Eat 80 percent of what you need to maintain current weight.

I read in the book, MINDLESS EATING, that eating 20% more or less in a day is not noticed.  That is eating 20% more won't stuff me and eating 20% less won't drive me insane with hunger. 

I tried this by going to a web site to find out how many calories I need to maintain my current weight.  I took 80% of that and proceded to go on my diet.  It works but very slow going; I lost 1 or 2 lbs a week. 

Then I decided to add moderate low carb to the diet.  Not insane low carb.  Somewhere around 30 to 50 grams of net carbs per day.  Then I started to lose 1/2 to 1 lb a day.

somersize

Somersizing isn't really a low carb diet, it's a great way to lose weight with food combining. The basic concept is you do not mix your proteins and carbs together. You also cut out anything "white". No white flour, sugar, breads, potatos etc...in Suzanne's book Eat Great Lose Weight it is explained in detail and tells you why it works. Everytime I want to lose weight I eat this way and the pounds come off. You can have good carbs. Whole wheat pasta, brown rice,cereal/with out all the sugar,etc..but you can't have it with proteins/fats.And vice versa, if you want a steak, you may have it with a salad or vegetable. No potato.There are a lot of good recipes in her book as well. My husband and I have lost a lot of weight eating this way
