Weight / Fat loss

I hate all this talk of dieting.

It's a lifestyle change. If you do some fad diet you'll go back to old ways and eventually end up where you started.

This. Diet in its original sense, rather than dieting. Most of the fad diet schemes are unsustainable in the long term and some of them as simply damaging to health (e.g. Dukan and the one by that fat jogger who died of a heart attack).
