I'm not so sure my secrets work that great because I have been trying to lose 25-30 pounds for almost 4 years. The only thing I can say is that I haven't been gaining much. I'm on a brief streak now and eating normally (whatever normal is).
I am trying aversion therapy where I think yummy food is dog poo and so far this has really worked. I also am on weight watchers, spark and now dietBet.
