My friend tried it and it didnt work, she lost about 6 lbs but then when it was over she gained them back. It doesnt let you lose weight, just water.

I have tried a lot of “fat burners” from my experience (I lost more than 70lbs). I can tell you that most of those products are just marketing hype.\n\nSome of them may be efficient and before you buy anything take a look at Will Brink's Diet Supplements Revealed . They are giving away free extracts from the e-book so you can see inside at exactly what products is being reviewed.\n\nJust go here \nhttp://snipurl.com/nwtc\n\nThey will send you the extract's immediately.\n\nhttp://www.charlesblain.com

Was not successful, for me.\n\n"Mindfulness Meditation worked (still works) for me !!!\nAuthor  Jon Kabat-Zinn PhD."!!!\n\nAnd I ate a good size healthy breakfast daily (still do),  a  moderate lunch and dinner.  Never eat after 5:30 PM.\nAnd always drink a Full 8 oz. glass of Water (not tap water) right before you eat lunch and dinner.  Keeps food consumption at a moderation.\nAnd lastly,  exercise every other day.\n20 to 30 min. of  Cardio.\n\nBe  Very  Patient  with  Yourself.  Be Kind to yourself  and  forgiving toward yourself also.\n\nExcellent Question.\n\nR.N. -  with  Masters  Degree.\n\nP.S. =  Diet pills are Not recommended.  They give most people the feeling that they are on Speed, or other recreational drugs.  And  I  know many people that are presently in  drug \nrehab. clinics because of there addiction to Diet Pills.

I did Jenny Craig and it really worked for me.  I lost about....45 lbs.  I thought the food was really good, and besides, if you find something you don't like, you don't have to buy it again.  It's expensive, but it works.  I was doing aerobics and walking while I was doing Jenny, I worked the system, and it worked me all the way down to a size 8.  Good luck and go for it!

Yes, a group of my friends went a few months back to have it done.  I can honestly say that it was a waist of time and money. For the first week we felt like we werent  as hungry but as time went by there was no change.  Its all in your head, knowing the staple was in made us want to lose the weight. No we didnt lose any weight.  So, if I were you I wouldnt waste your money.

I don't know much about the hollywood diet, but when it comes to dieting, I recommend trying to eat better and get active.  Drink lots of water!!  It helps you feel full so you don't eat as much.  Don't eat fast food and convenience foods as much, they are not doing anything to help you lose a few pounds.  There are so many ways to get active.. indoors and out.  My friend and I have started working out on those stability balls (like $15 @ Wal-Mart) and we just have the best time laughing and working-out!

Nutrisystem food sucks!!! And I was always starving to death!\nThe serving size is soooooo tiny! And I know that it is the best way to lose weight. But get real!! One of the cereal packets had 1/2 cup of cereal in it. And nearly every thing has beans in it. One of the dinners I ate the beans were stil crunchy! The deserts I got were mostly soy chips or nasty pretzels.\nJust not my idea of a diet that I could stick to.

LA Weight Loss was a miracle worker for me. It taught me HOW and WHAT to eat. It focuses mainly on portion control and choosing healthy foods. They have different foods and supplements. I’ve never tried a supplement and I created my own alternatives to their foods. They say you need to eat two “LA Lites” every day. They are expensive and I can’t stand the taste of any of them. I did a little nutrition label research and found an alternative. Obviously they want you to buy their products because that’s how they make money. They get your money at the beginning by making you sign up for weight loss weeks (1 week for every two pounds you want to loose), stabilization weeks (6), and maintenance weeks (52 weeks). They have specials for like $5 a week sometimes. I actually did the diet twice. The first time I wasn’t really mentally prepared to loose weight because I was planning on getting pregnant. After pregnancy, they called me and brought me back in to start the program again (I was on hold). The second time, I knew what to expect. I also told them I wanted to loose less weight because I didn’t want to pay for the extra weeks. So, there are ways to get around giving them your money once you figure them out. In the end, I lost about 2.5 lbs a week by just cutting back on the food I ate. I hate exercise. I did none whatsoever and I lost all my weight. I have started cheating recently, but at least I now know how to loose the weight again. \n\nThe part that helped me stay on track was that I had to write down everything I ate. Once a week I went into the office to be weighed and counseled. Whenever I was tempted to cheat, I just thought to myself, “Do I really want to explain this to the councelor.” Obviously, it’s up to YOU to be honest with yourself. Once you stop writing down everything you eat, it’s easier to cheat and not be aware of it. You don’t NEED the program to loose weight, but it’s very helpful.\n\nHope this helped. Sorry it’s so long. I could say a million more things about it. (By the way, it's really tough in the beginning but you get used to it.)

I have never heard of the after 6 diet. But, can tell you  what worked for me. My Dr. recommended the Medifast Diet. It teaches you to eat 5-6 small meals a day every 2-3 hours. You lose weight quickly and healthy with very little execise. I lost 26 lbs. so far. If you want more information just e-mail at lovejae247@yahoo.com

If it worked we'd all use it. If 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 women & 1500 men \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 \nAll food choices need to be low fat\nDon't make food a big deal and don't socialise using food\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 - multigrain sandwich w 50g tuna/lean meat & 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-150g 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 women & 1800 men 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.

It is posible but requires a little thought. As I dont know what your life style is I'll tell you how, then adapt it yourself.\nNo Alcohol at all.\nWalk at least 45 minutes every day at a good pace(dont kill yourself).\nCut your food intake down to 3 small meals per day with as little fat as possible.Plenty of breakfast, a medium size lunch and a small meal about6 o clock.\nNow, you are going to be hungry in between meals, Dont panic, eat pineapple,banana and other  fruit in between meals.Nuts are great too. (NOT PEANUTS).\nGet some light weights (5-20 lbs) and do 45 minutes every second day with a variation of repetitions.\nYou can do this. Just dont make it so hard that your body says NO THANKS. Good luck.I wish I could come and help you.Make sure that you eat, you need energy to do the work. Diets do not work.Remember , the fat wil disapear from all over the body not from one place. Remember also that the muscle you gain weighs more than the fat.If you dont see a weight reduction straight away dont panic it's muscle you are gaining.In two weeks you feel great. in four weeks you feel and look great.Then RETAIN that look.\n\nhttp://thebaldchemist.blogspot.com

i don't think it works for everyone but it worked for me!  there are tons of people out there, that's why there are tons of diets out there.  i would suggest trying it for two weeks.  i guarantee you will lose weight!  but will you be able to handle it?  it is somewhat strict in the beginning but as you follow the stages you will get to eat carbs again, i promise!  i lost 87 pounds in about 6 months on atkins and i am maintaining a great body!  i eat about 100 grams of carbs a day and i don't even have to really count any more.  i am used to this diet.  i have been on it for about 2 1/2 years.  i don't miss eating tons of pasta and whatnot because i do eat it.  just not overeating carbs!  there is more info on atkins.com.

My husband and I tried it last year. He lost 20 lbs. I lost 23. Then he retired, we moved and had to eat out a lot. We got off it, but now we are going back on it. It's a very healthy diet that was recommended to me by my cardiologist. We had so much more energy when we were on it. The first two weeks are a little difficult but after that you have lost your craving for sweets and high carb foods. You are allowed to have carbs after the first two weeks, but you stick to carbs that are healthy (like brown rice instead of white). It's really a smart diet and works very well. You will reach plateaus, but then you just increase your exercise and you start losing again.\n\nThis is not a "fad" diet, but rather a change in lifestyle. You could eat like this for the rest of your life and be healthier. Like I said, my cardiologist recommended it for me and I have congestive heart failure. He would not tell me to try a diet that wasn't healthy.

I had it a while back, you do lose like 20 inches, but bear in mind these inches add up to like 1/4 of inch here and 1/3 of an inch there, they mark about 20 parts of your body.  Must admit, I did feel cleansed and lighter after it and if you detox for about 3 days after you do lose more.\nIt works for a quick fix or as a kick start of a diet.\nPointless if you do wot my mate did........went into the chippie next door to the salon after having one!!!!!!!!!!!!

i've tried so many things to lose weight and Nutrisystem was wonderful!!!! i lost 12 pounds which was awesome and i myself noticed the difference! \nthe first time i tried it i kind of cheated by eating foods that weren't sent to me and i did lose weight, but i would've lost more if i wouldnt' have cheated a bit.\n but the second time i ordered it, i was more commited and followed it and lost more weight. \nthe first 3 days i had lost 4 pounds, mainly i think because i lost a lot of water, but after that it was like 2 pounds a week. \nthe amount nutrisystem cost is WORTH it!!!! i hope to order it again, when i have more $$$. dont' give up!!!! i could never imagine myself being thin because i always a chubby. i thought it was IMPOSSIBLE for me to get slim, but it is POSSible if you stay postive and stayed commited. i did. \ni'm trying to maintain my weight now on my OWN without nutrisystem and so far it's gone pretty good. i'm still trying to shed my last 10 pounds and it's a killer! but i know i will get there.\nfor now, to motivate myself to lost those last 10 i made signs with my goal weight on them all over my room, so i know what i'm working for. and i also try to imagine my family's reactions when they see me slimmer in december(i only see them during Christmas, we live in different countries). i can't wait to hear them say to me" you look so good!!!!" ," how'd you do it?" \ndon't get discouraged!!! good luck!!!
