The very best way to go about regaining health, and losing the extra weight without damaging the body, and ensuring you will not gain it back, is to eat Real Traditional Foods.
Dump all processed foods, and all ideas of low fat being a good idea.
Every cell in our body is made up of 50% saturated fat. The brain is fed by saturated fat.
There is a reason why low fat dieters get so cranky.
And, yes, it has been proven, even before the theory was announced, saturated fat does not cause heart disease.
Processed milk and processed oils do.
A diet high in good fats, moderate protein and low carb will always work.
Good fats to consume are real lard ( not storebought), raw butter and raw coconut oil.
Science has proven over and over the these are not only good for the body, they are in fact essential.
They will also go a long ways in preventing dementia in later life.
And just in case you are curious, real fats will not out on pounds. It is impossible for that to happen.
However, fake fats, processed sugars and processed carbs will and do pack on the pounds.
I am very passionate when it comes to teaching others how to regain health by eating real foods.
Nourish the body. Do not deprive it.
By the way, I strive to get 50 to 70% of my calories from real fats.
This means I am not feeling hungry all the time, nor am I craving junk.
I have not attained a proper weight yet, due to a slow healing thyroid, but I have a very different body form what I had when I left behind conventional dieting.
It truly works.
And no, I do not profit from any of this
