I recommend The Zone.

Dr. Barry Sears.
Original book was Enter the Zone - you can get it anywhere. Library probably has it. . .
Website is http://www.drsears.com

He characterizes it as a moderate carb diet. . .it is lumped in w Low Carb, but it is not.

For protein sources he recommends lean poultry, fish, cottage cheese.

Yogurt is a staple for me. . .I eat about 4 cups a day.

When you first read it, it seems complicated but it is extremely easy. You eat 5 meals a day, (3 meals two snacks) based on your weight, height, activity level. Every meal you eat has to be balanced between protein, carbs, and fat. ((VERY easy to do) You lose about 8lbs a month.

OTOH nothing is forbidden. . .If you want a piece of pie every once in a while, go ahead. . .just need to balance it out w some protein (piece of cheese, turkey, etc:

This has literally changed my life for the better. I never feel deprived, I never have that bad yuck I am on a diet feeling. Actually, I felt physically BETTER after two weeks, and I have tremendous energy. My last physical was much much improved. Send me a message if you want details.
