Lifehack.org's Kyle Pott details how he lost 50 pounds in 3 months by following a few simple rules. For example:

Make your diet public Tell people you're on a diet. There's no reason to be ashamed to be on a diet. I found that trying to keep my diet a secret was harder than just telling people. In fact, telling your coworkers, girlfriend, family, etc. will increase your accountability.

I'm a fan of the diet declaration, if only because it matches so well with how I motivated myself to run a marathon. While 50 lbs in 3 months is a little extreme, Kyle's tips aren't. It appears to be a diet based on moderation, compromise, and a bit more exercise - staples of any decent diet.
