Here is a helpful overiew of the popular Abs Diet from the folks over at freedieting.com:\n\nThe Abs Diet is a book written by David Zinczenko - the editor for fitness magazine "Men's Health". The book is written in a style aimed at men, but the principles can be applied to anyone. \n\nFor many years most athletes, fitness models, and bodybuilders have applied the same basic fundamentals to their diet. Principles like eating often (5-6 times per day), building muscle, eating lean proteins, and aiming to eat whole unrefined carbs.\n\nSadly many dieters have failed to take note of these techniques, often believing that calorie restriction is the only way to lose weight.\n\nNothing New Here\n\nHidden under the gimmicky catch-phrases in the Abs Diet, you will find sensible and workable ideas for fat loss. The principles are not new, but simply repackaged for a different market. In fact the program is quite similar to Body For Life. \n\n"Based on revolutionary new weight loss research... ...turn fat into muscle, sculpt your best physique, enjoy spectacular sex, and have more energy day after day..."\n\nCalling the book The Abs Diet is clever. Having visible abdominal muscles is about attaining low levels of fat (we're talking quite low here - see article on abs) - rather than any magic diet, special exercise, or special piece of equipment. Attaining defined abs is difficult and challenging - but it sells, and many men now consider visible abs to be the pinnacle of a good body. \n\nThe Power Foods \n\nThe Abs diet contains a 7 day meal plan, made up of 12 'power foods', along with recipes. One meal per week is designated as a 'cheat' meal - where you eat anything you want. The book advises avoiding foods like fatty meats, processed/refined carbs, and high-sugar foods. \n\nThe Power 12 Foods  \n1) Almonds and Other Nuts eaten with skins intact. \n2) Beans and Other Legumes\n3) Spinach and Other Green Vegetables\n4) Dairy: Fat-free or low-fat milk, yogurt, cheese, cottage cheese\n5) Instant Oatmeal: Unsweetened, unflavored\n6) Eggs \n7) Turkey and other lean meats. Lean steak, chicken, fish \n8) Peanut Butter - All-natural, sugar-free.\n9) Olive Oil \n10) Whole-Grain Breads and Cereals \n11) Extra-Protein (Whey) Powder \n12) Raspberries and Other Berries\n\nIf you are wondering why almonds, spinach, raspberries, and turkey were singled out -- nothing scientific -- it just helps to make a catchy acronym - absdietpower ! \n \nExercise Component\n\nEssential to the diet is the strength and interval training. This is based on the premise that building muscle increases metabolism which will assist in burning fat. \n\nDo You Get A Flat Tummy?\n\nThis is what the author says in response to spot reducing: \n\n"...you can't spot reduce per se. That's a myth. But if people lose weight - particularly if they're doing some moderate exercise at the same time - they'll lower their body fat and will likely notice that loss in their bellies since that's where most of the fat lives..."\n\nUnfortunately this isn't quite true. Women, in particular, carry most of their fat deposits around the thighs and hips. Also, belly fat can quite often be the last place that fat disappears from. However the book does is aimed at men which may explain the authors comments. \n\nGood Program - Nothing New \n\nThe Abs Diet pretends to be something new. However it is simply a basic guide to strength training, good nutrition, and exercise. It does provide good sensible nutritional advice, but we feel there are better choices out there.\n\nIn our opinion Tom Venuto's Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle is superior to the Abs Diet - telling the full truth - and catering for all types of people. Also in a similar vein is the Body For Life program. \n\nHope this helps!\nNewarview

Try Denise Austin exercise tapes. They're super fun and you start seeing results after 10 days (if you stick to the routine). Denise also has some books out on losing weight and keeping it off. There are some great recipes and eating tips in there. Anyway, give the tapes a try, cause they're a lot cheaper than going to a gym, and you can do them at home. I swear by them!

Listen I have had two kids and both girls with horrible hormonal pregnancies. I couldn't lose any weight with my first but was sooo determined with the second and I now weigh less than what I did when I feel pregnant with the second. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me happy to help in any way am now studying personal training. \n\nIf you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

"Reviewer: David Lee (Beijing, China) - See all my reviews\n     \nHesitated getting this book at first as I've already seen countless books on the ABS issue. Decided in the end to get because of it's compact size and easy to follow simple steps. Results were obvious after 2 weeks and now I carry it along when I'm travelling though I already knew the steps and sequence by heart. One of the extremely few impulsive buys I didn't regret."\n\n"Reviewer: Dom (Kingston Upon Thames, Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews \nThis books is simply great. I've been using it for about 8 weeks and the six pack is definately there. The book has three workouts, each of about 8 exercises, and each taking about 15-20 mins. For it to work I guess you have to exercise 3 or 4 times a week (as I have). The book does have some hard and unusual exercises in it, such as the ball-pike and bench reverse crunch. Many of the exercises may seem familiar and similar to each other, but the book succeeds in three key areas: Firstly it helps you focus your workout on your abs (rather than just doing a few crunches before you leave the gym.) Secondly, the pictures and explanations help you get your technique right, and technique is everything! Thirdly each workout is designed as a set of exercises that complement each other and when performed together in a workout have a greater effect than when performed in isolation.\nIn summary this is a great book, and because it's small you can take it in to the gym and keep it by your side while you exercise. Also, it is suitable for just about anyone - if you're an absolute beginner, or a hardened athlete, or somewhere in the middle like me, you can find your own level and work on from there."\n\n"Reviewer: A reader\nI've seen and read many books and magazines that offer so many different ways/gimmicks to trim up and build your abdominal area. This compact book gives you 3 great ab workouts to train within a week, gives helpful tips on diet and cardio, and makes the training sessions simple but effective. The exercises are innovative, focused, and work very well. If you're looking for a great guide for the money, this book has it all. I was able to see positive results within 2 weeks."

Last year I wanted to get fit and ironically it was the most difficult year I have had for keeping weight off.  This year I finished grad school, moved, and attended a couple funerals and weddings and it was a challenge to keep on top of fitness.  This year I would definately like to slim down but also make some new friends where I live and make an effort to keep in touch with a few of my old ones.  Good luck with yours!  Happy Holidays!

You might think about trying this book called "The Movie Star Diet" by Steve Simmons. It helped me lose thirty pounds in 2 1/2 months when I didn't think anything would work. My goal to begin with was only 20 lbs! It has a really easy plan to follow and an excellent workout as well.

I joined it but i found the diets were not always what i felt like eating. So far i have tried the Joanna Hall diet where i lost 8lbs and then i started Weight Watchers where i lost another 6lbs followed by Slim fast where i have lost 10lbs. And out of them all i did like the Joanna Hall. I don't think you need to pay for a subscription to lose weight.

I attend Weight Watchers, and I can tell you that if you buy the books, it pretty much explains everything in detail.  Also, your weekly motivation booklets explain things even more clearly, as to what your goals should be each week.  The meetings are more for support, your leaders just tells you what she/he does to keep going, and to tell you the truth that helps a lot, so you might want to ask if they have anyone that can sign for you, or you can take a buddy that knows how to sign, with you.  I would recommend that you do that, because you can really benefit from other peoples experiences.  Good Luck!

I am on this diet and have lost 70 lbs in 7 months.  It's the easiest I have ever been on and I have tried them all.  There are a few food in each type that your body just does not fancy to.  I am B so I can't help you but go to yahoo search and type in dieting according to your blood type and it will give you a lot of sites to go check out.  My husband just started this 2 months ago and had lost 26 lbs. He however is O.  I would highly recommend it.  i was on a lot of meds heart, high blood pressure plus more and off of all but 1.  I go to Healthy Habits in Meridian Idaho.  I have not gained anything back and you don't have to buy special foods!  Check it out from someone that's been on every diet out there!  Only to gain back plus more.  This has worked well for me.  Check it out it can't hurt.  The big thing is you have to be willing and ready to work at it.  I did not do special exercising but am going to start now that I'm almost at my goal from a size 18-20 to a size 7/8

If you are talking SHORT TERM, this two-week-long weight loss program will work. It has worked for me, for Renee Zellweger (after her Bridgett Jones movies) and for many others who need fast weight loss. Follow these steps religiously:\n\n1.Drink lots of fresh water every day using this formula: (your current weight) divided by 2 = ounces of water to consume each day. I like to drink room temperature water from a bottle because it’s easier to “chug.” I put four of the bottles on the kitchen counter and make sure they are all empty by the end of the day. Best to consume them throughout the day.\n\n2.Don’t drink any alcohol of caffeine. No soft drinks. Only green teas. REMEMBER, THIS IS ONLY 14 DAYS. YOU CAN DO IT IF YOU REALLY WANT YOUR GOAL.\n\n3.Fast walk or run for at least 60 minutes each day. It’s best to exercise in the morning since it will rev up your metabolism and keep our calorie-burn rate high throughout the day. You can do this by walking in place, using a treadmill, or walking outside. Whatever works for you.\n\n4.Do at least 50 crunches each day. I break mine into 2 or 3 different sessions. Also, if I need to do 20 crunches, I play a little trick with my mind and I “pretend” I am going to count to 25. It’s amazing how this helps the body get to all of the crunches with the same intensity.\n\n5.Eat only fresh vegetables! This is the key to the whole thing. Eat as many as you want, but DON’T eat any of the following: starchy vegetables including potatoes, squashes, pumpkins, and the like. They will work against you. Limit carrots, snow peas, and other veggies that are high in sugar content. NO GRAINS. Just fresh vegetables. You can eat salads, stir-fries, steamed, etc. But this is at the heart of your success.\n\n6.Don’t eat anything after 7:00 p.m.\n\n7.Put photographs (from magazines) up all over your house of trim, fit women. They will serve as motivators.\n\n8.Several times each day – especially when you first get up and when you go to bed, say something like: “I am enjoying my weight of (your goal weight).” Put it in the present tense and say it many times – with feeling! This will affect your subconscious mind to help you achieve your goal. Also, post these words in the same places where you post the photographs.\n\nAlso, don’t be surprised if you start feeling better than you have felt in a long time. You will have more energy, most aches and pains will be gone, and your whole body will look brighter. One warning, early on your elimination will be a little “urgent.” You may have some cramping. But this will all go away soon. Your body is in a deep cleanse.
