Default Re: Any Good Diet tips?

I suggest eating lots of fruits and veggies regardless of the carbs. In my mind, low-carb has some valid points to it, however, so few of us get all the fruits we need that there is no point in cutting those out. Limit excessive breads and I think you'll be fine. 800 calories may feel like enough, but if you eat too few your body goes in to starvation mode aka stop burning fat mode. We don't want that! I've heard suggestions of a minimum caloric intake of at least 1200 calories/day. That should keep your metabolism crankin'! Several small meals through out the day, full of fruits and veggies. That's my two cents. Good luck!
