Well .. My Doctor said that I was mostly on the Adkins diet\nbut I did not realize this! I was just going with what my body wanted and this was mostly salads! I lost 90 pounds. This took over a year and sometimes I went a month without losing anything, but I felt great and that is what all that matter to me.\nI don't know any web-sites. Just keep in touch with your\nDoctor! They can make sure you are staying healthy while\nyou make a big change in your diet.

Doug:  The key to weight loss is simply this:  A pound of fat is 3,500 calories.  You need approximately 2,000-2,500 calories/ day to maintain your weight.  If you run four miles a day, you are burning about 500 calories.  So, in order to lose weight, you must reduce your caloric intake to about 1,000/day.  You will then burn 2000 calories/day (so long as you do your 4 miles)..and the weight will burn off of you rather quickly.  Do not starve yourself.  After 72 hours of starvation, your metabolism will stop dead in its tracks..your body will think that you are starving and you won't burn anything.  Drink alot of water.  Beleive it or not, alot of your stomach size could be due to water retention.  Up your water intake to at least a gallon per day and your body will not store any water.  Since muscle is 70% water and fat is 20% water, you will know that you are burning fat rather than lean muscle if you are properly hydrated.  Good luck!

Look at Michael Thurmond's Six Week Body Makeover.  It sounds too good to be true, I know.  My wife and I each lost over ten pounds our first week, and a friend of mine just lost 14 1/2 her first week. Best meal/exercise plan I've ever seen or used.

I was on it about  years ago and lost 50 lbs. I am back on it again and have lost 20 lbs so far. It's a good diet as long as you stick with it and follow all the rules. But realize too, that it is a lifestyle change

I just told another person what I did... I lost 35 pounds in around 3-4 months.  It's soooo important to do the water... I tried to drink about 60 oz a day.  And honestly, I don't care if it's diet soda or not... I think it makes you bloated.  When I stopped drinking sodas I lost 5 pounds in a single week!!!  If you don't feel like cooking, try a lean cuisine/healthy choice or weight watchers dinner, just don't do it every day.  They are good to help you learn portion control though.   Some good in-between meal snacks ... apple with about 1 tbspoon of peanut butter... here you go:\n\nBrkfast:  3 egg whites (or EggBeaters) with veggies of lowfat cheese OR 1.5 cups oatmeal with 2 tbspoons of raisins or other dried fruit OR  one LF english muffin with apple butter (just a smear) or peanut butter :)\n\nLunch:  Baked chicken breast, salad \n\nDinner:  Baked chicken or fish, salad , side veggie\n\nNo carbs after lunch --- AT ALL\n\nExercise 3 or more times a week for at least 40 minutes ( walking, biking, eliptical, whatever works for you!!).\n\nGood luck --- you can do it!!!

Yes.. I did.. I didn't get a lot of gas.. but any more gas is too much..\n\nYes it worked.. I lost 12 lbs the first week.. the other 4 the next.. quit diet... metobolism was sped up too much.. and I lost lots of muscle, felt weak, lost an additional 5 lbs in another week.. after being off diet.. ended up a grand total of 10 lbs underweight before the lbs quit sluffing off, and very sick, took forever to regain strength and muscle and an equalized metabolism again.. every one thought I had anorexia.. and told me to eat.. I was eating by the truck loads, and I couldn't gain it back fast enough.. but yes the weight stayed off for about 1 year and a half.. then I started staying at my weight i should have been at.. plus about 4 lbs to make me feel healthier

Cut all processed food and watch the weight fly off! In other words, shop only on the outer rim of the Supermarket :). Eat veggies, fruit, unprocessed meat, low fat dairy. Stay AWAY from white sugar, white flour, corn syrup. If you can't hunt it or gather it, don't eat it! I lost 30 lbs eating this way. You would be amazed how much better you feel once you cut out sugar and white flour! You will have much more energy. Substitute your sugar intake with Stevia (300X sweeter than sugar) and no calories or carbs! It is natural and does not raise the glycemic index. Good LUCK!!

I tried a semi-vegetarian diet and used a tsp. of oil for one serving of fat, and consumed mostly complex carbohydrates, in addition whole grains I ate four servings of fruit a day. I lost ten lbs and two dress sizes. I also walked around my neighborhood for exercise. It took me six weeks. But I was on a low calorie diet.

I tried 100%  Hoodia and......\nHoodia has worked for me...and with no side effects. \nCheck with your doctor before starting any weight loss program.\n\nFor all you doubters, here is the prior feedback for another Answers user who followed my advice:\n\nAsker's Rating: *****\nvery good comment i lost 2 lbs in a week\ni think i can almost get in my leather dress, i can hit the town in no time \n\n\n**** VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO GET RIPPED OFF --- \n\n#1. Be sure you are buying pure Hoodia...look for the import certificate on the website. No matter the price, if they do not display this, you really do NOT know what you are getting!\n\n#2. Be sure it is 100% Hoodia & not mixed w/other herbs, etc.!!\n\n#3. Keep in mind it stops your hunger pangs…you MUST remember to break your habit to always eat at certain times.\n\n#4. Drink a full 8oz. glass of water with it!\n\nHoodia (HOOD-ee-uh) gordonii - A genus of 10 to 20 species from southwestern Africa. \nHoodia gordonii is the stoneage wonder plant found throughout the dry arid regions of the South western African continent now on the verge of making history in the fight against obesity. It is a genus belonging to the Asclepiadaceae family which consists of approximately 20 species. Used to stop hunger, quench thirst, and provide energy among other things since prehistoric times, Hoodia gordonii was first discovered by the San tribesmen and women to get through the most difficult of times. \n\nYou can read a good article about how it works at:\n\nhttp://www.hoodia-diets.info/hoodia-diet-capsules.htm\nhttp://www.hoodia-diets.info/hoodia-gordonii-diet-use.htm\nhttp://www.hoodia-diets.info\nhttp://hoodia-research.blogspot.com\nhttp://www.medical-research-study-directory.info/san-diego-medical-research-study.htm\nhttp://www.san-diego-plastic-surgery-cosmetic-surgery-doctors.us\nhttp://www.las-vegas-nevada-lawyer-attorney-legal-injury-defense-directory.com\nhttp://www.web-site-award-winning.com/adsense-video-course.htm\nhttp://www.bail-bond-jail-directory.info\nhttp://www.lasik-surgery-san-diego.info/

I lost 35 pounds when I finally got the correct replacement dosage, but I have about 35 more to go and it's not budging even with gym and careful eating.  It's a drag, but at least I lost 35...

That is totally unreasonable.  I have lost well in the last few months...65lbs but its taken 5 months.  And that was hard work!!!\nAim for 2 - 3 lbs week but cuting down on portion size, fats and sugars and by exercising...;

I did the Atkins diet for 5 weeks and shed about 5 kg. However, if you don't drink enough water then it can get dangerous.. Also, I felt quite hungry on it during the work day. I ate lots of cheese at night which was a bit naughty, but i still lost the weight. It was the fastest weight loss I've experienced. \n\nSince then i've kept it off by exercising. :)
