I'd recommend adopting something you can stick to for life, otherwise you'll be joining the ranks of yo-yo dieters who periodically muster up the will to make radical, if temporary, changes.

I have to agree with Nancy on all her points, including watching Alton Brown on the cooking channel. That's one of the ways that I learned to cook and I didn't want to cook either....but I saw it as necessary if I didn't want to keep being a typical yo-yo dieter. So, I taught myself how to cook.
I cook foods in a way that I love its flavors. But first I had to figure out what I wanted my food to taste like. I like tangy, sour, savory....not sweet. I had to learn how to make that happen. I like my sweets to be from fruit or sweet treats, not in my food.
Good Luck!
