Yeah, its called the healthy eating/common sense diet: eat three balanced meals a day (with protein, carbs and fat), 5 portions of fruit/veg and do 3 1hr sessions of exercise a week.
check out the healthy living society
how tall are you/what do you weigh/how much do u wanna lose/what are your eating & exercise habits like now?
i suggest trying to lead a healthy lifestyle (i.e. healthy portions of healthy foods) combined with exercise that you enjoy. it may help you to count calories, and calculate how many calories you need to maintain your weight. http://www.caloriecontrol.org/calcalcs.html
also find out your BMI to find out if u need to lose weight, or if you are already at a healthy weight. you can also find out if your goal weight would be healthy. basically if you don;t need to lose weight for health then id suggest improving your eating habits (i.e get the calories you need from healthy foods), and doing more exercise to tone up. everybody should lead a healthy lifestyle, whether they need to lose, maintain, or gain weight.

The GI diet is good; it follows healthy eating, rather than any fad diets.
Eat 5-6 times a day, eating little and often. Eat no less than than 1200 kcal a day, and excercise 3 - 4 hours a week.
Make sure you get a mix of carbs, fats, protein, sugar and veg. Make sure you eat 5 fruit&veg a day, and drink 1. 5 litres of water.

is that all the criteria? No upper limit on the calories? Do I have to eat the sugar

can you explain what imparts "balance" to a meal? I've never understood what it means and fear that others are in the same situation. What does infact constitute a "balanced" diet, and why cant you just disambiguate it with some numbers?
Simulatio
Some people tend to think that the less you eat, the faster you'll lose weight, and so cut down to minimal amounts. And it just doesn't work.So I was just saying that you have to eat that as a minimum.

I believe I would lose weight at a higher rate by eating less than 1200 cals/day than more than 1200.
US Food pyramid guidline (link)
"balanced" means eating a mix of everything. It means enjoying the food that you are eating, and not getting hung up on amounts or weights, but eating what feels natural. The meal plan I had in hospital was:
Br. Bowl of cereal, fruit, and fruit juice
Sn. fruit
Lu. hommous salad sandwich, fruit juice
Sn. cereal bar/small chocolate bar
Di. meat/ meat substitute, vegetables, carbs (such as pasta, potatoes)
Sn. fruit/cereal.
Each meal/snack with water, too.
But I'm in no means a qualified nutritionist, thats what I was eating in hospital. x

I'm not saying that you wouldn't lose weight, I'm saying that it wouldn't work.
You'd either get seriously ill, or you'd crash your metabolism meaning that you actually gain weight when you start eating more again.
And trust me, you can't spend the rest of your life eating < 1200. x

If you don't eat enough calories your metabolism slows to stop you starving, so you burn off fat much slower and therefore lose weight much much slower than you would if you just ate healthily and exercised regularly.

Ok, so I eat a mix of "everything" (I assume you just mean all macronutrients). I enjoy the food, certainly! I never weigh or think about how many calories I eat. It definately feels natural. BUT IM STILL OBESE, WHAT IS WRONG. Is there nothing else to your concept of "balance" in a diet? What does it really mean.

orly? Where is this compensation point? For example, will I lose weight faster eating 1000cals than 500? Eating more certainly does speed one's metabolism but Im curious to know, with evidence, what effect is actually observed. Can you put some numbers on this oh-so-TSR concept?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry that you're still struggling.
I'm not a nutritionist, though. I'm a seventeen year old girl who has serious problems with her eating habits. I don't know any more than what I've already told you.
As I said, your best bet is probably to go and speak to your doctor, ask for their advice. x

you used the term "balanced" and I want to know what you meant by it. Im not asking how best to lose weight; im trying to understand what you meant in your post (if anything).
Rock Eleven - to be fair Simulatio is actually probably right about the best way to lose weight in the long term. Of course eating 1500 calories a day will make you lose weight faster than cutting down from 2300 to 1900 but which is more sustainable? Yes, will power etc comes into it, but there are health risks associated with ridiculously low calories diets. I don't agree that "balance" is what is needed to lose weight - you will lose weight at the same rate if you eat 1500 calories with 1000 being protein and 500 being carbs as vice versa (very simplistic divide obviously). However, again there do seem to be health benefits to eating fruit and vegetables which go beyond losing weight. The same health benefits seem to apply to avoiding high fat/protein diets without any carbs.
The fact is that to lose weight you need to have a calories deficit and the larger this deficit the faster you lose weight. So in effect if you are eating 1500 calories and burning 2000 you will lose faster than if you are eating 1950 and burning 2000. However, losing weight ridiculously quickly can lead to less wanted side effects. Also for people suffering from eating disorders the simplistic "eat next to nothing" message is very unhelpful whereas a balanced (yet calorie deficient) diet might help a person lose weight so as not to feel **** without messing them up psychologically and physically.

The numbers will depend entirely on you and your metabolism, of course you need to eat less calories than you use to lose weight but if you eat approx. <1000-1200 calories your body tries to hold onto any fat you have, so you get your energy from protein (your muscles) when your glycogen stores have gone. Burning up your muscles lowers your metabolic rate so you burn up energy even slower, so you lose weight slower, and the cycle will continue until you eat properly.
