If you're a male don't do this. I don't care what you said in your next post. Your body needs sugars and fats. I'm not going into it here. But this, like Akins and all those crazy diets are full of crap. like most extreme diets people last about 20 to 30 days.

This link sums up the diet pretty well.

Here is a good link describing some of the differences between the Atkins.

I'm no nutritionist but I know when I was trying to lose weight in High School, I followed what I believe to be the most simple and basic principle that worked for me that twisted squid mentioned.
"6. Burn more calories than you consume." |
I'm one that likes the PALEO Caveman diet.
This fits your meat and potatoes types of country boy lifestyle!! EAT MEATS ALL MEATS!!!
This is my .02:
If you partake in alcohol and sprits. I say drop the BEER. Especially if it is a dark beer. For me yuengling does something to me in retaining water, yeah I know I sound like a women now. Piss off y'all
It's football season and dropping alcohol and sprits is just crazy. Research what you like to drink, look at the calories that liquor carries in it.
Why I like the paleo "diet,' because it's not a deit it is eating like cavemen did. They had no processed foods. So when you shop at the grocery store think about this shopping technique. Stay to the "edges" of the store. Your veggies, meats, daily are all on the edges of the store. No canned veggies, go for fresh or frozen. If you use sugar in your tea, coffee, ETC try honey and I use maple syrup for my "sugar." This when you are shopping, how fast will this go "BAD" and I have to throw it out?? Cut back, if not remove all grain; breads, cereals, pits breads, tortilla, etc. This falls back into the processed foods. But sometime you just have to. If you MUST have bread with your meat and potatoes,
Google almond flour. Better for you, you can make pancakes, bread, and pasta out of it. Whole lot about paleo, but you can have processed foods, but if you are a hard core, then you try to go no processed foods. Think what you can hunt or grow only.
If you have to snack at work, think veggies. Celery is said to be negative calories, meaning you burn calories eating it and it takes more for your body to break it down. I'm not a believer, but if it makes people eat more of it better for them.
One water, yes drink it. But not the only thing, to much water in your body hurts you. But do add a ton of ICE!!! The colder it is the better. It will make your CORE cold and make your body produce heat. Everything you drink, get it COLD as you can!!
Look on Youtube for body weight workouts.
Strength and Conditioning style workout; Crossfit, whatever you want to all this. Also look at doing in the morning before for a
TABATA or
HIIT style CARDO. Google and YouTube these. ton on there. Down load a
Tabata timer APP. There are some great timers out there, even with music. These are short 20 to 30 minutes that get your heart rate and you metabolism going. Then get your shower. You can also get a
workout of the day app, which are helpful once you lose weight and get in better shape.
Lastly you likely are not a runner. If you want to run look into a
Couch-to-5K App. These are great I've used them with my kids. They get you to run say 60 second, then you rest (walk) for 90 seconds. Then run for 60 Secound and you do this for 20 to 30 minutes. Starts you out slow and builds your endurance up, where by 6 weeks you can run a full 5K run. They make all kinds of running apps. But watch out for the "FREE" ones, you typically get the first 2 weeks free then you end up paying for the rest. I say just buy one, they are 0.99 to 1.99 for a cheap good 6 week program.
Lastly don't set a date to start, just DO IT!!! Best of luck.
