Best Diet

and people don't realize that you don't need to actually work out to make a difference, just simple changes that help you lead a more active lifestyle; take the steps, walk a few blocks instead of taking the car, take a daily walk all these things make a HUGE difference.

look into the Dukan diet.  Its a pretty effective one and from my experience and research it is healthy.

That's one of the interesting things about Dukan, it incorporates things like not using elevator into the diet itself.

It's a tough diet though, akin to Atkins

weight watchers actually works and there is no real need to workout

My father's been doing weight watchers for a while now (more for overall health than to lose weight) and he's very makpid on going to the gym because it 'earns' you more points.

Was that meant to be a response to my comment or the OP?

Yes, it actually inhibits weight loss.

Has that been proven beyond a doubt yet? The studies I read weren't solidly done. Also they don't have a good explanation for why. And according to some explanations, you can beat the problems that diet soda causes, for example, if it causes you to crave food more, you still don't have to eat more.

Just my own unscientific dieting experience and what I've read.

Sounds like a pretty unscientific diet... Why would your body go into starvation mode (assuming you are not starving yourself)?

Once you stop eating something (carbs) ur body goes into starvation mode regarding that type of food so you don't gain anything by not eating it

[how]

sounds a little far fetched to me

I lost 40 pounds in 3.5 months.

Breakfast - Bowl of Kashi go Lean (has protein  - fills you up for longer)
Lunch - Carrot, Red Pepper, Apple, Piece of celery and a whole wheat sandwhich (or melba toast) with either egg salad, tuna or cream cheese.
Supper - 1 plate of whatever is being served. No doubles, no snacking between meals unless it's a fruit or vegetable.
The supper part helps because you don't feel like you're being deprived of anything because you're not. The point is, eat very healthy the rest of the day, and eat whatever you want in limited quantities for supper.

Drank many cups of water a day and didn't exercise at all.

I had 2 bowls of ice cream at 1am last night (One in a stuffed cone and the other with 2 hot pretzels) But then I'm not hungry till late afternoon.

For most Americans I think the don't be lazy diet works well. If someone wants to lose weight why wouldn't they want to work out? It not only helps you lose weight, but actually makes you have a healthy body..... Also no junk food or beverages besides water or the like always helps (alcohol has more calories than people think).

wow! i learned something new and unexpected on DDF today  - 
   i just looked it up cuz of what jj1000 wrote: vodka has 85-100 calories per shot! CRZZZZY!

[ADanFan]

(alcohol has more calories than people think).

insane amount of calories per shot:  (so 4,5 shots is same as half a dinner)

Just because you lost weight doesn't mean it's effective, healthy etc.
