Answer 1

Judging from the majority of answers to your question, you’ll notice,they say the same thing and I have to repeat it again, you'll achieve your goal of losing weight thru a well balanced diet (80% alkaline foods meaning fruits/vegetables and 20% acidic foods daily), regular exercise (three/four times weekly 30 minutes each), and drinking 8 glasses of water daily. However, I'll go one step further to show you the best and quickest way to lose weight so that your entire system will achieve a balanced pH and not be depleted of the essential minerals that it needs. Here's why.
As the typical American diet is mainly acidic, except for most fruits and vegetables, it is close to impossible for our body to attain the alkaline levels that spells good health without the proper nutrients. This being the case, it is very difficult to lose weight unless you monitor closely your body's pH. Let me explain.
An acid pH has considerable influence over the majority of weight problems, including Diabetes and Obesity. It seems that a habitually acid pH can directly cause immediate weight gain. Here's what happens when a system is too acid. A condition known as Insulin Sensitivity or Syndrome X results, which forces too much insulin to be produced, and the body is flooded with insulin so that it won't waste any calories, it diligently converts every calorie it can into fat.
It is thought that an acid pH immediately signals the powerful genetic response to an impending famine, directly interacting with the all important and very sensitive, Insulin- Glucagons Axis. This makes the body produce more insulin than usual, and in turn, produce more fat and store it. In general, the more insulin is available to the body, the higher the probability that fat will be produced and stored, rather than used and burned as energy.
Thus, an acid pH will probably alert the genetic response to famine, directing more insulin to be produced and storing more fat than usual. Conversely, a healthy, slightly alkaline pH, will be more likely to yield normal fat burning metabolic activity, making no demands on the body to overly produce insulin and make fat, allowing fat-weight to be burned and naturally lost. And, with a healthy pH, there's less likely to be any yo-yo effect, or rebounding from a diet with additional weight gain. As long as nutritional stores are maintained, a healthy, slightly alkaline pH allows fat to burn normally for energy, rather than being hoarded under the mistaken biochemical belief of an impending famine.
The best way, though, to drink 8 glass of water daily is to mix it with Xtreme X2O, a natural and organic, coral calcium with 70 trace minerals, which transforms the pH of the water beverage to 9.9 (highly alkaline)!
You may ask why not just drink plain water? The answer is: When you drink lots of water, all of 8 glasses daily, it does not have the essential minerals (calcium, magnesium with 70 trace minerals) that your body needs to elevate its pH and therefore, alkalize your body as the pH of plain water is rather low and very acidic (pH < 7.0). "Alkalinity" equals Oxygen and Oxygen = Good Health.

If you would like to know what your pH level is, let me know. For more info, check this site:

Answer 3

I just lost 30 lbs on the Cambridge diet, which is much like Slimfast only cheaper and it's designed for long term use. I look and feel fantastic and like knowing that my body is receiving 100% of it's daily vitamins, minerals and trace elements. It's inexpensive too. No pills. It comes in the form of soups, shakes and oats (as oatmeal or to cook with). It's been around for over 30 years and is FDA approved.
Southbeach is also excellent. I wasn't losing weight at the rate I'd wanted though and just had a baby last year so my metabolism was "freaky slow" so Southbeach didn't work well for me. I tried Atkins and had immediate success with it, however, I'm hypoglycemic and found that my blood sugars were not well controlled. I felt sick the entire time I was on the diet. I'm just not a big meat eater either. I like a little, but prefer my veggies. Ultimately I chose Cambridge because #1- I could lose weight fast. I'm in impatient person and I need fast results to stick with anything. LOL! #2- I asked my doctor to research it and even though it's a low calorie diet she was impressed with the nutritional content and told me to "go for it" and #3- it's affordable. I'm a stay at home mom and we're a one income family. I needed something cheap. and finally #4- the Cambridge Diet has a strong support system to help you on your weight loss journey. They also have a "refeeding" program when you're ready to come off the diet to help ensure you do not gain the weight back and that you develop a new relationship with food.
Sorry, I'm a fan of Southbeach even though it didn't work for me. I'm a fan of Atkins for the people who like the foods it offers but I'm not a fan of Slimfast. I'd rather have Cambridge.

It's very simple. Expend more calories than you take in. South Beach, Atkins, Weight Watchers; it doesn't matter. They ALL come down to that same basic principal.

If you are running for an hour every day, then you clearly are getting plenty of exercise, so it's eating you need to look at. The common sense things are common sense for a reason-they work. Drink lots of water. Avoid soft drinks and caffienated beverages. Make the bulk of your diet fresh fruits and vegetables. You need to keep your protein up, with the level of exercise you are doing, so eat your meats (unless your a veg, then eat your legumes), but avoid sauces and things that will add fat. NO fried food. Sweets in moderation (maybe once a week).

Answer 5

Wish I could answer the above, as I am not familiar with any one of those mentioned.

Here's a great way to do it. Take vitamins every day but with food FIRST. Drink 10-12 glasses of WATER which flushes out the fat, and provides oxygen to the brain.

Eat a salad every day with fruits or veggies, or with chicken or shrimp (get the idea), and eliminate pasta, cereals, sweets, and you'll go girl.

WALK WALK WALK!
