I would do the South Beach Diet, you stick to it and and you can lose 7-15lbs in two weeks. I did.

I am on the SOuth Beach Diet and it does work. I have been on it for a month and I have lost 20 lbs so far. I was also on it about a year and a half ago and lost 50 lbs. but I totally binged and loaded up on carbs when I was at  the weight I wanted and gainded it all back. So, if you do this diet, you have to realize that it is changing the way you eat and you need to stick with it for it to work. It's healthy for you and a smart way to eat!

SOUTH BEACH!! cut out or limit carbs (bread, pasta, potatoes, fruit juice and sugar) and you will start seeing results. the diet has 3 phases and the first one is the most strict, in the second you introduce carbs back into ur diet, and the third phase is just the rest of your life. after you see the changes in your body, you wont want to eat the foods that make you gain weight... and it doesnt cost much, just the price of the book.. i really recommend it, GOOD LUCK!!

The Atkins and South Beach diets advocate keeping under 20 grams net carbs/day, but only during the Induction Phase (which is the first 2 weeks).  This is just to shift your metabolism into fat-burning mode (so the theory goes).  \n\nAfter that, you are supposed to increase your carb intake so that you don't lose weight too fast.  But you still aren't allowed to go carb-wild.

Yes. It can be hard though. It's a lifetime thing. I tried in the short term to provide another support and stuffed myself with low-carb food but lost a ton of weight. Lots of cheese and meat, and a lot of the stuff that Dr. Atkins probably wouldn't recommend like bacon.

Give Atkins or South Beach Diet a try to jump start your diet.  It'll help you make better choices later.  And try to do some sort of exercise daily for at least 30 minutes.  Walking is excellent.  If you can go for longer periods or add 10 minutes here or there throughout the day you'll see big results in no time.  Get a pedometer and see how many steps you take in an average day.  Try to increase it by 2000.  (it's about a mile)  Try to get up to like 8,000 or more to lose weight.  You'll be surprised at how easy it can be.  You'll see how 10 minutes here and there can really add up.  Good luck!

I recommend that you READ the South Beach Diet book.  \n\nBut I do not recommend DIET.  I recommend that you make a permanent change to your attitude and what and when you eat.  \n\nStop eating food that will KILL you.

Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet lasts for 2 weeks. It is within these two weeks that you should have a weight loss boost due to the lack of carbohydrates, fruits, and sugars.

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.

My personal experience is that weight watchers is easier to live with in the long term.  It is not a fast weight loss though, it really does require a long term lifestyle change to get good results.\n\nI found that Atkins and South Beach diets did not make me feel good - although I know several people who have been very successful with them.  Try checking the South Beach diet out of the library and see if you think that the program is simple and clear for you to follow.

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?

if you need to lose weight quickly and without exercising then doing the atkins diet will drop the pounds of very quickly...very few carbs and lots of protein..long term weightloss is healthier and by having a few carbs and more protein is better than no carbs at all..you will loose weight more steadily..also eat your largest meal in the day rather than the evening as you are more likely to burn off the calories

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.

Southbeach diet.  It's healthier than atkins.  I've done both and they both allow you to lose weight really fast, but southbeach is easier to stay on in the long run.
