If you lose 3 lbs a week that is excellent results, you really don't want
a quick weight lose program.


That's one of the "conventional wisdom" beliefs that has recently been
studied and seriously questioned.

What was once considered to be "rapid weight loss" and prone to regaining
the weight
has been proven to have just the opposite effect for motivational and
biological reasons.

It really depends on how much weight you need to lose.

For some, Weighwatchers, NutriSystems, Atkins, South Beach, etc. work but
more people that have relied on those programs regain the weight than those
that stick to the basics.

Richard,
Weigh****chers is the basics, it is basically a diabetic diet, limit
sweets, breads, eat more complex carbs, high fruits and vegetables,
limit meats. It is the type of diet doctors and nuitritonist would
recommend for long term health. The only difference is weekly meetings
for support. You obviously didn't need the support, but some do. I
would take a guess you followed weight watchers plan, without knowing it.

Probably pretty much what I've had success with. Eat a balanced diet,
control portion size to limit calories, and exercise.
It's easy enough if you set you mind to it. Also easy to fall away
from too. But once you've done it, like a bicycle, you can do it
again. I think with today's easy lifestyle, most people have to get
on the bike now and then....or just get fat.
