Other than exercise and calorie controlled food intake has anyone come across a diet that works for them in the long term?

Is there a secret to long term weight loss ?
yes. commitment to a healthy lifestyle. Weight loss is just a very cool side effect of healthy lifestyle choices.
My healthy lifestyle includes a 1200 to 1800 calorie a day eating plan and 30 to 60 minutes a day of sweat.
The one good thing about this is that you can eat whatever you like in moderation and exercise is just plain good for you. There's nothing else that will give you lasting results. If you fall off the wagon once in a while then it's not a big deal..you simply pick yourself up and vow to do better next time. If you stick with it, it will become a habit and easier and easier to "think healthy first".
Good luck and I hope this gives you some ideas...

Don't you imply EFFECTIVE? There aren't any SECRETS to weight reduction. What is needed is the subject to burn extra energy than you devour. A blend of vitamin and recreation will have to be your target. There aren't any FAST weight reduction methods, which can be particularly beneficial. To unfastened weight too quick is NOT healthful.

Walking and doing housework is the best exercise for losing fat and ensure that your diet does not include any high calorie foods. Formulate your own weight loss plan and you will lose weight faster. From http://myweight.info

focus on being healthy and fit and changing the body composition. only when the body fat is under control will long term weight management be a reality. far too many people focus on those numbers on the scale and on doing every thing "quick and fast".
there is nothing quick and fast about being healthy and fit, it's a lifestyle not a passing fancy.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but in the long run no fad diet will help you. The best route to getting long term results is hiring a nutritionist and person trainer.

Try using the Mediteranian food pyramid instead of the US one. It is set up a little differently and based heavily on protien coming from beans and fish rather than the typical US meats. It is relatively easier to make the switch too, very healthy, and a bonus is staying slim!

If you haven't been to the Dr. recently you may have him/her check your thyroid. I have hypothyroidism and very slow metabolism but there are medications to help some with that.

use a dash of cinnamon to give fruits such as bananas and melons a richer dessert feel without the sugar
