text: i am trying to loose weight and want to know what is the best plan to use like weight watchers or any others?   the thing with all the "diets" is that once you go off of them you will gain it back because you didn't learn how to live a normal life while losing weight.  instead of a diet, learn how to change your eating habits in a healthy way.  fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean meat and fish.  also begin an exercise program.  but you can't just change your diet until you lose the weight, you have to change your lifestyle.
