Got a problem? Dr Ranj Singh is here to offer his advice
I feel your pain. As someone who also struggles to stay a healthy weight, but adores food, I know just how difficult it can be. In simple terms, all diets work because they involve varying degrees of calorie restriction: if the number of calories you consume is less than the amount you are using up, you will lose weight. Different diets will dress this up in different ways, which can make them more or less effective depending on your individual circumstances. It is all about finding the right one for you. I always tell people that there are fi ve keys steps to achieving a healthy weight and lifestyle.
