Does anyone know a brilliant weight loss diet that they have tried and has worked for them? I would like to hear from anyone who has experienced a unique weight loss program that has helped them to lose excess pounds.

Like both of you, I lost weight on Atkins and on South Beach (which is a little less restrictive than Atkins). I stumbled across a diet that was developed by Wendy Chant which essentially is carb cycling and that has worked amazingly well for me. The diet is easy for me to stick to because you do eat carbs so you don't feel as deprived as you do on Atkins and South Beach. I just finished the 6th week of the diet and have lost 18 lbs.

Thanks for letting me know about this diet. I will look it up and maybe try it too. I appreciate your help.

I havent. The only thing I am doing right now is trying to watch my portion sizes, because not eating things I want only leads to me feeling deprived and cheated. Portion control is the best way that I know of for me to lose weight. The Atkins diet is a good one, but the deprivation is awful on that regimen.

Yes I understand what you mean about depriving yourself. I have tried the Akins diet and although I lost weight with it, I went back to eating everything again, therefore, I put all the weight back on!

Exercise out doors as far as possible. There are two advantages of doing whatever you are doing out side. One advantage is that it gives your body a chance to get a lot of the much needed fresh air and sunshine. The second advantage is that the surroundings keep you perked up and it is a break form remaining cooped up all day lon
