just modify your life to be healthier! you dont have to go on a "diet" to lose weight, just eat less fats and more fruits and veggies!

if you are someone who struggles with portion control, then meal replacement plans can be good. i like take shape for life. i have used some of their stuff before and its pretty good.

Thanks for the info. Dont have problem with portion control or anything like that . Just looking to see if anyone has any interesting diets or something there on that is interesting

I have about 30 lbs to lose. I am always looking for a new and interesting way to lose weight. I am trying something new. Eat a small amount every hr from 10am - 10pm. I like to eat often, so thought I would give this a try. I am not saying this is good, or will work for anyone, but will see if it works for me.

I just read one in Woman's World Magazine..i can't do it since I'm nursing but I'm very curious. Targets belly fat..It's only 'dieting' 2 consecutive days a week. Pick 2 days and U consume about 650 calories each day. Breakfast 8oz lowfat milk and a serving of fruit. Lunch 8oz vegetable soup with an added cup of veggies and a cup of carrots or celery sticks. Dinner 2 cups mixed veggies stir fried with cooking spray and 8oz milk. Snacks...2-8oz glasses low fat milk....all the water and coffee and tea and spices and lemon juice U want to add. Then eat regular the other 5 days.

thank you all for the info!

You might take a peek at the Mediterranean Diet. It's built on eating fresh, healthy foods. I don't follow a particular organized plan myself, but if I did, this would be the one I would choose.

yea, eat healthy, and exercise, and keep a journal to motivate you of future goals.

Weight watchers was great for me. There meetings and encouraging people that you can become friends with. Also, you can always hear different reciepes. I enjoyed it. I used it after my last two children and I still follow the rules. Weight watchers show you how to live and eat. its a life style better then a diet.

Good luck and stay encourage.

Des totally nailed it; it's not about diets but about lifestyle change. A diet is a temporary thing one does to lose weight and eventually you will go off it. If you don't change your lifestyle, shortly after going off the diet you can all the weight back, plus a few because you've screwed your metabolism up.

I'm doing a thing from the book "Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease" by Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn. It is basically a Vegan diet with no added fats or oils. I did this because there is a good bit of heart disease in my family and I have been lucky so far.

I like this change. I feel dramatically better, weight is pouring off me, and my head is clearer than it has been in years. I've even found that I drink about 1/4 the coffee I used to because I'm not as tired.

Now, I want to get going on the exercise!
