I think the key to picking a lifestyle that helps you lose weight is by really trying to tailor it to YOUR life. If you are a huge fan of fries and shakes, and you just wake up one day and say, "no more fries and shakes", it will not work. The key is to limit the amount of fries and shakes that you consume, or burn the calories through exercise. Being healthy does not mean you have to eat sprouts all day, just that you are getting plenty of exercise while eating sensibly. You can still enjoy your food!!
