I lost weight slowly by eating a normal sensible diet. 30 pounds lost so far. I still eat some junk foods once in a while, but less often and smaller servings. Instead of buying the larger bargain packs, I buy 1 small snack pack. Yes, they cost more, but I'd rather spend a bit more per serving and get a portion controlled pack. Fortunately for me we have small packs of chips and such, like you would put in a kids lunch box available at the corner markets. I buy 1 and get my junk food fix without a ton of calories. My big diet downfalls are fats, butter, olive oil and pasta. I cut back on how much I used in my cooking without making any major diet changes. I still eat the same as before, but I use less fat and cook about 10% less pasta per meal.
