I don't completely support it...but I hear Atkins can help shed many pounds within a month...after that it's a slow battle...but it's good for dropping the initial pounds.

I have never really had an issue with wieght (though now I am getting a tummy) but I do know it can only be accomplished by changing your diet.

You can really eat all the time...it's what you eat though that gets you. Things like instead of a bag of chips...baby carrots and a very low calerie dip/dressing. It's better for you and it fills you up. It's actually better to eat than to starve yourself.

Water. Water. Water. Fills you up and it's good for you.

Try eating with Chopsticks. One of the issues we have is that we eat too fast and too much. Ever notice sometimes you overeat? It's because you never let the food to start to digest (thus making you feel less hungry). Also try eating your salad 2nd, so the food will start to digest quicker. Eat Slow = Eating well.

And of course regular excercise. Get your heart going for 30 minutes every 3 days and work out at least 2.

It's about eating healthy and being diligent with what you eat. It also takes time and patience.

And remember it's NOT about being fat...but about feeling fit.
