Answer 1

The only diet that will work is one that you can stick to. It should contain a variety of foods. You will have to consume less calories than you burn every day so activity is also important. Fad diets never work for long.

Answer 2

Everyone has their own metabolism & it varies with age. Eating only "raw" foods will change your metabolism. Veggies & fruits are great for you in doses. Be careful of the natural sugar intake -your body might not be able to digest all that drastically. Follow a doctors orders when changing your entire diet. Good luck & stay healthy!

Answer 3

The best diet that worked for me is what I call the high-stress divorce diet.

I lost a total of 70lbs in 6 months because I rarely ate, smoked 2 packs of cigarettes a day and worked out 6 days a week.
I would not recommend this diet to anyone or would I have recommended it for myself. It kind of just happened. I have quit smoking now so that is good.

Basically, just watch your food portions, lower your fat intake, eat veggies and fruits and exercise. That's the healthy diet I now follow.

Answer 4

Don't do it. Your body won't be able to handle it, and you will become anemic. As great as those sites are, you don't want to do that. You need a healthy, balanced diet that includes eggs (cooked), meat, nuts, fiber, etc.

I lost almost 60 lbs by walking and eating better. I ate less junk food and more healthy foods. More fruits, more veggies, balanced meals with red meat and chicken.

My friend Jess and I walked 12 miles a week--4 miles mondays, wednesdays, and fridays.

Just stay active and eat better.
