The amusing thing about dieting is that its idiot simple.

EAT LESS CALOIRES THAN YOU BURN AND YOU WILL LOSE WEIGHT.

Its that simple. It doesn't matter if you eat steamed broccoli or a bucket of lard, your body can't violate the laws of physics.

Now eating healthy is a whole different issue, and takes more work, but again....

EAT LESS CALORIES THAN YOU BURN AND YOU WILL LOSE WEIGHT.

I am not sure why this concept is so difficult for people to grasp.

Lets take for example a McD's number 6 grilled ranch blt, with a coke.

Thats

Sandwhich: 490
Fries: 350
Coke: 210

Total = 1050

Now for my size and exercise level my 'break even' calories was calculated at 2600 a day.

I now have 1550 to play with if I want to maintain my weight.

Eat less than that I should lose weight, more I should gain.

When I was in weight loss mode I would just have the sandwhich, which despite the bacon and mayo, is 490 caloires, and it worked just fine.
