Calorie counting is for girls and fairies, which are you boy?
When my belt starts to get tight I eat less and exersize more, I can't see why it needs to be more complex than that, I suppose you could use a pair of scales if you want to be fancy. it seems pretty obvious which foods are higher or lower in fat, sugar etc, so it's just a matter of eating at a rate you can work off. I'm not saying I always do this, but it's simple enough to understand.

I think people are generally looking for magic solutions that will let them eat what they like and not get fat.

if it were that simple there would be no fat people
some people clearly have psychological issues. and some people genuinely do seem to lack the hormone that tells you when you're full. a lifetime of depriving yourself and feeling hungry and working out just to stay average, whilst your mates can eat and drink whatever they like, ok within reason but compared to you, must seem impossible.

it is that simple
in terms of a physical process. if it were that easy to do I'd be 2 stone lighter. And yes, I grant your points but none of then apply to the bender who started the thread, also much money is being made trying to mystify the process when it's really not needed.

people want a quick fix
other people rip them off. this is also true.

but i maintain that the fads can work IF you accept they are a very short-term kickstart to being healthy, because they give you a beginning boost. eg i wanted to lose a stone after new year. so i did my faddy water diet for a week, lost half a stone, and the other half has come off over the following month with eating healthily and running 3-5 times a week.

if you think they are a magical wand that will make you thin so you can stuff your face, or you think you can do them for more than a couple of weeks, you're an idiot.

haha
i measure it by results - i know how much weight i lost, and it's all stayed off, so i consider that a success.

but it never ceases to amaze me that people starve on a diet, then eat like hogs, then blame the diet for putting it all back on.
