Ask your doctor if doing this will hurt some condition that you may have before you do it. Ask him to check your thyroid and for diabetes, this will make a difference in your ability to lose weight.

If you have no medical problems and you are looking for overnight results, you will be disappointed.
Diets don't work for long, most people gain the weight right back after they stop.
Before you can lose weight you have to be willing to change your lifestyle eating and exercise patterns . Most people are not willing to do this.
If I had a quick solution, I would be a millionaire.
What I have seen work is quite simple really, juice. This must become your new life. Do this forever and you will lose weight and feel very good and full of energy.
Fresh squeezed fruit and vegetable juice is full of enzymes and vitamins, heat destroys all of this so it must be home made and used right away or kept in an airtight container for a few hours. Drink fresh juice until noon; a glass for breakfast and at 10am.
You can have a juice or veggie lunch.
For supper eat a healthy meal of steamed veggies with protein OR starch. Never mix starches and proteins in same meal eg. meat and veggies OR potatoes and veggies, but never meat and potatoes.
I goes without saying that you should stay away from fried foods and candy, cake, ice cream etc.
Think natural, if its processed then it provably is not going to do you any good.
A good starting place is 1 pound of carrots and 1 red apple, get a juice machine at Walmart or your favorite store and try it.
The first week you should juice religiously morning and noon to clean yourself out. You will find after a couple of days that you will not feel very hungry as long as you stay with it. Its pretty amazing really.
When you carry your juice to work use a stainless steel thermos bottle.
You don't have to be fancy about exercise, just consistent. Walk every day for 15 minutes and increase it eventually to an hour. The important thing is to do it 5-7 time per week!
Oh, and don't tell anyone what you are doing, they will ask you after a few months how you did it.
There is a psychological reason for not telling anyone as well. Many times when you share your plans, you get the naysayers of course, and you get the congratulations from friends. Subconsciously this makes you feel like you have already accomplished your goal and consequently you will stop pursuing it and fail. This is true for most goals.
