Answer
Read about how to plan a simple diet based on the food groups in My Pyramid, and then make those foods fit into your calorie target for the day. For instance, if you have a budget of 1400 calories, and for breakfast, you eat 1 cup of Wheaties, 1 cup pf skim milk and half a large banana, then over the rest of the day, plan to eat 1 cup of fruit, 1.5 cups of vegetables, 4 ounces of grains, 4 ounces of meat or beans, 1 cup of milk, 4 tsp. of oil (in cooking and as a dressing like mayonnaise), and 170 additional calories to use however you'd like. Plan your meals for several days until you get the hang of it because the experience is invaluable; however, you are not locked in to any one plan because calorie counting is flexible.
Figure out what type of eater you are and you might just find the answer to permanent weight loss.
