There are many web sites but the problem is they are all written by "guru's" who have there own opinions and are often different than the next guys.
Weight loss is simple but requires some knowledge, commitment and most of all patience.
As I mention over and over again you must start with the basics, come up with a plan and FOLLOW it.
It's just like building a motor, you can throw a bunch of parts in it and hope you hit a majic combination that works or you can do what is known to work and tweak it from there.
I was at a point in time in a similar situation as you and many people. I had put on a "few" LOL extra pounds and could not loose them, so I started doing research and everywhere I turned I found conflicting opinions and info. After much reading I realized that with all the different opinions, they were for the most part, variations on the basics so I started there. After sticking with it for what seemed like ever I started noticing results, not one or two week results but graduall consistant results so then I became more commited and followed the basic strategies more stringently and realized I was onto something. All the FAD diets and magic pills are bullshit,many of them promise and deliver fast weight loss, things like loose 8lbs in two weeks etc. but they are not fat loss and draw you in to purchase the next suppliment or exercise and diet plan so the only thing you loose is your money. most of the websites and guru's are pushing supliments or ideas to fill their pockets with your money.
As I have suggested many times this is what I honestly think should be done by anyone trying to loose fat and transform their bodies. Get a simple, inexpensive body fat caliper such as an accumeasure. They are not the most accurate but are very consistant and ideal for our goals. From there you can determine your body composition (lean mass and fat) and figure out your caloric needs. From there you simple follow the basics and come up with a diet plan and stick with it and tweak it as needed. It will pay off and you will get the results you want but it will take patience and commitment.
If you're looking for overnight results then I am not the person who's advice you should follow because I don't have any magic pills or diet and exercise plans to suggest to you only practical, known to work strategies.
