1.	Paleo diet, eat all the meat, veg and fruit you want. [limited nut and fruit]. cut out carbs and processed foods. You can have 1-3 free meals a week to eat normally [but still don't go crazy]
2.	Experiment and look for new recipes so that you're always trying new things, that's a lot more interesting than eating the same "diet" meals all the time. try www.paleofood.com
3.	Although high in fructose, fruit is a great way to kick start this diet expecially if you've got a sweet tooth. Weight will still come off and as you get more comfortable with it you can swop some of the fruit for veggies.
4.	Most meals that you eat already can be adapted to be paleo friendly. Beef stew without potatoes, a roast chicken with roast carrots and other veggies, broccoli makes a great addition for stirfrys to soak up the sauce instead of rice.
5.	Nuts and dried fruit make an easy snack on the go, you can have 4oz nuts and 2 oz of dried fruit a day. Keep one in places you know make you likely to reach for the treats, like you desk at work.
6.	Melons for breakfast, 90% water or something like that and full of fibre so filling.
