The only diet I have had success with is "the digestive chemistry diet" which explains how to lose weight without exercise. If you exercise, then that will speed up weight loss too
It's the way that you combine your foods so that they digest efficiently, and it tells you to eat foods that makes your body alkaline, so that the access acids stored in fat cells are neutralized, making it unnecessary for our bodies to hold on the excess weight.
If the toxins are neutralized and detoxed out of your fat cells first, then when you start to burn fat while exercising, you will not feel as bad. Drink raw carrot juice, and raw leafy green vegetable juice (very alkaline)
Another part of it is to separate foods that don’t digest well together. Certain foods eaten at the same time will cause a digestive conflict, and then the food starts to rot before it is digested.
To start out with stop drinking sodas, refined foods, pizza, cheese, and start eating more raw carrots, lettuce, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, cooked green beans.
Also try to only eat raw smoothies for breakfast and or raw carrot juice.
Don’t eat proteins and starches at the same meal
Don’t eat sugars with starches
Cut down on meat
Only eat fruits with other fruits, and try to go at least 2-3 hours between meals so as to let the meal leave your stomach before you put new food into your stomach
You should get some results just by doing this to start with
Well any sensible diet will make you lose 5-10 pounds in a week if you never dieted before. Most of its water and food volumeweight but you will still be smaller.
This is all very interesting, I need to lose weight and keep it off forever. I just can't get started, I would like to know how to kick start my weight loss, but in a healthy way. I have cut down in alot of ways, but I haven't lost anything yet. Hope that someone here can give me some tips.
Jillian from that show is so much like my wife. Similar bodies, similar facial features, hair............only thing is...... I think she's a bit "sweeter" and "nicer" than my wife.
[/quote] Well I looked at it and the first thing I saw was that it cost money. I for one simply cannot spend money on a diet. Spending the money on the healthier food is difficult enough for me.(Family of 5,$60 a week food budget) So can anyone suggest a plan that really works and is FREE?

Healthy food actually cost less than junk food. I will start with beans. They are very inexpensive and loaded with nutrients such as dietary fiber, complex carbohydrate and protein. Vegetables and fruits are not expensive at all if you buy them at the right times.
Now I have seen various posters recommending nuts and olive oil. I am not sure if these folks recommend them for right reasons. Nuts, olive oil and avocados contain lots monounsaturated, a fat thought to be good for the heart. However, fat is fat as far as calories are concerned. Put another way if you eat fat you will get fat. So if your goal is lose weight as quickly as possible, stay away from all fatty products including nuts, olive oil and avocados.
The answer to your question is yes. Eating less and a moderate amount of exercise will make you thinner and healthier.
