A year ago I started on a program called De Danske Vægtkonsulenter/Weightconsultants and it's just perfect, you have this program you cross off and follow, all food is weighed (in the beginning, anyway, after a while you know how much 170 g. of meat is).
The main rules are:
No sugar, use artifical sweetener in stead (moderately!).
4 pieces of fruit a day.
300 g. of vegetables for lunch and dinner, so 600 g. all in all per day.
Only lean meat (no duck, fois gras, lamb).
Fish 3 times a week.
A lot of milk-products every day.
Certain amounts of cheese are allowed, but no fatter than 27%.
Lots of eggs!
No nuts and dried fruit (too much sugar).
Of course, there are specific measurments for all these things. Write me a pm if you are interested in details.
It works like a charm, I'm losing 2 pounds/1 kg. a week (it varies, sometimes only 1,5 and sometimes 3). I don't exercise strenuously (I don't like sports and I hate gyms), but I do bike a lot almost every day. I've been on this program before, last summer, and I lost 28 pounds during a period of 4-5 months but then had to stop for a period (a year), and now I'm working on it again.
Oh, I might also mention that this concept is somewhat like Weight Watchers (I think, I've never tried WW), you are supposed to go to these meetings weekly and get weight and hear "inspirational speeches". I never did that, I just went first time and then a second time some months after starting. I hated it and found the "inspirational speeches" cheesy and discouraging, and I didn't want to pay for them. Do just to let you know that it's possible to do it on your own as well, as long as you have their little manual and the diet plan (you need to go to an intruduction meeting to get that, and it costs a small amount).
