Where are you starting from? What do your typical meals look like? There are multiple ways to lose weight, not all equally healthy. However, our typical diets are so bad, that many ways to lose weight are improvements: stop drinking sodas, stop eating junk food, eat more fruits and vegetables, are common to many diets.
We separate carbohydrate found in whole natural foods from that found in refined and processed foods, often combined with other refined and processed ingredients and even totally artificial ingredients. Whole grains, beans, potatoes are different from white bread and french fries.
