In the past I did crossfit. I enjoyed the short time commitment: 30 minutes, 3 times a weak & it allowed me to become very fit. However, I hurt my hip & have never wanted to go back to that level of extreme exercise for fear of further severe injury. I'm not a paid athlete & don't really need to be that fit.
In the past I've tried 2 types of dieting that made sense to me and each worked very well: Zone & Atkins. The catch is that Atkins is hard to sustain with little variety and a lot of temptation; while the Zone is enjoyable & not hard to stick with but you must be active much more so than when on Atkins.
For the last 2 years I've been very fit, with no more exercise than random walks and general stretching every few days. I got married and my wife, and now I, eat a salad before almost every meal. It's had an astounding affect on me. I still eat the yummy, high calorie high carb goodies, but much less than before. Btw, my wife makes amazing salads, nothing too exotic but nothing too boring.
From a Texan who eats his fair share of BBQ, salads can be very enjoyable.
