  1. those programs are only as good as your will is strong and your effort is driven if youre not truely motivated or have a weak will none will help as far as the best go,,,, i think theyre all crap
  2. they are very good in the sense that you don't have to think much about putting your week of food together and they're easy programs... but eventually you have to learn portion control on your own, if you don't make a lifestyle change the jenny craig is just a temporary fix
  3. They are temporary fixes. You should consider Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo's book Eat Right 4 Your blood Type as it is a nutrition plan that nourishes your blood which is your life source - by feeding your blood properly, you lose or gain or balance as your body needs.
  4. I think weight watchers is good, attending a class on a weekly basis gives you the motivation to stick to the diet, even better if you go with a friend, you are more likely to succeed because even if you don't feel like going you have the added incentive of not wanting to let your friend down
  5. those programs only take your money ... though they do work for a certain percentage of people,, you must stay on thier diet, which will suck your bank account dry,,, there are other methods , program you can go to.. such as a 12 step program C.E.A.H.O.W ,, look this up on yahoo search to find out what it means... this helps alot of peopl get on the right track without breaking the bank or breaking your spirit.. love yourself, you are beautiful no matter your apperance.
  6. They're only any good for fiddling at the edges when you want to loose a couple of pounds but are pretty ineffective for serious weight loss. Try Sureslim. Jules. Australia.
  7. You can use those programs for support if you like, but I would like to offer just a little advice. Everyone has offered you great advice and each person is correct. It is important to figure out what it is you want to acheive. Do you want weight loss, do want muscle, do you want to tone up certain areas. What my wife and I do if we can is to try to and walk 30 minutes a day and if everyday is not possible at least 3 days to start. Drink lots and lots of water. Not only does this full your brain into be full but it helps to cleanse your body, gives you great skin, and for those of you that have constipation it helps to keep you bowels moving more regularly. I am a person who loves to snack, but lucky for me I love fresh fruits and vegis. Try to eat low fat cookies and such, they actual taste pretty good. Never double portion. Eat smaller portions and if you want more get a little more. Try not to eat after 6PM, though tough to do because of get togethers and what not, do your best. eating before bed is not a good idea because when we sleep our bodies do not provide enough energy to help with digestion. If you must snack before bed try fruit, vegies, or a couple of low fat cookies. Counting calories is a good Idea, however you want to eat calories that count. Vegitables have very little in calories but are a great source of vitamins. It really is about portion size. If you were to do a program I would recommend weight watchers. Try it for a month the neat thing is is that they give you a points counter which can help you when shopping. I have kind of rambled on so do this. 30min walk 4 days a week. Lots of water. plenty of vegies if you can, smaller portions, EASY ON THE DESSERTS, try low fat or no fat ones, they really are not bad. No late night eating but if you must something healty and light, no steaks and potatoes. Ok then give it a try. If you have anymore questions help is just a keyboard away. And remember you have to find what works for you.
