I am 2 inches shorter than you and have had previous weight problems and I still have to watch what I eat. I did do the Atkins and lost a ton of weight at one point but soon as I added carbs back into my diet the weight went back up. I would suggest a low fat, low calorie diet w/ exercise it's the onlt healthy way to do it and the weight will stay off if you stick to watching what you do eat.

South Beach Diet! I started it 4 weeks ago. They say in the first 2 weeks you loose 8-13 lbs. I lost 5 or 6 in the first week. In two weeks I lost 9. Now I am losing 1 to 2 lbs per week and inches too. Its not a low carb diet like atkins. I am a huge carb and sweets lover but I have no cravings for those bad carbs now. I love this diet and can do it easy for the rest of my life. Theres lots of things you can do, such as pills and when you stop you regain the weight. With south beach you keep the weight off.\n\nPhase 1 is basically a low carb diet. After that you slowly add in good carbs. Here is the food list for phase 1:\nhttp://southbeachdietguide.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4460\nit may look like you can't do it, but it really is painless by the 2nd or 3rd day. This is not just another fad diet. This is a very healthy diet. Doctors recommend it for a healthy heart. \n\nAfter phase 1 you also add in fruit slowly. Its also okay to be bad once in a while like thanksgiving for example. You can feast with everyone else! Then get back on track. If you gain weight just go back to phase 1 for a week or two.\n\nYou don't need to buy the book. Just research th diet online. There are many resources and receipies. Good luck with whatever you do.

drop sugar, salt, caffiene, and sat fat intake. and yes. walk around. you may think running around will burn fast easy. actually no. walking. low cardio fat burn is what it's called. don't follow atkins diet either. the body needs carbs just to move. take your body wieght. divide by two. whatever # u get you need to be eating that many calories a day just to survive. and thats not counting moving around.\n\ngood luck.\n\nsry, its alot of info. but i'm a nurse in training.\n\ngot a lot of bio classes under my belt.

I wouldn't be concerned yet unless you feel bad/weak.\nThe Atkins Diet definitely works.\nBut it's good that you know it's bad for you. When you don't eat Carbs (your body's first used energy source) your body tells itself that you are starving, so it switches to burning protein and fats (including your body's fat stores which is why the diet works so well.) Your body does need carbs again eventually though. If you do the Atkins Diet more than once in your life or for more than about 12 weeks, you can cause slight but permanent brain damage.\n\nAnd you can definitely survive on one meal a day, but it slows your metabolism (another form of your bod's starvation compensation) so you aren't burning as many of the calories you are eating. This is ok for now but it may be difficult to speed your metabolism back up later, which is a big reason people bounce back to their old weight after dieting.

Berries like strawberries, blueberries etc are the best. Another good one is avocado, which is really nice. Check out the Atkins website to have a look at their carb counter table.

Doing the Atkins diet "reversed" my diabetes.  Medically proven.  However, doctors will still bash it. Read the book and try it for two weeks and become a new you.

I am on the diet right now and have lost 8 pounds in two weeks.  It is a fun diet and you still have plenty of energy and you really are never hungry. I have given you the link to their site which has all sorts of recipes and counters for the various foods so you can keep track of what you eat.  You mainly stick to protein and limit your carbohydrate intake to only 20 carbs per day for the first two weeks and then you can add more carbs in slowly. There are plenty of good recipes to choose from.

GO ON THE ATKINS DIET.  EAT ALL THE VEGETABLES, AND MEAT YOU WANT.  YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO EXERCISE.

Trim down to 1200-1400 calories a day and do 45 minutes of aerobic exercise a day.  It is dangerous to lose more than 2 pounds a week.  It is dangerous to eat fewer than 1200 calories a day.  Low carb diets were shown to be dangerous YEARS ago (they were a fad in the 1960s).  Carbs are the most important part of your diet and health.  If you are under 21, diets can be dangerous because your brain is still growing--see a doctor or nutritionist for advice..  If you are over 40 or have health problems, you should see a doctor before starting a weight loss plan.

Biscuits are all carbs.  You need to cut down on carbs if you want to lose weight.

The Atkins and South Beach diets advocate keeping under 20 grams net carbs/day, but only during the Induction Phase (which is the first 2 weeks).  This is just to shift your metabolism into fat-burning mode (so the theory goes).  \n\nAfter that, you are supposed to increase your carb intake so that you don't lose weight too fast.  But you still aren't allowed to go carb-wild.

there are so many varients that its impossible to predict without knowing your caloric intake, weight, amount of exercise and so on.  Atkins really isnt a good diet though because you exclude a whole food group.  Just eat a low fat diet but keep the carbs.  The weight lost from atkins diet is usually a lot of water weight and that is easily put back on.  I guess if you must lose weight for 5 weeks its not gonna hurt you.  But everything in moderation and plenty of exercise would probably work better for the long run.

20 grams or less.  And forget about milk ... too much sugar there.  One thing though with a low carb diet is that you can subtract grams of fiber from the total grams of carbs since the body can't metabolize the fiber very well and has to utilize energy in order to do so.  So fiberous veggies like broccoli or cauliflower are great on low carb diets.
