What's the best way to lose weight?

In response to a poll on the best dieting strategy, users on our sister sit Epicurious.com voted for a diet that focuses on reducing calories rather than low-carb, low-fat, or low-sugar diets.  Of course, reducing calories is the ONLY way to lose weight and reducing carbs, fat, and/or sugar are simply different strategies for reducing calories.  But I think the results of this poll reflect the trend away from radical dieting regimens and toward a saner, all-things-in-moderation approach to food. (You can read the entire story, which includes lots of recipes, product reviews, calorie-cutting tips, and more of my thoughts on the subject here.)

Epicurious.com is primarily focused on food and cooking, while Nutrition Data's primary focus is on nutrition and health. (As our joint feature Healthy Dinner Tonight goes to show, however, eating healthy and eating well are NOT mutually exclusive.)

But I'm curious to know how Nutrition Data readers would respond to the same poll that Epicurious posted for their readers. How do you vote?
