I'm trying to lose weight, and to no avail....was wondering if anyone knew of any diet plans that actually work?

I'll take any advice given!

I reccomend buying the book.My mother in law lost like 60 pounds on it in about 4 months.

It works on reduction of carbs or none at all in the beginning. I do know you get to eat a lot of meat but no pasta breads and such.

See...my eating habits are just difficult.

The only meat I have no trouble eating is chicken, and I eat my pastas. Of course, if I could just eat all pastas, or something else it'd be perfect, ya know? Of course, I just have to be a picky eater ;)

Well....I'll check out the book....hopefully I'll be able to lose the weight and be able to fit into my high school pantaloons again! :)

On the Atkins diet you basically live on protein and cut alll the carbs out. I lost 25 lbs that way in about 3 weeks. :)

You must drink plenty of water on this diet.

The trouble is you eventually want some mashed pototoes and pasta again :(

You end up on the modified aktins where you really watch the carb intake to maintain the weight loss and to prevent the regained weight.

I live by a nutritional program which is rather similar to Atkins in some ways.

The book is called The Sugar Control Bible and Cookbook, I think. I'm not at home right now, and I've loaned out the book anyway...oh, Here it is.

But it calls for eating more protiens and FATS, and eliminating all sugars and processed starches...That means Pasta!!!

The book says that whenever the dieter refers to a particular food as "my" such-and-such, you know it's gonna be a battle to get him/her to give it up, but give it up they must, if they're going to really see results and feel healthier.

The neat thing is though, that after 4 days of being on this diet, your cravings completely leave, so you won't miss the pasta, unless maybe someone sits next to you with a big plate of lasagna.

There is a "religion" diet but it's Catholic(i think they might base it in a Catholic way). I'm sure there are others out there for God. http://www.lightweigh.com/ It costs about 140 bucks though but it's supposed to bring u closer to God and it's meant for a group. They were on Life on the rock (Ewtn)

You may not have to pay it all at once, "The price of The Light Weigh averages less than the cost of a pizza a week".

I do what Anna does (she beat me and made me by the book), smoke cigarettes, do pilates, and go to an aerobics class for five year old girls every saturday.

I was getting a little umm...large in the posterior region, but i started doing pilates and eating and sleeping right, so now i have lost twenty pounds and am back to my fighting weight 130.
