   I’m on NV now. No crazy side effects and still losing weight. About 4 pounds a week with no excercise!!! I tried Jenny Craig a while ago too but i didnt have the time to eat 5 or 6 meals a day so it really didnt work out.

   I tried Hydroxycut when it first came out years ago, unless your really exercising alot, I wouldn’t recommend them. They worked alright but some weird side effects. I remember feeling shaky and hyped up when I was using them.Like I couldn’t sit still at all. I had to be constantly doing something. Maybe that’s why they worked, but I’d never touch them again. I wouldn’t want that feeling again.

   Ive tried Jenny Craig. It definitely works but it gets expensive and i got tired of eating packaged foods (lot of salt in them too). I have also done weight watchers which is probably the healthiest and cheapest one of all.

   I have my own regime that works. If you look at the philosphy of all of the above basically they follow the same methodology that calories in must be less than calories out to lose weight.

   If you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit.

   Here are the golden rules:
   Initially cut down to 1200 (women)/1500 (men) calories.
   Exercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions.
   Don’t eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise.
   Drink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day.
   Limit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day.
   Never eat dinner after 6pm.
   Adopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!
   Make low fat dairy choices

   Follow this menu plan as a suggestion:
   Breakfast 7am – 1 cup hot water w lemon
   20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR
   fruit salad w low GI soy yogurt
   Snack 10am – pear or apple (both low GI)
   Lunch 12.30pm – muligrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)
   Snack 3pm – low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt
   Dinner 5.30pm – 120-150g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato
   Snack – 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)

   Exercise is must be intense. Refer to http://www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. You can do a circuit class but this counts as one weights session. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between.

   Cardio needs to include running, boxing and spin. If your classes are less than 1 hour top it up with cardio before and after classes. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes.

   To maintain you can increase calories to 1500 (women)/1800 (men) and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 or 1500 cal and 6 sessions again.

   Good luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

   hi am not sure whats available in the markets…but, this is what i did to lose weight… PLEASE DONT TAKE PILLS… pills are nothing but anorectic agents… they make you feel less hungry… there is no way to loose weight fast… though , sauna , steam and massages help slightly… it has to be combined with diet and excercise… pills are very bad in the long run… can lead to impotency and infertility…

   i lost 10 kgs in about 5 months time… i am getting married in august and i desperately needed to loose weight… i was 65 kilos when i started… according to my BMI , i was 10kgs + overweight… i stand 5′2.odd and 65 kilos is grossly overweight…

   just dieting wont help like i found out in my case… diet + exercise will do the trick…

   i’ll tell you what i did… it worked for me… hope it works for you too

   the trick is not to starve but to eat smart and stay healthy

   what you should cut down :
   oil , butter , cheese , margarine , mayonisse , sauces (depends , will get back to that a bit later), chips , crisps, nuts , chocolates , sugar , cola, fizz , areated drinks ,ice creams , chocolate , alcohol , cakes and everything else thats hi – cal… you’ll need to avoid everything thats sweet , oily and sticky… if you are not sure about what foods to avoid… check the net…loads of info available…

   vegetables / meat to avoid :
   potatoes – very very important , beetroot (its a root and has concenterated sugar in it) , all kinds of roots basically except carrot… avoid lamb, mutton , pork , beef, and prawns… all these put on weight… eat only lean meats… thats fish and chicken.. avoid eating egg yolk… eat just the egg white…

   fruits to avoid :
   mangoes , bananas , jackfruit

   now that we had a look at what foodstuff is to be avoided…you might be wondering if there is anythig at all that you can eat… thats how i felt… there is loads of stuff you can eat actually

   here they come

   fast foods are a big no no… you can order salads and special lo cal foods that are avaailable in most outlets…

   its best to eat at home for the period you are dieting and trying to lose weight…after those few months… once you’ve shed your load…you can get back to your usual lifestyle… of course with some caution…

   my diet…
   breakfast:

   skimmed milk (use skimmmed milk , is low in fat , other typer of milk are higher in fat content) , fruit… i am from India… am not sure where you are from and hence you might not understand certain food types we consume here… but let me tell you something… Indian food is very very oily and very difficult to diet…

   and try cereal in the mornings… oats, weetabix… etc… have a good breakfast…alwaays use brown bread… whole wheat brown bread is very good for weight reduction…

   for lunch , we are staple rice eaters… rice is bad for fat reduction… but i still took rice because its a habit tht cant be changed… everyone takes rice here… so… rice – one cup – 100gms and lots of veggies cooked in less oil.. and absolutely no coconut and curry with less oil… all in all keep your oil intake to 2 tea spoons everyday… that would be just for seasoning… also using olive oil helps a lot…

   then for dinner… compulsarily have wheat… pasta is a good option…but make sure you buy wheat pasta… check before buying… and of course in pasta absolutely no sauces… some varities of sauces are acceptable… as far as they dont have cheese , butter , oil ,mayonisse and fattening substances in general… you can use tomato spicy sauces etc… make sure your sugar intake doesnt cross 2 – 3 spoons per day… (not tablespoons) and no butter and ghee of course… eat a lot of fruits and vegetables… and all kinds of cereal… if you are hungry… eat a fruit… or you can eat stuff like puffed wheat and puffed rice… but no puffed corn… corn products again put on weight…

   eat sandwiches as much as possible… i dont know which part of the world you are from and hence cant suggest much for you in terms of recepies…

   and combined with dieting… you need to excercise for atleast an hour everyday… you’ll see the difference…defenitely… if you think gym is boring… take up dance classes… or run along the beach… if you have one… or skate… or just about any physical activity… brisk walking will also help…
   the key is to stay healthy while you diet and lose weight…

   drink loads of water…atleast 6 glasses per day… and do a lot of physical activity…. take the stairwy instead of the lift…. and small things like that…
   if you have any more queries…mail me… cheers and good luck its not difficult…you’ll get used to it in a few days… and of course the results are fab:) who doesnt want a great looking body…

   you can get back to your normal lifestyle once you slim down… after that… its just eating what you like and burning it out the next day with just a little bit of excercise also check your weight everyday… its a great way to motivate and monitor your progres

   Hi, Last yr.I lost 60 pds in 15 wks with weight watchers it really works. I was 184 now im 140. Inexpensive, easy,
   and exciting. I watched myself turn into a new person. If your like me I love to eat therefore a diet is not for me. Knowing im on a diet makes me eat more. Weight Watchers teaches you how to eat in smaller portions eat what you want,a little walking,some crunches,lots of water and counting points. Its assume.When we eat we eat till we’re stuffed not satisfied. (example: opening the belt so more can fit). Try this the next time you eat when you feel that hunger pain in your belly eat till you no longer fill the pain and watch how little you eat.

   i try most of them, but i like mine better.
   breakfast: 2 boiling white eggs and 1 toast bread(wheat)
   2 hours later: apple or banana if you are hungry drink protein powder with low fat milk
   lunch: Tuna or any lean protein just one portion which is like size of playing card. with rice(1 cup) or wheat bread 1 slice
   evening: 2-3 boiling potato and low fat vanilla ice cream (1/2 cup)
   dinner: any protein like fish and chicken or beef (same size of playing card). light yogurt
   if you want to have salad take out some carb of your diet (like make it 1 potato or less rice for lunch then have salad insted).
