I wanted to lose around 60 or so pounds, so I started the Atkins diet. In the first two weeks of the diet I had lost about 6 pounds.

To be successful on this diet I had to cut out my carbs such as, bread, soda’s, potato’s, milk, and things like that, but had to eat a lot of meats and veggies.

I also walked every night as well as bike riding whenever possible. The diet got a little difficult when you had cravings for bread and milks and deserts.

But having the strength and will power to stick to the diet helped a lot. Over the years I have tried many diet programs such as prescription diet pills, over the counter diet pills, diet shakes and diet food plans, but none seemed to work as well as the Atkins Diet.

I am now at 190 pounds and feel a lot better with more energy than I had before and I feel a lot healthier. I would recommend this diet to anyone that is serious about wanting to lose the weight.

My latest was the biggest loser diet in which I had lost 20lbs and felt great. I followed it for 4 months. I exercised by walking only. I never was the type to enjoy vigorous exercising.

Actually, I depise it and refuse to do anything if I have to work out.

I didn’t follow the diet plan but followed the calorie intake that was required.

By doing this made the plan a lot easier to follow. This didn’t make it difficult at all.

I’ve also was on the South beach diet when it first came out. There I went from 205 lbs to 135 in a year.

That was an easy plan. No Carbs simple as that but boring. I ate the same thing for 1 year. I never exercised in which I didn’t have too. Once the weight came off, I did more activities that felt like exercising.

I may go back to that plan. The meals were simple to make, I didn’t have to wrack my brain on what ingredients I needed and I didn’t have to fuss over what I wanted, Yes like I mentioned earlier it gets boring but the results were awesome.

I’ve tried Diet pills in the past. Now that Ephedra was taken off the market, Pills don’t work anymore. Metabolife worked wonders also for me. I dropped 10 lbs in two weeks and yes I did feel jittery but gave me that energy to get up and go.
