- Low Calorie (lose-it) lost about 20 lbs but always felt hungry and found myself eating a lot of carbs, and thinking as long as I stay under calories I can eat whatever...but this does not help me in the least bit to stop eating junk.
- Weight Watchers - same as the low calorie diet above, only now I have to think harder to calculate points.
- Atkins - last time I did this plan didn't lose any weight. I don't know why. Another time lost 5 lbs.
Not sure which diet is the best, but can I can tell you, that I really only lost a real good amount of weight in a short time on a juice fast. Mind you this is a very restrictive diet, but you will find amazing health benefits!
Yes, I fell of the "wagon" a lifetime of eating behaviors and addictions is not an easy battle. I am going back on the juice/smoothie fast to lose my target weight. Then I am going to design my own diet called "Real Food". Over all what I am finding out and learning is it really is about "what" you eat and how many calories daily and about exercise.
Stay tuned to the adventure.
