Before changing my eating habits, I weighed slightly less than a Trailways bus. So I embarked on something I call the Don't Eat Like a Pig diet.

Anyway, the point is that I lost the weight by cutting out fats and watching calories, which is similar to the Weight Watchers approach.

As the diet study showed, you could probably get the same result on the [Atkins] diet, which means watching your carbs and loading up on steaks and cheese instead of pasta and breads.
