Fad diets and gimmicks don't work. The only way to lose weight is to burn more than you consume! Keeping well hydrated and eating 5-6 smaller meals a day is much more beneficial to you than 3 meals a day.
You also should do intense cardio at least 4 times a week and add in strength training/weights into your routine as well. The weights help build muscle which is way better than fat!
Give up sugar laden sodas and at the very least drink diet. Drink at least 8 huge glasses of water a day!
Sometimes a personal trainer can be beneficial as well. They have great ideas on how to break each plateau that you hit. They can be pricey though.
Talk to a nutritionist if possible about foods to eat that can help you lose weight.
It's not about willpower it's about lifestyle changes that you can live with forever. That's the bad thing about diets per se.......once you lose some weight and you haven't changed all of your lifestyle it comes right back on!
I also second the sparkpeople website on the 1st page of this thread! It is wonderful and they even have a lot of fast food stuff and it's calories on there. It finds out how much you want to lose and by when and then calculates how many calories you should eat each day. You can track the calories and the water and the exercise. I lost 4 pounds just using that website!
