Go high carb, low fat, whole foods, plant-based VEGAN! 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.

1st of all, CALM DOWN. theres ALOT of fruits and veggies that taste vry well. such as strawberries. i usally put them in the freezer for the night and eat them for breakfast. and its harder to eat thigs if they are frozen. and you have to eat them SLOWLY. witch is the best way to eat the food. and just beacuse you eat fruit dsoent exacttaly mean its a good thing. just like any other food, you cant eat that MUCH. its not good for you, either. but if you do what i did, you might start to SAVE some pounds. NOT lose weight. but it WILL help IF, IF ou usally do something active. and its ALSO not a good thing to not have sugar. beacause if you work out with out having sugar, that where all your energy comes from. and if you dont have any energy from all the hard work that you are doing, you could pass out. but stawberries DO have sugar in it, NATURALLY. so, thats a GOOD thing to eat BEFORE you work out. just work at it, and every week, get alittle moore strickt about it.

The first syllable in diet is di... and that is exactly what your body is doing when you deprive it. Instead of looking for a quick fix (no such thing) start looking at programs/healthy lifestyles that teach you how to manage food intake without depriving yourself of the things you love. Weight Watchers is a great program for that. It teaches you how to make good food choices from the things that are already around you while also learning how to "treat" yourself without going overboard. You can do a walk-in program or do it all online. I lost 75lbs on WW and it changed the way I look at food. That's just one program, there are others, just look around to see what fits your lifestyle. Leave crash diets behind.Not only are they horrible for you, but the longer you do them, the more difficult weight loss will become as you age. Good luck.

The reason you're over-eating is to compensate for your under-eating phases. Do your best to stop restricting. When you give your body the food it needs and when it needs it, it won't want to "hoard" food.
