As always, different methods work for different people.





Eating any food you want, but in small portions:





pro: You're developing the healthy habit of listening to your body and its cravings and stopping when you're full. I believe this is the ideal solution to all weight issues.





cons: You might not be capable of controlling your portions when faced with a favorite food.





Only eating ';diet'; food and larger amounts





pros: You feel more satisfied with the larger volume of food. Your body benefits from the nutrition and will adjust your body to want more healthy food.





cons: You may feel unhappy and deprived because you're restricting yourself from your favorite ';junk'; foods. This is a huge reason for why diets fail.





So my solution would be to do both: Generally eat foods that are healthy and nutritious. If you want an ';unhealthy'; or ';junk'; food, eat a little so you don't keep craving it.
if you're eating small portions of junk, then your body is not getting what it needs.. so I would say that large portions of healthy foods is better than small portions of junk.. if you really want to lose weight, use www.fitday.com and track your calories and try to keep an even balance of protein calories, carb calories, and fat calories..
