I do better when I have something structured to follow, but that is just me. Some others have been having great success with customized plans.

IMO, the best diet is something you are going to stick to and that works with your lifestyle. I did fabulous on Atkins, but it was really difficult for me to stick to.

No matter what plan you go with, though, you are going to need to plan your meals a bit. I know it sucks, but it really does help to plan and track what you are eating.

I am a grazer, so Atkins is really easy for me. I do not care for cooked vegetables much so I eat my quota raw. Peanuts can take a long time to eat. It is simply a life style for me. I do not have to cook for a family, just my husband and he is a Celiac, and on a special diet a nyway.
