The diet I recommend for great weight loss that is accompanied by working out is low carbohydrate, high protien and healthy oils. The days of just eating meat and cheese were a quick and unhealthy idea for weight loss, this is why. Red meat and cheese have a lot of saturated fat and cholesteral. This is what I call "heart stoppers". You will lose weight, though. The reason you lose weight, even with bad fats, is you put your body into a state of ketosis. This state is where your body looks for carbs and sugars to burn first. When it doesn't find them it will attack your fat in deperation causing quick fat burn. The problem is you are only feeding you body atery clogging food. Good fats like omega 3 and monounsaturate fats will give your body the energy it needs and not clog up your ateries. These good fats are found in fish, nuts, and olive oils. I list them because they are equally low in carbs. This will cause your body to burn fat. The next type of food you need is the high protiens to feed your growing muscles. Great high protien meals include tuna, chicken, nuts and eggs. I also choose to list these foods specifically because they are low in fat and huge in protien. Now, can most of us only eat these foods? The answer is no. The key is to include them with some of your favorite low carb foods. They will help fill the gaps that some low carb foods don't fill. You have to eat the cheese and red meat if you want it. Unhappy people will relapse. Its almost a fact. It has to be fun and rewarding. Set a day of the week where you have some ice cream. Grab a slice of pizza. The key is to stay on track and stay happy. Take a friend to the gym. Research new low carb recipies. Get into it! The most important thing is that you slightly alter your schedule and move on with your activities. If you do this for a month, you will want to keep doing it. It is a healthy body machine. Don't forget to eat vegitables and take a daily vitamin. We can't neglegt the basics no matter what kind of diet we are on.
