    Sparex, In general, loosing weight is difficult, and takes time. Diets don't work, long term (for lifetime), and can be discouraging, frustrating, and unproductive. Sure, you might loose some weight for 6 months, or a year--but diets eventually stop working because loosing weight is more than just what you eat. It's also emotional, and psychological. Seriously, it is best to examine why you eat, when, where, how, and so on. You are not heavier than you like for no reason. You know what kind of food to eat...it's why you don't do it that needs addressed. So, buy Dr. Phil's book, and get serious about loosing weight. The diet industry is a 4 billion dollars per year industry. Most of that money is from repeat buyers. Diets have only a 5% success rate. That means that 95% of dieters fail. Doesn't that stink?! So, unfortunately, your desire for quick answers will get you no where...instant gratification is not the way to loose weight. Instead of feeling desperate, buy the book, so that you can begin to understand why you need to loose weight in the first place, how you can start doing it, and keep it off for a lifetime. Forget Adkins, and any other "diet"...unless you just want a quick fix. But, I'm sure you're more serious than that. Good luck, Jerrycat ;)
