Every year Americans invest billions of dollars in weight loss diets and gimmicks, many of which yield few results. However, the lure of quick, easy weight loss is hard to resist. Despite ineffective tools, most hopeful consumers are willing to give the next weight loss fad a chance. If you're planning to start a new diet, it is important to remember the following information.\nFood-specific diets: Have you ever tried the cabbage diet or the fruit-only diet? These are just a couple of examples of diets that promote one "specific" food that causes weight loss. No matter how much you think you'll enjoy ice cream at every meal, inevitably you will get bored with eating the same food repeatedly. As a result, you'll eat less food than needed to maintain your weight. This type of diet will not teach you healthier eating habits or provide a balance of nutrients, and consequently is not effective for long-term weight loss.\n\nHigh-protein, low-carbohydrate diets: One of the most recent trends in dieting, these diets are based on the concept that carbohydrates are "bad" and that everyone has some degree of insulin resistance, resulting in poor carbohydrate metabolism. Many proponents of these diets suggest that including carbohydrates in your diet will cause weight gain. The reality, though, is that eating more calories (whether as carbohydrate, fats, or protein) than you burn will cause weight gain.\n\nHigh-fiber, low-calorie diets: As I've noted in many previous blog entries, fiber-rich foods play an important role in a healthy diet. They are a helpful ingredient of weight loss efforts because they provide bulk to the diet, which helps you feel fuller sooner. Be careful, though: if you plan to increase the fiber in your diet, be sure to increase your fluid intake at the same time or you may experience cramping, bloating, and constipation. High-fiber diets will help with weight loss only if you restrict calories in conjunction with addition of extra grains, fruits and vegetables.\n\nLiquid diets: Consumers face a couple of different liquid diet options. Your local grocery store and pharmacy sell over-the-counter liquid meal replacements, which can be expensive and frequently add extra calories to daily consumption if not managed carefully. On the other hand are liquid diets that require medical supervision. These diets are usually very low in calories and may result in metabolic abnormalities if dieters are not carefully monitored. Neither type of liquid diet should be used for long‑term weight loss unless monitored by a health care professional. Radically changing your caloric intake in this way will not result in long-term behavior modification and healthy eating patterns.\n\nFasting: As a way to cleanse the body or jump-start a weight-loss program, fasting has been recommended for years. However, all that fasting really does is deprive your body of nutrients and decrease your energy, leaving you feeling weak and lightheaded. If the right nutrients are not available for your cells to use as energy, your liver will convert fat stores to ketones for use as energy (ketosis). Long-term ketosis can be harmful to your health. \nNo fad diet or gimmick will work magic for safe and effective weight loss. The following are some suggestions for ensuring a long-term healthy eating plan and getting your weight loss efforts off to an encouraging start: \nEat a variety of foods. Remember, a balanced diet will ensure that you get all necessary nutrients. \n\nGet some physical activity every day. Calories in must be less than calories out to ensure successful weight loss. To keep "calories out" at a healthful level, make you get at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day.\n\nInclude sources of fiber in your diet. They will add bulk and give you a feeling of fullness.\n\nChoose a diet low in fats, saturated fats, and cholesterol. You do need to consume some fat for good health. Aim for no more t

South Beach Diet! I started it 4 weeks ago. They say in the first 2 weeks you loose 8-13 lbs. I lost 5 or 6 in the first week. In two weeks I lost 9. Now I am losing 1 to 2 lbs per week and inches too. Its not a low carb diet like atkins. I am a huge carb and sweets lover but I have no cravings for those bad carbs now. I love this diet and can do it easy for the rest of my life. Theres lots of things you can do, such as pills and when you stop you regain the weight. With south beach you keep the weight off.\n\nPhase 1 is basically a low carb diet. After that you slowly add in good carbs. Here is the food list for phase 1:\nhttp://southbeachdietguide.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4460\nit may look like you can't do it, but it really is painless by the 2nd or 3rd day. This is not just another fad diet. This is a very healthy diet. Doctors recommend it for a healthy heart. \n\nAfter phase 1 you also add in fruit slowly. Its also okay to be bad once in a while like thanksgiving for example. You can feast with everyone else! Then get back on track. If you gain weight just go back to phase 1 for a week or two.\n\nYou don't need to buy the book. Just research th diet online. There are many resources and receipies. Good luck with whatever you do.

No.  Phase one is pretty strict.  Fortunately, it only lasts for a short time.  Read the book, or get it out of the library.  It is a very effective diet if you follow it carefully.\n\nGood luck!!

Make you hungry and desperate fro something decent to eat!!!\n\nSeriously though, it is a meal replacement system.  It contains all the minerals, vitamins and essential elements you need to survive but puts them in a low calorie "shake" (or soup, or bar...).  All it does is reduce the calories you take in over the day.  Personally Id rather eat a sensible low cal diet of real food!

I haven't tried the diet but for the past week I have been having one in the morning. It taste gross like baby formula and smells the same, but it keeps the hunger down. I have been exercising like crazy (for me) (running 7 miles a day, 2 in the morning, 5 at night) and eating healthier I have lost 4 quick pounds. I mainly use slimfast to stop my hunger cravings not because I think it burns away the fat or gives extra energy.

I bought it and wasted my money.  It didn't eliminate my appetite one bit.  My advice is to change your eating habits.  Common sense here is invaluable.  Eliminate sweets and carbs.  Eat more raw and cooked vegs and more lean meat, and the pounds will drop off.

I didn't know what this diet was, but I looked it up.  I wouldn't recommend it.  I have been studying fitness for years, and I don't think it sounds healthy at all to lose that much weight.  Even if you did lose it, you would probably gain it back.  I would just stick to eating healthier and exercising 3 to 5 times per week.  The pay off is wonderful.

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! :-)

Go for it!  My wife and I signed up for the Seattle Sutton diet.  I have lost 50 lbs and she has lost 40 lbs.  We were both very obese people and adkins and all the others have not worked.  The food is fantastic and very tasty, We went on the 1200 calorie program.  We were warned that the first few days we would be hungry.  That never happened.  Important you must stick to the food plan.  When I cheated I would either not loose for a day or two or even gain a little.  As soon as I got back on plan I was back to loosing weight.

My husband, who does research at the University of Hawaii med school, was telling me this weekend about a clinical study they saw a presentation on demonstrating how bitter melon helped control borderline diabetes in rats, which resulted in significant weight loss after their bloodsugar was stabilized.\nSo guess what we bought at the nutrition store this weekend? ;)
