find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
dont try to lose more than 1-2lbs a week - its not healthy to lose more.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried - no junk food.

I found the book to be very informative and easy to read.
I've lost 17 pounds in 12 days, I'm just concerned that I'm losing too much weight, too quickly. I will admit I haven't followed the guide exactly. I'm not sticking perfectly to the listed foods and meal plans (but mostly) and doing very little exercise, but the weight keeps flying off.
It clearly works and if I'd followed it exactly I think it would scare the living daylights out of me because of the amount that I'd lose. So thanks again for the information. I've never purchased anything like this before because they are usually full of trash, but 3WD has been a pleasant surprise.
Get started today!

Here is a place that reviews a bunch of weight loss programs, dieting aides, supplements and so on. The site even has categories like diabetes, low fat and hypnosis. Pretty cool site.
http://www.reviewplace.com/cat-135-DietsWeightLoss--Top-10-Weight-Loss-Programs.html
Many of the products and programs listed have consumer reviews, so you can read what others think before you make any purchases.
Hope this helps!

Here are some tips that may help you in your quest to lost some weight. Remember to always visit a health professional to confirm your diet plan before starting out on any regimen and always ensure that you are getting adequate nutrition while dieting.
Steps
Drink lots of water during the day. Maybe 4-6 bottles (one bottle is usually 2 servings). Water is good for everything - your skin, your body and for giving you a sense of being full for a short period of time.
Find foods that have less calories and lots of nutrition. Vegetables, fruit, grains and lean meats are always good choices. Speak with your nutritionist, general doctor or other health professional for ideas that suit you the best.
Eat the foods you have selected, plan ahead if possible. Do not skip meals (see reasons below). A plan makes sticking to a diet much easier, especially if you have a busy life and tend to "eat on the run" and grab anything at hand.
Decide on what method of eating suits your needs best. Eat "normally" with three usual-sized meal portions if you like consistency and have the ability to sit down at a table three times a day. Or, you could try eating a full breakfast, then eating several small snacks the rest of the day (known as "grazing). Ask a nutritionist or health professional to advise you on which method is best for your needs.
Brush your teeth early so that you won't be as tempted to eat anything else at night. If you must nibble, have small slices of apple, carrot sticks or similar until your body learns to not crave food later at night.
Exercise. Always include exercise as part of any diet. Exercise is the part that firms and tones you; it is also the part that helps to ensure that your metabolism can cope with the dietary changes.
Think lifestyle eating. Diets come to an end, which is a good thing because we should not spend out life feeling "deprived". Instead, once you have reached your goal, focus on good eating habits and exercise as part of your lifestyle. Lifestyle eating is about embracing a permanent change in the way you eat and the things you eat and keeping this up. Done properly, it will usually eliminate the need for dieting again.
Tips
If you feel yourself getting hungry before dinner, try drinking a bottle of water or green tea. This should fill you up and stave off hunger pangs a little longer.
If you start to crave something sweet and sugary, try chewing a piece of gum. Sugar-free is best. You can also try brushing your teeth. The minty flavor of the toothpaste will help curb the craving and get rid of that sweet tooth.
It is generally not advisable to lose more than 2 pounds per week. Or 8 pounds per month.
For many people, it is good to eat a larger breakfast, a decent lunch and a small dinner. This will depend on your lifestyle needs, however. Check with a health professional for more advice.
You can control the portions by measuring your meals for the day.
Warnings
Don't be too obsessed over this. People will start to worry about you and your health.
Do not skip meals; you will upset your metabolism and eventually this will make it harder to lose weight. Also, skipping meals encourges your body to go into "storage mode" and you will keep weight in areas such as your stomach.
Don't avoid eating althogether. If you do this, you will starve your body of its fuel and cause damage to your organs and bodily functions.
If you are trying to lose more than 20% of your body weight, it is best to consult your physician or a specialist about how to do so in a healthy way, and keep the weight off.
Mind what you eat: you wouldn't run your car on empty, so don't be afraid to eat. And make it quality fuel, not the poor stuff!

Wow sorry - not many diet products work. THey are all filled with a lot of caffeine or junk. The popular "hoodia" don't contain the real thing, if they did it would be very expensive. Maybe try Lean Cuisine meals, I don't like a lot of them though. Do you jump rope? I tell everyone that REALLY helps a lot. Tones every muscle in your body. There is no magic pill - I have tried a ton of them. Gained it back as soon as I stopped taking them. I went the fruits/veggies/exercise route and it worked for good.
