Don't THINK diet, just increase your level of activity and try to eat a little less than you normaly do. Adding fiber-rich foods and lots of water will help keep you satisfied and the extra activity will keep your body burning the excess.

If your regular diet is not doing it, try adding protein shakes (such as Ensure) or protein bars to your diet. \nAlso foods rich in carbohydrates, such as rice pudding.

I would suggest going to Weight Watchers for support. They are probably the best diet and ways to get advice.

firstly, you need to be serious about it or ull just end up without any results and you'll get frustrated. start off by cutting out ALL sugars in your diet. that includes even fruit becuase even though they're "good" for you, they contain a lot of fructose. next, you wanna cut out all the obvious fattening foods like fast food, junk food, and basic stuff that your instincts tell u u shouldnt eat. then, you wanna start switching to complex carbs as opposed to simple processed sugars. for instance, wheat bread instead of rice. in addition, drink a lot of water that will keep you full and help the fat loss process along its way. add a weight training or cardio program and you are definately on your way. good luck.

The previous answer said the best diet would be to not spend money on stuff that wont work. What are you doing to lose weight. Everyone out their has diffrent challenges. Most people need some kind of support to lose weight. How much money are you spending on your meals every day. I mean meals snack pop etc. It adds up. I can show you a way to lose weight and still eat the foods you love and get healthier. It will cost you less to lose weight then it cost you to gain it. I saved money on my grocery bill.\n\nView my website for more info.

I have been on Medifast; Optifast and other like it.  Don't waste your time.  I have been on Atkins, weight watchers, South Beach and taken diet pills.  He is what finally worked for me.  I cut out deserts, bread and pasta.  I eat a lot of salads, chicken, fish and fresh fruits and vegetables.  But, I drink a whole load of water.  To make it tastier, I squeeze fruit into the water.  I found this helps me loose weight and still feel full.  I also do some exercise.  In my opinion, these diets are all full of crap.

Diet pills do not work and none of them are good for you...Healthy diet and exercise is the only way to lose

Everything works as long as you stick to it.  Diets are just a temporary fix.... if you really want to keep the weight off you have to change the way you eat and exercise for good!!!!  I heard Lindora has a really good food plan (never tried it myself)... and for exercise....Curves is a great gym, and its WOMEN ONLY!!! so it's alot more comfortable to go to (I'm a member and I've lost 15lbs).... or if you want to work out at home you can try Turbo Jam. I just started it last week and I feel great...its alot of fun!  Well I hope I've helped some.... good luck!

It's simple - take in less calories than you burn. Diets don't work.

wowsers, thats pretty big, i'd go on a diet, a permanent one, only eat veges and fruit, nothing else, maybe a shnitzel of ham now and agian but thats all. And try getting up off your fat ass now and again and do some exercise, that always helps. :)

Stick to the diet until you get down to your or your Drs. desired weight. Start an exercise program that is light and moderate while dieting but increase it gradually - walking is idea, no physical stress on the body if done moderately. When you get down to your desired weight and you have a steady exercise program such a regular walking you can afford to eat some pizza, chocolate or ice cream (but only one at a time!). The low-carb worked for me and I lost 15% of body weight and have been able to maintain virutally all of that by walking.

My older brother clued me into something a long time ago about diet....and thus far,  it's always worked for me.  Just check for three things on the nutrition label of your foods....check the fat, protien,  and carb content..if your protien and carbs are each more grams than your fat grams,  you're good to go.  Now,  we're all different,  and some diets work for some and not for others,  but I can tell you this....I have been many body types over the last 15 or so years,  and no matter what my build had been at any given time,  this one has always worked for me.  Good luck,  hope you get where you want!!

This one works for me. Cut out the dairy, don't use oil or fat when cooking, make sure you eat a big variety of things, eat only small amounts of oil rich foods (nuts, seeds, olives etc), eat lots and lots of fruit and veg and whole grains (brown rice, wholemeal pasta and bread) so you don't get hungry, and regularly do some exercise. It is important that you eat a wide variety of different things.

Try taking fruit and vegetables with you (carrots, celery...). Try having a salad for lunch, and much on fruit and vegetables when you are hungry. Limit the amount of bread and sweets that you take, and don't have sweetened soda, only diet versions. Maybe you can take some lighter lunches with you: vegetable dip with fresh vegetables to dip in it, salads, grilled vegetables, grilled meats and fish...\nGood luck.

Moderate, long-term, low-carb dieting works well.  The cases you here about people only losing muscle mass and water are short-term, zero-carb dieters who don't know what they're doing.\n\nI started a moderate, low-carb diet (20 net carbs/meal maximum and 6 meals or snacks/day) and lost 30 pounds in the first year, 10 in the second.  I never went hungry, and I ate as much as I wanted all the time.  It changed my life.  I still keep it up today.\n\nI'm 6'0" and started at 225 and maintained my weight at 185, dipping to a low of 183.  I rarely exercised during that time, as I do not have the time for it.\n\nLow-carb dieting works!  Those who say it doesn't are very naive or have an agenda.\n\nOh, and it is a serious mistake if you look at low-carb dieting as a short-term, problem-solver like low-fat diets.  It MUST be a permanent, life-changing diet.  You must go into it with the idea, "From this point on, I will rarely eat any meal with more than 25 net carbs."  That will not only lose weight for you, it will allow you to maintain the weight loss.\n\nIf you stop the diet, you will gain weight, just like low-fat diets.\n\nOh, and one more thing, a moderate, low-carb diet does allow the occasional high-carb, high-sugar, high-calorie snack.  The best success stories I've seen were eating 1-2 high-carb foods per week, even things like chocolate cake.  But it must be rare.

I went to a homeophatic nutritionist who gave me a balanced diet with lots of fresh fruit, vegetables, lean meat, fish, nuts, etc. and very little carbs. I eat 6 times a day, 3 complete meals and 2 snacks. It takes patience and perseverance. You have to try out many recipies to change routine. It also helped that I went through a desintoxication process of a three day juice and soup fast. I have lost 20 pounds, and have another 20 to go, but feel great and with lots of energy. I paused a while with the diet and have not gained weight, that shows that I changed my habits and my eating lifestyle. Good luck!
