Has anybody gone to a Weight Control Center where they recommend a "6 hour diet"?

Why is everybody so damned LAZY?  You want a great body, you WORK AT IT!  Does your sister know the long term effects of this shot?  I've never heard of such a thing!  Watch Rocky.  Hit some beef.  Work.  Sweat....naturally!  What is this world coming to?

I've tried it.  The $7 weekly (or whatever they advertise) is not all the expense you'll occur.  That's the good part.  The part that will be very expensive is when you buy your food products each week/month from them.  This will certainly run you into the hundreds of dollars.  Also, they do have a plan where you can go out and buy your "own food", but this takes a lot of guesswork and creativity on your part each meal on how much to eat (calorie-wise, fat-wise, carbo-wise, etc.), portion to eat (in conjunction with the above-mentioned "wises"), creativity as far as not having to have the same old meals each day, etc).  The only good thing about buying their foods is that each one is already proportioned as to the amount you will have each meal, so you won't have to count calories, carbs, or anything else; but doing so costs you dearly.  \n\nPlus, having a membership for a year (which most people do that want to lose more than 10 pounds because in the long-run it's cheaper) will cost $100-150 +.  The membership includes all follow-up nutritional visits you may have during this time frame, including weigh-ins, consultations, etc.  \n\nThey do have supplements, but you do have a choice to buy them or not...the place I went to did not "push" the supplements on me....they told me I could buy them (expensive) or I could just wait and see how the initial plan was coming along before deciding to do so.  \n\nSo, you see, that $7 advertisement that have on television is JUST THE BEGINNING.  Get your checkbook out and ready!

go to your pharmacy or local walmart, kmart, etc and go to the diet section. Get an over the counter detox. I am almost through a 7 day program called "detox7" and it really worked for me. Plus it was really cheap it only cost about $10 and you don't have to stop eating or anything.

you are already on your way sweetie, if you want a little help and support definitely try weight watchers, thats what i do, and its awesome if you stick to the program. the best thing about it is you can eat whatever you want it just teaches you portion control :)

well, first I hate to gaining weight like anyone else but consult your doctor first-see if s/he has any ideas or a fitness plan that could help-since it is cause by your condition it is probably not the first time s/he has been approached by someone about but you should without a doubt check for any restriction on diet and exercise in case you come you with your own plan.  \n        I would think using any pills would be out of the question-google some of the leading diet products out there and read the reviews.  Healthy woman have had horrible experiences using these things, so don't risk it. Try the old and true methods-Eat in smaller portions more a day as opposed to 3 heavy meals, do whatever cardo is safe 3x a week & 3 simple tips that I think work more than people give it credit for but it's so cliche they don't try them-\n       1) Eat Breakfast\n       2) drink at least 10 glasses of water per day( no soda!) and \n       3) Have a cut off time at the end of the night that you won't eat afterwards.  I set mine at 8:00 and and lost almost 9Lbs in a month doing nothing else but that. My co-worker who sugessted it to me had a cut off time of 6:30 and she lost almost 6 in less than two weeks.  Take Care.

If you are serious and understand that there is no overnight way to loose the amount you are asking about maybe this will help. At about 5 lbs. a week it will take  about 10 weeks to loose the weight You would be better to set your sights on 2-3 lbs per week. NEVER, EVER eat anything after 5pm. Never eat just before going to bed. Eat only twice a day. Drink water, lots of water, and a glass of warm water before bed. Drinking water helps the body to flush out excess fat wastes and toxic body waste and helps with giving you a full feeling. It also helps with mental mentality. Have a bit of fat in some form early in the day, like REAL butter on a piece of toast, this will make the body feel like it is not being slighted. If you must eat sweets try the sugar-free kind, they cost a bit more but are worth it in the long run, pace yourself with them. Get out of the house every day if only to walk once around the block, don't rush, notice everything around you, think about what you see. Add more blocks as you feel as ease with, change routes. If you are pressed into feeling bad by someone near, start doing a chore, laundry, dishs, vacuuming, taking out the trash (and you can sneak that walk as you drop the trash in the trashcan as you go by), STAY AWAY from the ice box. Binge eating only makes the problem worse and you feel you are less of a person after it is over with. If you get weak when out and hit a fast food place and after ordering you feel you shouldn't be doing that, DON'T !!!!, pay for the food, walk OUTSIDE!, don't sit down, and drop the stuff in the trash can or give it to someone outside or an animal. You will feel odd doing this but then you will feel that you just took control over yourself and it will get you thinking about the other things in your life you should look into taking back control over, and you just proved to yourself that it is not impossible. Try taking yourself out of the circle you focus on all the time and place yourself on the edge and others in the center. When I was losing weight I found that taking Chromium tablets each day curtailed my craving for chocolate. I am a big choc-0-halic. Amino acids also helped for control (all over the counter stuff). Make sure you are not alergic to any of this though. And do not make a big deal of your trying to loose weight to others, keep low key, pretend to be eating so other do not try to keep handing you stuff to stuff in your face. I stopped smoking by not telling anyone and keeping a half pack of ciggs in my shirt pocket so all could see I had it and they did not offer me any. It was worth their bumming them from me to ward off any questions. Nobody near around you will help you if it is not in their best interest to keep you in the position that is more conveient to them. FAKE them out! Depend on yourself, in the end you are the only one who is there for you no matter what is said. O.K. eat more veggies, take them with you, snack on them, unlimited, try all the diffrent veggies at the store, take time out to go to the store just to see what is offered, strange to you or not, try it! And stay out of the other areas of the store. Well, that's what I can tell you for what it is worth. I gained a lot of weight after 3 surgeries and am an older person in my 50's, and now it is so hard to loose, so very hard. Do it now while you can, and like yourself, not what others want you to change into for them, you are not them, you are YOU, and control will come with practice over time.

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. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. \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. You can do a circuit class but this counts as one weights session. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, boxing and spin. If your classes are less than 1 hour top it up with cardio before and after classes. 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.

Weight Watchers has the most effective plan for losing weight.  I would contact them.  Most of the other plans are overpriced and do not have good results.

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.

I have tried it and it is very strict. They send you the food for the whole day including the snacks, BUT it is very little and you CANNOT eat anything else! if you ate whatever they sent you and still hungry - guess what? if you eat anything else you will actually gain weight because the food they send contains exact amount of calories you can consume throughout the day to lose about 1 lb a week (at best). The food isn't that great either. I am very picky, I like to cook and pretty good at it and had to make myself eat the food they provided. Although it smelled good the taste just wasn't there.\nOn the other hand a friend of mine (not so picky with the food... AT ALL!) was on that diet for 5 months and she managed to lose 6 pounds.\nEveryone is different. In any case, good luck to you!
