Here’s THE MOST SENSIBLE DIET TIP EVER (if you choose a SPECIFIC diet):
“The diet that works is the diet you stick with” – end of story! It doesn’t matter which one you follow. Of course portion is key and exercise also important. – Gayle King interviewing Dawn Zier, CEO of Nutri System on “CBS This Morning” Jan/03/2014.
Diets, like clothes, should be tailored to you – Joan Rivers
More die in the United States of too much food than of too little. ~John Kenneth Galbraith, The Affluent Society. Sad but true.
SPOILER Alert: Albert Einstein, who discovered that a tiny amount of mass is equal to a huge amount of energy, which explains why, as Einstein himself so eloquently put it in a famous 1939 speech to the Physics Department at Princeton, “You have to exercise for a week to work off the thigh fat from a single Snickers.” ~Dave Barry
My Favourite:
No diet will remove all the fat from your body because the brain is entirely fat. Without a brain, you might look good, but all you could do is run for public office. ~George Bernard Shaw
I’m not dieting, I’m just changing my eating habits”

The bad guys

to shed a few pounds.
3 Weight-Loss Lessons that Actually Work, According to Science
Forbescame up with a list of six of them, but these three to be especially intriguing.
Diet matters more than exercise. This isn’t to say that working out doesn’t matter…it does! But when it comes to weight loss, specifically, according to Samuel Klein, MD: “Decreasing food intake is much more effective than increasing physical activity to achieve weight loss. If you want to achieve a 300 [calorie] energy deficit you can run in the park for 3 miles or not eat 2 ounces of potato chips.” Experts say that it’s easy to binge after working out, so you end up taking in more calories than you had burned.
There’s no combination of foods that will magically make you lose weight. Low-fat, low-carb, vegetarian, no-sugar…experts say that it basically doesn’t matter what diet you follow, because there’s no real evidence that one particular diet will work better with your own metabolism. Basically, they say: Any diet will work if you follow it.
One calorie equals one calorie, even if it’s made up of nothing nutritious. Experts point to Mark Haub from Kansas State University, who lost 27 pounds eating nothing but junk food on the “Twinkie Diet.” Says Marion Nestle, Ph.D.: “A calorie is a calorie no matter what it comes from. You can gain weight eating too much healthy food as well as unhealthy. From the standpoint of health, it’s better to eat your veggies…. It’s just a lot easier to overeat calories from junk food than healthy food. But it can be done.”
What do you think of these weight-loss lessons?
Would you even consider something as crazy as a Twinkie Diet?
