Lower Calorie: Any diet that has you take in fewer calories than you need will help you lose weight. Weight loss is a very simple equation: energy in (calories) - energy out (exercise)= energy difference. If this number is positive, you lose weight. If it is negative, you gain weight. Everything else is just hype and marketing.

Low Carb Diets: Low and very low carb diets have the best results for weight loss and for maintaining weight loss. These work by causing ketosis, that is removed when the patient drinks a lot of water. But any diet only works well if you maintain the diet, and the loss. Find a diet you like, increase your activity, drink a lot more water, and stay with it

Feed your adrenals : Cortisol - as are all corticosteroids is derived from cholesterol. Studies have shown that a high saurated fat, low polyunsaturated fat diet will increase corticosteroid levels. Also supplementation with pregnenolone will increase ability of your adrenals to make cortisol, progesterone, estrogen, testosterone and other corticoids. Reduce all forms of stress. Get sleep and sunlight.
