Agree, it's totally confusing trying to understand what is right and what is wrong. Let me break it down: 1. Yes, you do have to count calories. 2. Yes, try to eat fruits, veggies and whole grains with lean protein. If you can afford organic and grass fed beef, go for it. If you can't, it's fine. 3. I don't like fat free products, but do like lower fat, say 1 and 2% products, such as milk, cottage cheese, yogurt, etc. 4. Drink tons of water and green tea Good luck! Jim Greg:

Pollan and Alicia Silverstone was on, touting her vegan book "The Kind Diet". So, I understand "real food" which talks about portions, quality vs, quantity, real butter, real full fat dairy, grass fed beef, etc. Alicia talked about tofu turkey, rice cream dessert, earth balance margarine, veggies, no dairy, but ok with soy milk, etc. Aren't many of Alicia's food pretty processed and manufactured and many folks on the "real food" band wagon seem to be overeating and not losing weight - at least the ones I know. Final ? - Where does a program like Weight Watchers fit in - they use some processed foods, but I suppose you don't have to have them, use exercise, track food, group support, and seem to have success but some regain.... do you think WW is the best program out for the general public? Why? Exercise- w/weights a given for weight loss- but since diet is 75% - it gets confusing!! Thanks for your thoughts! Hi Jim, I have a couple questions on diet:
