The key for losing weight is not difficult - eat less food and move more often - the difficulties surface when we really try to put that into operation! There are lots of opportunities to fail out there don't you think?! The sole diet which really worked for me was wu-yi tea, it can be checked out in the resource box below, they have a few free trials remaining, it has been reported in Reader's Digest and CNN. I worked off 30 pounds, it really does produce results!

Nothing.

I've lost 90lbs over the last 15 months and I haven't given up anything. Sure I have to eat some foods less often, but you don't have to give up anything. As long as you keep an eye on your calorie intake and how often you indulge in less-than-good-for-you foods, you can continue to enjoy foods you've always loved.

I stay away from fast food in general, except Subway. I don't do any deep fried foods either and minimize sweets. I still treat myself from time to time, but since I've lost the weight and changed my eating I've found that eating my old way makes me sick to my stomach and very tired.
