Slimfast works for me.
Weight watchers worked for me at one time.
Moderation is the only thing that has ever worked for me when I wanted to lose a few pounds. Eating in moderation along with excerise in moderation was the only thing gives me the best results. Pilates and 30 minutes on the eliptical 3-4times a week helps me maintain a healthy weight. It isn't very time consuming either. I notice a difference after 2 weeks if I stop that regime.
Although I know it's not a long term solution, low-carb does help drop the pounds quickly. I've tried to do a modified low-carb diet for a long time, and the less I follow it, the more weight I've gained. I know the key is healthly eating and exercise, so I am trying to do both. However, in order to help facilitate my weight loss, I am trying to eliminate excess carbs. When I follow it strictly, it works for me, but I agree it is not a good long term solution since it is difficult to get the fruit you need on a low carb diet. Finding low carb veggies is not a problem. "30-day low carb diet solution" is a book that gives instructions on how to do low carb if you're interested. The first time I did it, I lost 10 pounds the first month, 5 more lbs after 2 more months and another 5 lbs six months later.
I have used Weight Watchers before and found the point system complicated for the first few weeks, but got easier as I went on. I read good things about the South Beach Diet too.
Reduce Calorie intake and excercise! I also eat my fruit before I eat my main meal. That way I start to fill up on the healthier fruit before my main meal which may not always be quite as health for me.
If you eat 2 or 3 (or worse, one!)meals a day, break up the amount of food you eat now into 5-7 smaller meals throughout the day. This alone will keep your blood sugar levels lower and increase your metabolism. Try to keep the carbs low and protein high. Drink a TON of water. Not eating enough is the worst thing you do...
The SCA Walk-Fit Program worked for me as well as cutting back on sweets and portion size. I only lost two pounds a month but I did not suffer and the pounds seem to stay off.
