Please give advise on the diet that worked best for you. There are so many different things out there. I am trying to lose 45 lbs. Six kids has really taken a toll on my body. I am 33 and my metabolism is obviously slowing down. Losing lbs is not as easy for me as it used to be! It really sucks! I have been walking and joined a gym, but now I really need a meal plan that will not make me miserable or broke, but at the same time, actually works!

Wow, 6 kids at the age of 33? Kudos to you for finding the time to take care of your weight before it gets out of hand. I could probably stand to lose 45 pounds (I'm about your age) and I don't even have kids to blame for my weight gain ;-)
I would recommend Weight Watchers. It's the only thing that has worked for me, though I've fallen off the wagon after an extremely stressful year. However, several years ago I lost 40-45 pounds on WW and made "lifetime membership".
The thing I like about WW is that you get to eat whatever you want, just in moderation. Each food is assigned points. You can figure out the points with a little cardboard chart or online - it's just based on calories, fat, and fiber.
I do not recommend any diet that isn't reflective of how you'll eat when you reach your goal. With WW, you'll learn to eat anything you want in moderation, making trade offs as you see fit (no fatty macaroni salad because you're saving points for dessert, for example). A "grapefruit diet" or "no carb" diet might help you lose weight, but are you going to keep eating that way forever? If not, you'll gain it back.

Eat nourishing meals with lots of clean culmination and veggies being facet of it. Chew every morsel no less than 32 instances. This will turn on sign to the mind as quickly as u have had ample. Besides this difference in consuming form, take steady gentle sports and brisk walks everyday. U can be ready to obtain/shed all further weight gracefully and in a fair time span. No meals or drink in among the meals and no more than 3 foods an afternoon, until u r diabetic.

Atkins worked great for me. I lost a lot of weight. I felt wonderful. My cholesterol, sugar, and blood pressure were superb. The only problem is that as soon as I got off of it I gained it all (and more) back.
If you can hack never eating bread or sugar again, this diet will work, but I was just too weak. Plus, I couldn't have beer.

Weight Watchers is great. Try their core plan. It's great and if you follow it, you will learn to eat healthy the rest of your life- not "diet".
