How do I find the best type of diet?  

Instead of being overly concerned with counting calories or measuring portion sizes, think of your diet in terms of color, variety and freshness.  By simplifying your choices, it will be easier to make healthy choices.  Focus on finding foods you love and easy recipes that incorporate a few fresh ingredients.  Make your first stop in the grocery store the produce aisle and build your meals around the fruits and vegetables you love.  Add moderate amounts of meats, grains and dairy products to complete the meal.
