I lost 45# pretty much the 'right way' and I have kept it off four years. It took me six months. My eating wasn't 100% 'clean' at first, but I stuck to no less than 1500 calories with a cheat day on Saturdays, body for life style. Started doing weights about month #2, same with HIIT-like cardio. I love food too much to starve and I wasn't in a hurry.
I did the crash diet thing when I was a teen (25 years ago) - who didn't? :P
