IMO the best way to lose weight is moderation. Eat what you enjoy (and doesn't upset you) and add healthy foods you know you should eat. Eat often during the day, graze rather than gorge. Eat till you don't feel hungry, not till you feel full. Drink lots of filtered water, more than you think you want to or can. Two pounds a week is excellent, and is maintainable, as is the way of eating. Pick something you can do for life, not a diet.
