal". All this tends to do is create a situation where the person's weight fluctuates dramamtically.
Deciding to eat healthier is a life decision, not a 3 month quick fix.
Is it time consuming to cook your own food? yes. Is it really an unmanageable large effort? no way.
Also, people seem to think dieting is a strict regime. Maybe it is, but you should not spend your life eating something tasteless for a healthier lifestyle - you do have to eat, so you may as well cook things you enjoy eating. And as far as I'm concerned, you can still have treats as long as you have control, or you don't overdo it.
