I think the problem is with the definition of "diet." If diet means a
change in eating involving sacrifice that can only be sustained in the short
term, I wouldn't diet at all. Instead, I'd look for long-term lifestyle
change strategies.

To begin with, much less fat in the diet. No eating anything at least 3
hours before bedtime. Less refined carbs and more complex carbs. Lean
protein. 5 small meals per day vs. 3 huge ones. No skipping breakfast.
Choosing to get rid of cokes- why drink your calories? I doesn't satisfy.
More fruits and vegetables.

And then, as exercise increases and weight comes off, the eating plan can be
tweaked, but sustained over the long haul.
