It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change. I went vegan this year and have lost 40 pounds, with minimal exercise, and eating AS MUCH as I desire bringing down my BMI from 30 to 24. I weigh less now than I did throughout high school, as an overweight teenager, even when I exercised for hours while on Junior Varsity and Varsity sports teams. I went to my annual physical earlier this month, and even my doctor was in shock.
My goal for next year is to lose 30-40 more pounds, I just need to start exercising on a regular basis. Nothing crazy, just 30-60 minutes of jogging, Ballet Beautiful, bike riding.. things like that.
I think it's amazing what I've accomplished so far, just by changing my diet, though. It's a lot easier to go vegan than it seems. I was never vegetarian, I went from being able to eat an entire box of pizza or entire tub of ice cream in one sitting to a full-fledged vegan. I now spend a lot less money on groceries, have more energy (never need caffeine, and never feel lethargic like I used to on a regular basis), have more concentration, am learning to cook, and etc. Try it for a week, that's how I started, and I felt so good that I just kept going, and it's now been 5 months! You can get every nutrient from plant foods, including protein!
The only vitamin you need to supplement is B12, and one I personally recommend is Garden of Life's B12 spray (cause I personally hate swallowing pills, and methylcobalamin is better than cyanocobalamin). You can buy it at any health foods store (Whole Foods, Sprouts, Trader Joe's, etc.), or online.

[ Ever other day for at least 30mins Vigorously.] Eat healthy foods, look at a food pyramid to see what need's to be in your reg. diet. Make sure to eat the right portion not too much but not too little. Good Luck! [ Cherokee's advice column | Ask Cherokee A Question ]

Within your question you said that you binge.
This is a sign that a diet won't work for you and you need some appointments with a counsellor who is specially trained with eating disorders.
Binging stems from some kind of unhappiness in your life, and if you can deal with that, your weight should balance out.
If you don't deal with it, you will go up and down (mostly up) in your weight your whole life, even if you try every diet there is, because it is what is causing you to binge that is the problem.
A healthy person with a healthy weight doesn't binge, and doesn't need to diet.
Please try counselling, and don't be afraid to see them, as they love trying to help people, (you are keeping them employed as well!) and it will be really freeing for you and will alter your whole life! :-) [ bewise's advice column | Ask bewise A Question ]
