But diets don't work!
Dieting can help us lose weight (fat, muscle, and water) in the short term but is so unnatural and so unrealistic that it can never become a lifestyle that we can live with, let alone enjoy.
While very few diets teach healthy low-fat shopping, cooking, and dining-out strategies, many offer unrealistic recommendations and encourage health-threatening restrictions. Even more important, diets don't teach us the safest, most effective ways to exercise; they don't teach us how to deal with our cravings and our desires, or how to attend to our feelings of hunger and fullness. Eventually, we become tired of the complexity, the hunger, the lack of flavor, the lack of flexibility, the lack of energy, and the feeling of deprivation. We quit our diets and gain back the weight we've lost; sometimes we gain even more!

Which is why you shouldn't diet ... you should make lifestyle choices that are more healthy. If you are eating well, and exercising, you will have more energy, not less. You won't lose muscle either if you do it correctly. the key is, and always has been, eat healthy. get moving. eat food in it's natural state when ever possible. it's really very simple. you don't need a "diet plan" to tell you how to eal well, and how to shop, etc. and you don't need a web site that tells you dieting is bad, so stay heavy.
kinda like the website that says bras cause cancer.
