What are some of the wierd things you have done for weight loss?
My husband was actually hospitalized in High School for anorexia, he was a wrestler and wanted to keep his weight down, so he lived on 4 saltines and a carrot a day, and drank nothing but water. He was hospitalized when he passed out in class.
I have never gone that extreme, but I did the T-factor diet in high school, which is no fat, and a few years ago I tried the Adkins diet, which is no carbs. I actually lost 80 pounds on the Atkins diet, but I started losing my hair, somy husband made me stop.
I have a friend who is doing the lemon juice and cayenne pepper diet. No results yet, she just started.

Keep us updated on your progress, if they work, with no side effects, that would be nice to know!

I think the most extreme diet I ever did was the Atkins diet. The diet did work and I lost 30 pounds but after a few months I started to feel weak so I had to stop. Walking is the best way to lose weight and you dont even have to diet.

I just bought the set of videos called "Walk Away the Pounds" I am on day 2 of the one mile walk. I hope it starts to work, I have about 150 pounds to lose, and I don't want to have surgery.

I've went through many years of trying every weight loss idea out there - and strongly discourage anyone from doing any of the fad diets/ideas that are out there. Developing healthy eating habits that you can follow through your life is the only way to go.

I just started the Atkins's Diet, again. Every time I am on it, I get low blood sugar and I start to shake. I have to hurry and get a snicker's. This happens about a week into the diet. I am adding one glass of chocolate soy milk. It has organic ingredients, however, it does have a little sugar. I guess I am on a reduced carb, not low-carb diet. I have been eating low car pastas and tortillas. I am aiming for 50 carbs, rather than 20. I will keep you posted on how it works out.
