I'll start if ya'll don't mind?!
I am eating holistically- whole grains, fruits & veggies, legumes, good oils, seeds & nuts, and soy products (tofu, tempeh, etc.)
It was very difficult to omit cheese and dairy out of my diet and sometimes I backslide, but always return to this vegan diet because I feel really good about myself when I'm on it. I eat between 1500-2000 calories a day and manage about 20-25 grams of fat (all good fats) a day, but in both cases if I go over it doesn't really affect my weight loss negatively. This is my own diet, but I think Dr. Ornish writes something similar, he does the "eat more, weigh less" regime. It works for me.
The way I started was to follow the vegan food guide pyramid and not add calories or fats. Amazingly, if I go back and add what I've eaten in the day I fall within the correct range. For example, 5 servings of grains, 6 servings of soy, 3 + of veggies and so on. This also helped me to learn what it is to eat 1 serv. of something, which I didn't know because I didn't grow up eating nutritiously AT ALL.
I look forward to hear what the rest of you's are doing!

I've lost somewhere between 10 and 14 pounds, and look forward to more soon. The journalling really helps me. I can see where I stumble and make notes about what kinds of foods I like and which I should space out. I work out six days a week (MWF weights, TThSat cardio) and I take Sunday to do whatever I like and eat whatever I want, as dictated by the BFL plan. It makes it easier to set aside things during the week. If I find I want something really badly during the week I can plan to have it on Sunday.

Good topic.
Atkins for me - lots of veggies, unprocessed meats and healthy unsaturated fats.
