Finding your best weight loss plan
http://www.helpguide.org/life/healthy_weight_loss_plans.htm >viewMany diets can help you lose weight in the short term, but are not as helpful for lifelong maintenance. They either are too restrictive, making them impossible to stick to long-term, or they don’t address the psychological component of healthy weight loss. Bottom line: it’s a personal choice – find a healthy weight loss plan (or design a personalized program for yourself) that feels good; is easily to maintain over the long run; takes into account the foods you like and dislike; works with your lifestyle; and doesn’t leave you feeling hungry or deprived. If one plan doesn’t work for you, then try a different one.
Below you will find the basic principles (and expert opinions) behind some of the most popular weight loss plans
For comprehensive information on each of the following diets, use the links to Fact Sheets by Northwestern University Feinberg School of Nutrition and reviews by Web MD.
Weight Watchers
Weight WatchersWhat it is: “Retrains” you to commit to a sensible diet consisting of healthy, ordinary food (nothing expressly forbidden), exercise and a positive attitude. Cornerstone is weekly meetings and weigh-ins, stressing moral support and self-monitoring.
What you eat: Dieters choose the “Winning Points” plan, which assigns point values to foods and then allots a certain number of points to be eaten over the week; or the “Core” plan, based on eating specified foods. Dietary restrictions can be accommodated. Both plans are built around Weight Watchers Healthy Eating Guidelines.
Pros: Group support, emphasis on healthy lifestyle, and wide options for food choices; no packaged foods to buy.
Cons: Group approach isn’t for everyone; may be cost-prohibitive.

Pros: A lot of support – 24/7 phone and online support, weekly meetings. Encourages portion control; minimal meal preparation good for busy people.

Coffee calories: Sabotaging your weight-loss plans?
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/calories/NU00185 >viewA plain cup of brewed coffee contains zero fat and only a couple of calories. It's how you dress up your coffee that makes a difference in the fat, sugar and calorie count — and your weight-loss plans.
Consider this: One tablespoon (about 15 milliliters) of whipping cream adds more than 50 calories and 5 grams of fat to a cup of coffee, and 1 tablespoon of sugar adds nearly 50 calories. One tablespoon of fat-free milk, on the other hand, adds only 5 calories. Carefully read product labels as you consider how to flavor your coffee.
What goes into the brew you order at your local coffee bar also matters. For example, at one popular coffee franchise, a 16-ounce (473-milliliter) caffe latte espresso made with fat-free milk contains 130 calories and 0 grams of fat. The same drink made with whole milk contains 200 calories and 11 grams of fat. Before ordering, check out the nutrition information provided by the coffee bar, either in person or online.
When it comes to weight loss, remember that all calories count — even calories in liquid form.
