I guess to sum everything up -- food is tricky, food is highly personal, nutrition counseling and/or weight loss should be individualized. If a restrictive diet is too difficult then it's not worth it. There's a fine balance between calories in/calories out and eating "healthy," and I think other factors such as emotional, mental, and cultural health are just as important as actual weight and/or labs.

EDIT: I'm much more akin to soft sciences than I am hard sciences, that's why it may seem like I'm emphasizing those last three factors.
