Attention: Dieters!
KNOCK THIS SHIT OFF.
Stop counting carbs. Stop counting calories. Stop taking pills and drinking nasty expensive shakes.
Food? You know that thing that you eat that makes you fat? Yeah, it has nutrients, chemicals, minerals, etc. in it. LEARN what these things are, learn what they do to your body, and understand how much of whatever you may or may not need for whatever. Then just make a mental note like, "Okay, I've eaten lots of bread today, I should probably get some yardwork done to UTILIZE ALL THOSE USEFUL CARBOHYDRATES /cruise control."
It's not that fucking hard, people. Train yourself to develop a distaste for things that are unhealthy, or only desire them every so often. I eat almost exclusively bread, vegetables, chicken, and fish (fruit is expensive, but I eat it whenever I have the opportunity). Why? Well, at the moment it's because beef tastes fucking disgusting to me. But why does beef taste fucking disgusting to me? Because every time I put it in my body I imagine what it's doing to my arteries.
Meat is a side dish, not a main course; you don't need that much protein (unless you're a very active athlete) and it's difficult for your body to digest, so it saps your energy to eat it. Fruit and vegetables have vitamins that fight sickness. AN ICEBERG LETTUCE SALAD IS POINTLESS, BECAUSE IT'S LITTLE MORE THAN WATER. And carbs are a precious energy-giving godsend, but white bread is unhealthy bleached filler.
Learn what foods have what nutrients/chemicals in them, learn what those things do to your body. Decide what you WANT to do with your body, and then remind yourself what a specific food is going to do everytime you eat it. You will train yourself to like healthy food and dislike unhealthy food.
The Atkin's Diet is fucking retarded.
