Depends on the week.

I have an Apple Watch purely as a motivator to get up from my desk and meet move goals. But all that does is help maintain my current health. (Full Disclosure: according to BMI, I'm morbidly obese. Even though BMI is BS, I'm still overweight.)

I'm a firm believer in that one diet does not fit all. Atkins, Keto (in its various forms), Juicing, WeightWatchers et al work for some, but not all. Do what works for you, and if you can't do that, check in with a dietitian. Whatever plan you follow, try and stick to it. Unlike me.

Get a gym membership. Have someone to rely on that will kick you in the butt when you're feeling unmotivated and vice versa. If you can afford it, get a personal trainer.

Now if I can just follow my own damn advice, I'd be in a better situation.
