diets have a 98% success rate of failure so to test this out go on a really cheap one and see. The one thing that really works is NLP or Hypnosis to take your mind away from eating or a really cheap one is get a new life be happy then you will lose the weight guraranteed

Do the Dr. Phil diet. It’s actually very reasonable and doesn’t ask you to do dumb things like take out huge amounts of carbs and butter everything.

The one using willpower. When i didn’t expect the solution to come from a box or bag with nice advertising slogans.
Or collonic irrigation can shift quite a bit of weight too. Maybe enough to give you the willpower to keep it shifted even?

Try not eating so darn much junk food. Worked for me! Do a lot of walking, too. That speeds up the process.
You can substitute healthy snacks like celery or carrots and drink lots of water when you feel snacky.
Most of the diets out there are “fad” diets. I’ve tried a few, lost weight, and gained it back that way. You need a lifestyle change if you really want to lose weight!

Good luck, and I just wanted you to know Bally is working for me so far, and I pay $45 a month, that includes daycare for my son while I am working out.

for sure: a low carb diet…………. but you WILL gain it all back, and then some……….
my mom became diabetic and had to go on a diabetic diet. She lost weight gradually and never put it back on

I am a compulsive eater, so for me the best way to go is not to buy any snack foods because I will eat them whether I’m hungry or not and I will eat all of it at once.
Anyone can lose weight, the hard part is keeping it off. To do that you have to realize that you have to change how you eat forever.

I counted calories. It doesn’t work for everybody. There are 3500 calories in a pound of fat. Depending on how many calories you burn you need to lower that each day to burn off excess fat. I cut out excess calories, soda whether diet or regular, walked an hour everyday, took half the portions I would normally take and then ate only half to that serving. Good luck!

I’ve been doing low-carb diet for about 4 months and have lost 20 lbs so far. I do eat carbs, but always high-fiber whole grains–such as whole wheat bread (1 slice/day), whole wheat pasta (small portion every once in a while). My doctor said to continue with what I’m doing because my rate of weight loss is just right to maintain good health.

stress from a divorce works really well. If that’s not an option then eat a lot of raw veggies and fruit, go by ’suggested serving size’ with prepared meals, exercise , drink water and cut out sodas

Yeah, sure. Low carb, I guess you’d call it. It’s really simple, lots of raw vegetables, some fruit, very little carbs, fat, and sugar. It’s basically counting calories. As long as I keep the calories under 1500, I lose weight… simple. The key is keeping your nutrition levels high and calories to a minimum.
I started this program in October, last year. I lost over 30 pounds by December. I’ve continued to lose 15 more, but at a slower rate. I’m at my ‘ideal’ weight now, so I guess I’m okay. The neat thing about vegetables is, you can eat all you want whenever you want. I love salads, so this works well for me.
‘Nuff said?

I had success with Atkins.
I have kept it off because I’m not hungry however I have cravings for some of those starchy foods.
I have implemenyed some exercise and everything is going great now.

I do low carb and never was successful in any type of diet ever before low carb came into my life. I was bulemic for 30 years. Don’t kid yourself thinking that is only a teenager disease cause it’s not. I have never felt worthy of anything unless I am happy with my weight. For the first time in all these years I am finally free. I have now been doing low carb for 2 1/2 years. Oh my gosh how I love this new way of eating. I do not call it a diet as in a diet it is only for a moment and changing my way of eating was paramount to my life. I do the Atkins low carb but all low carb plans work if you get the books and read how.
I do not weigh myself this is a problem for me so I just watch that I do not eat things not on plan. I never count carbs either. I lost 50 pounds and now in 2 1/2 years I have not made myself vomit once or felt the need to. I have maintained now 110 and feel great. I went to the Doctor recently and I haven’t gained one pound.

Hi Tara, I have been using a modified Adkins diet. I have always been over weight my entire life and i’ve used most diets including weight watchers. This is the only one that has made me feel better and look better. However, dont forget that with diet you must introduce some sort of exercise program. I dont care what you do, but do something. Here’s basically how it works
Adkins is a low carb diet. We have all heard the skeptics, right, but they may also not be over weight either.
Carbs are the powerhouses that we consume everyday….however, they are also the things we store if we dont use it all up…this is why we get fat. Sugar is stored as fat. So the less carbs you consume, the less work you have to do to burn it off. But there is the catch to that, if you do nothing, your body will say to itself…..”hey what are doing straving me” and it will begin to shut down and then get into the cycle of you dont eat that much but are still gaining…..this is where exercise tricks the body. Exercise builds muscle and muscle is what causes us to burn excess fat and consumed calories. If you are only taking in “some” carbs and more proteins and veggies, then the body has to burn the fat that is already stored….this is why you lose weight. Because when you exercise, and it has used all the consumed carbs the body MUST take from the storehouses of fat we have.
I have lost 25lbs since March 06. I would have done more, but had an illness non related to diet and exercise. I was also going through a seperation and now a divorce, so my personal life caused me to do some binging and no exercise. I gained only a few pounds that i had lost, but I’m now back on my routine and i will stay, progressing at the gym. When i first started, it was only the treadmil and i could only do about 5 min. Now i have moved up to the elipitcal machine at 25min and doing upper and lower body with weight machines. I feel great. I’m looking better everyday…..and by the way, i weight myself everyday, or every other day….this works for me. Good luck and God bless. If you want more info…check my profile.

Broiled fish (no coating) and steamed vegies work well.
Include Kidney beans, Black beans, any “dark” beans have protine.Stay away from, salt. sugar, junk food, and don’t even think about “fast foods”. Honey on the steamed vegies makes for a nice change.

South Beach Diet!
And by the way, my name is Tara B. tooo!

first….don’t try to diet. you’ll just end up back where you were.
seriously…been there, done that.
now, as for a great diet program that is not a diet, but a way of life….
check out herbalife. there are tons of websites out there and it’s been around for about 26 years. it’s just marketed differently, so it’s not really HUGE program.
i am pregnant right now, so i can’t use it, b/c of the herbals that some of the programs products contain.
however, my husband started using it to feel better and lose a few inches.
he is soooo energetic, now and he lost a about 5 inches off his waist in about a month or two.
i can’t wait to use it to lose the baby weight when i’m done nursing.
it’s basically a protein shake in the morning instead of breakfast, then you take supplements (pills) 3 times a day. the supplements are basic viatamins and herbal complexes.
then, he just eats regualr meals lunch and dinner.
he adds all kinds of extra stuff to vary the shakes, too. so, you aren’t stuck with the same thing everyday. sometimes he has just chocolate, sometimes he adds bananas. there are all kinds of recipes to jazz the shakes up that won’t interfer with their nutritional value!
now, if you want to lose weight instead of maintain, like my husband, then you just eat a shake for breakfast and lunch, then eat a regular dinner.
now, if you get hungry in between, he said he never does, but sometimes he’ll eat one of the programs protein bars, or they have other stuff, like soup and other snacks that correlate with the program.
check it out….it’s worth it!
weight watchers is also really great…it helps to teach you to eat well….again, not “dieting” just monitoring what’s going into your body.
everything is o.k. to eat…as long as it’s in moderation!!!
