As far as I know, My father used to be on Atkins - WOAH did he lose weight fasssssst.  And tons of it as well.  He gained it all back, of course, once he ate a little bit of carbs.

The only "diet" (I hate that word) plan that has worked for me is lots of walking. I try to walk most places and eat mostly fresh foods. Lots of fruits and vegies. Try not to eat fast-food. Even the fast-food salads contain lots of fat and calories. If you get hungry, drink some water and eat something healthy.(fruits and vegies) When I eat out, I try to pick something that is halfway healthy and will taste good. The worst thing about being on a diet is having to act like you're on a diet. That is definately not motivating. Oh, and drinking lots of water helps keep you hydrated and it also flushes all sorts of things out of your body. Most people are not sucussful with any diet unless they're getting lots of water. At least 8 eight fl. oz a day. That's about 2 liters. Good luck!

Not satisfied because you are not getting enough, or not eating what you want.\nTry Atkins or Suzanne Somers if you need quantity.\nTry Weight Watchers if you need to eat whatever you want, just in smaller quantities.  That is what I am doing now, and so far it is working.  Exersize gives you more points, plus they give you 35 extra points during the week so it is a reasonable diet.  The weight comes off slower tho, but the whole point is to lose the weight and keep it off forever so we can go off diets once and for all!!!

I have tried a few things.  From experience, I tell you, going on adkins diet, and staying on 'induction' throughout, was the fastest way I ever lost weight.\n\nYou don't have  to buy the book.  Rules are simple:  No sugar, no sugar substitutes.  No coffee.  No caffeine.  Count all carbohydrates, and keep daily intake below 20 carbohydrates daily.  Drink at least 8 cups of water daily.\n\nThat having been said, atkins diet is said by some to be unhealthy.  Healthy way to lose weight is to go on raw 100% vegan (vegetarian with absolutely no animal products) diet.  On this diet you may have only water, fresh juices from raw vegetables fruit and greens, and raw vegetables, fruit, greens, nuts, and other plants and parts of plants in their raw, natural form.  No refined sugar, no sugar substitutes.  This is very healthy, and good for many ills.  Many have testified that they lost lots of weight in a short time with this diet.

Actually, I do not believe Atkins is a good diet to be on.  I've seen friends who lost a lot of weight on it, but then started developing weird body odors and constipation (among other problems) probably because of the excessive fat and protein they are taking in.  I believe that when you choose a "diet" to go on, be sure it is something that you can live with for the rest of your life.  Why not look into a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet and a lot of exercise?

Dr. Atkins is dead. He was a major proponent of low carb dieting, meaning severely restricting carbohydrates while eating lots of protein. While this method of dieting can bring short term results, it does not lend itself to a reasonable lifestyle for most people. Something like the South Beach Diet is a more balanced approach to reduced carb dieting. \n\nChances are your girlfriend, like most people, will quickly abandon this diet, which has severe limitations.

Southbeach diet.  It's healthier than atkins.  I've done both and they both allow you to lose weight really fast, but southbeach is easier to stay on in the long run.

This works great for me..\nTry do any kind of vigorous exercise 3x a day for 15 minutes. I power walked, went up and down my basement stairs, raked leaves, jump rope, anything to get my heart beating.\nIt takes commitment but it works. It has something to do with keeping your metabolism working. \nAlso I kept away from white sugar products. For me white sugar gave my body an energy burst that doesn’t last and drained me after my sugar high was over. It was very hard for me to get over the sugar withdraw the first 3 days . It took about a week to get my body trained. \nI went from size 14 to size 10 in about 5 months. STAY AWAY from McDonalds, Chips and Crackers.. " these gave me sugar cravings HUGE" I have fallen off the diet wagon and feel low energy but now you have motivated me to get in the swing again. Thanks

I joined weight watchers 2 years ago and lost 35 pounds, and it is still off.\nI don't really believe that what you have heard is true.  It isn't like a diet pill or Atkins where once you are off of it, you gain the weight back.  The great thing about WW is that it teaches you the correct way to eat, and what correct portion sizes are.  To me WW was never a true "diet."  You can eat whatever you want, you just know that you have to make an allowance for that piece of cake, and that maybe you will need to have something less pointy for dinner, in order to balance it out.\nIt's funny, I'm no longer stringently following the plan (writing down everything I eat, and keeping track of points), but I still use a WW mindset.  It's true what they say, it is a lifestyle change, not a diet.\nTo me, it is the best weight loss program out there, and I don't think that you will regret joining.

I've lost 44 pounds in 5 months with weight watchers, I was a chocoholic!  And I still love carbs.  Weight watchers has some ot the best ice cream desserts, I love the cookie and cream bar, it's big and satisfying.  I eat Quaker chewy granola bars  when I have to have a sweet, they make me drink water they're so sweet and only 2 points in weight watcher terms.  I also eat fruit, strawberries dipped in splenda, yummy. If I gotta have chocolate then I eat m&m's, they are chocolatey, I can control the portion I eat half the bag and close it up and give away the other half.\nHope these suggestions help!\nOh by the way, if you like jelly beans, jelly belly has the most wonderful sugar free jelly beans, but be careful, if you eat more than 1/2 of the bag, it has a laxative affect!

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.

YES!  You probably don't want to hear this but weight watchers.  My best friend was morbidly obese and lost 87 lbs.  Now she is at a healthy weight and has kept it off for 3 years.  I gained a lot of weight a couple of years ago and lost 27 lbs and have kept it off.  It isn't difficult-it teaches you how to eat responsibly...and you aren't constantly "dieting".  You can go out to eat and have a beer or whatever, but you have to be good the rest of that day.  It all balances out.  You use a point system (and you can get a points calculator and information online or I'd be glad to help too).  Anyway, I have tried the cabbage soup diet, atkins diet, low fat diet, vegetarian diet, starvation diet...and the weight loss was quick but only a few pounds and it always came back.  If you want a diet that works and keeps the weight off, you need to follow weight watchers.  The normal weight loss is 2 lbs a week, sometimes more, especially in the first week.  It feels so good to be healthy and energetic!  The only downside is that you may want to attend meetings and they are approx $10/wk.  I did it for free strictly by reading online message boards and googling "weight watchers information".  guess it helped that my friend went through it before me.  Some people need the meetings as motivation and to keep on track.  I wish I could show before and after pictures of my friend!  They are awesome!
