Go on the Atkins or South Beach diet and increase your exercise.

Zone is the healthiest. Atkins and other such diets are really bad for you. I was able to get into peak condition in about 3 months of being on the Zone with regular exercise.

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.

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.

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?

Well I do know the Atkin's diet works but the thing is that you have to not only have want to do it but have to make time to do it. I understand you working long hours but all work is not good for anyone. You need to take time for yourself so you can plan your diet and once you do that you'll be able to follow it.

There are many plans that work, the key is really what will work for yur personality and discipline type. I used (and still use)Weight Watchers and was very successful. I lost 123 pounds and now I run marathons, teach dance and even tried out for womens professional football, I used to be 256 pounds and would get tired walking ! Weight Watchers is great because it is so felxible, the weekly meeting really help with support and education about nutrition and excercise topics. Go to Weightwatchers.com and check it out!

Yeah, lots of people have used the South Beach Diet.  It's a very popular plan.  I'm not one of them, though.  I love carbs! :-)

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.

I tried it, but it really did not do anything. Like most "miracle" diet aids, this one also falls short. Diet and exercise is the way to go, believe me I have tried every pill out there (prescription also). I have been living on fruits, veggies, and Atkins bars for breakfast and lunch, and then have whatever I want for dinner. I have lost 27 pounds so far! Remember to drink plenty of water, it really does speed up your metabolism, and it is good for the skin!

Yes! it did worked! I swear it did! I've heard about this diet on TV from long time ago and I always was exceptic, but finally I decided to give it a chance, since I had already tried another diets and pills. First of all, I am not sure if I did the diet at the exact time, cause the web page that I checked was in spanish, says that you have to start the diet an hour before the moon change its phase, it is hard to know if I am calculating the exact time for the moon phases in US, I assume that it is the same thing than calculating the time, depending on which area of US you live. If you are more interested go to the following link:   http://www.cometamagico.com.ar/menu3.htm\nand it will show you a map, and you will be able to figure out what time you can start the diet.  You can also check the moon phase calendar on this page: http://www.cometamagico.com.ar/menu3.htm\n\nSecond, I did not weight myself before starting the diet, but it doesn't  matter, I know I lost weight because I can see it and feel it on my clothes. I've done this twice and I've had great incredible results, I swear, I am not paranoid, the first time I did it I saw it on my belly, it got "flat", I thought it was my imagination, so I tried on a couple of clothes and they fit really good, I bought this strech shirt at old navy, I got the wrong size, I never used it because it was too tight for my stomach, my belly used to hang from the sides horribly!...I just had this shirt because I could not return it. I would NEVER dare to use it, but for some reason I thought it might fit after the diet, and it did, that was like the final proof!..\n\nI drank only liquids for 24 hours, it was hard in the morning, cause I am used to take my yoghurt e-ve-ry-day\nI drank a regular bottle of water every two hours, at lunch time (1:00 my stomach felt kinda hungry, so I drank a bottle of orange juice, I had to squeeze the oranges like the diets suggests, after that my stomach felt satisfied, I also drank "pinneaple water" (blend pinneaple chunks and water) and it was okay cause it is kinda sweet. I don't drink coffee and I don't like tea, and vegetable water sounds too nasty, so I rather drink water or pinneaple water or orange or grapefuit juice. I drank my last bottle for the day at 8:00, I didn't wanted to keep going to the restroom all night long. And then, I continued the diet next day and I finished my 24 hours. I drank 8 regular bottles for 24 hours. I did some research online and suggests to drink 3-4 lts. of water every 2 hours, a regular bottle has 1/2 lt., 8 bottles= 4 lts. After doing the diet my stomach felt CLEAN, I started to eat junk again and it messed up my stomach, my stomach felt bad right after I ate a burger, it was like my stomach rejected the burger. the burger was digested quickly, and I even saw changes when I used the restroom, poop will be more "hard" and not loose, that's when I realized that the diet really works for desintoxication.\nSo, this diet "forzed" me not to eat junk, otherwise it was going to make my stomach feel bad. I couldn't wait to the next full moon!...I noticed results on my hips, butt and legs the second time I did the diet, it has been almost a month since I did it and I have not gained the fat I lost, I still keep looking at my pants and I cannot believe it, my husband complains that I've lost weight. I know this diet works, I am not sick, I don't smoke, I have not been going to the gym, most of the time I am sitting at work, I do not take any medication, I am not under stress, I'm very healthy 26 year old woman, I am not vegetarian, there is nothing else that could make this big change. It is really amazing how it can happened so fast.\n\n\nI do the moon diet twice a month, I don't want to exceed. Some websites recommend to follow a mantenaince diet after moon diet, I don't do it. wow, I cannot imagine how it would be if I do the moon

People can call it what they want, but Atkins will work.  But you have to follow it exactly.  If you don't want to do Atkins, try South Beach.  Keep up with the exercise!

I've been on it.., and it does..., but not because of the grapefruit which I found out later. It was because of the protein.\n\nThere was this study done in the southeast somewhere and in northern Europe wondering how and why the atkin's diet works. To make a long story short, they compared 4 diets.., slim fast, atkins, counting calories and jenny Craig (or something like that). The people on the atkins could eat what ever they wanted except certain carbs while everyone else limited their food intake. They had everyone takes notes on what they ate. Even thou the atkins people could eat what ever they wanted, they consumed the least calories. What they found out is when someone eats a high amount of protein, that the brain releases a chemical which makes them stop eating. \n\nSame with the grapefruit diet..., it is very high in protein.  what I've done it make sure I include a healthy portions of protein along with food from all the food groups when I eat.

I recommend the South Beach Diet. It was designed by a cardiologist, and is good at teaching you about good carbs/bad carbs and good fats/bad fats. It's very effective (you lose 10-12 pounds the first two weeks), but it's not unhealthy like the Atkins diet. \n\nI use South Beach regulary, and have lost weight and kept it off. I also eat much more healthily now.

I'm a man but I do know something about the Curves program (I'm a part-time fitness instructor and I have had my own success with weight management starting from a bad place).\n\nCurves works - but you also have to watch your diet.  That doesn't mean you can't enjoy cake or ice cream, just that you have to be very deliberate in how you balance your intake.  Personally, I like South Beach - I was using such a diet before it was ever packaged and marketed as "South Beach".  It's just an unassailably sensible diet plan (IMHO - ask your doctor before you listen to me).
