LOL well you've heard my overly voiced opinion on the dieting subject many times...see your doctor first (in my case - see my reproductive endocrinologist!) to find out if you have any medical conditions or are on any meds which might interfere with dieting and/or metabolism...
Personally I'm more for controlled carbs than anything - stick with the good carbs and stay away from the bad carbs (pasta, rice, low fiber cereals, junk foods, soda, candy, desserts, candy, you get the idea). Try to keep your carb count around 100g a day (RDA is ridiculously high at 300g plus) "before" subtracting fiber carbs out.
Don't eat low/no fat processed foods, try to make things from scratch instead! These processed foods can be high in additives, preservatives and heaven knows what else toxic!!!!!
And a certain amount of good fats is needed every day in order for your body to survive and function properly...
