I don't think I said there is one right way, there isn't, but maybe it didn't come across right.
That said it is conceptually simple: eat less than you burn and you will lose *weight*. That's it. Doing it - executing - AND optimizing for body composition while earning a living, working on relationships, kids, etc is not easy. But here - I'll prove to you that it's conceptually easy: you, me, Maureen, and probably most people on this list have done it! So it's neither conceptually difficult, nor very unique or special. If someone wants to lose 220 lbs in 9 months watch The Biggest Loser and follow along. Go to the web site. its all right there.
