What kinds of diets did you try

[NewAshes 232]

Just curious

[SpaceDust 585]

The big ones I tried:

Atkins, South Beach, Mediterranean, Weight Watchers, the mayo Clinic diet, and a variety of diets that have fallen out of favor. I've also done liquid diets, taken diet pills, juiced...

Low carb high Protein types of diets have worked pretty well for me in taking the weight off, but I end up at a plateau where even moving a pound off is difficult, and it becomes pretty hard for me to keep the weight off over time.

Think my doctor will deny me for not trying Akins? I've done pills, weight watchers,south beach, low carbs,low calorie, and sensa

[SpaceDust 585]

I doubt that would be reason for denial. They want people to have made multiple attempts at losing, it's not really a question of what you've tried. Besides, all Atkins really is is another high Protein, low carb diet. Sounds like you've already done similar, since South Beach is a bit like that, too.

Easier if I just tell you the ones I haven't tried. There are none

Haha!! Ditto to that

I still have nightmares of the Tomato and cabbage Soup diet that my mom was on when I was growing up. (The smell ahhh) I have tried them all lost weight and gained it all back. Atkins (which I did) is now not so popular due to the high fat part - cardiologists are not pro Atkins.

Weight watchers, Atkins, southbeach, 14 day diet, Physician's weight loss center (got phentermine from this place), Deal a Meal... uh let's see.. Oh I went to a community group that was similar to weight watchers, also I went to two different weight loss centers where they basically charge you an arm and a leg and they weigh you three times a week and pretty much bully you into losing weight.

I love the above quote....cracked me up! Every diet known to man-kind! Silly me, all I needed was to have 75% of my stomach removed---duh!!

Any of you try xenical? My grandma got a huge bottle of it and we both tried it and omg those pills made you poop your self..wasn't poop though it was the fatty oil. My uncle ate a huge meal after and had a meeting and during the meeting he leaked oil everywhere LOL I stopped trying pills after xenical

Yep! When they first came out in 2000, I tried them for about a month (it was all I could afford, since insurance didn't cover em!). Yep, yellow, oily stuff. Yuck. The OTC version (same drug, Orlistat) is called Alli. It has about 25% of the RX version. Sposed to make you poop out the fat instead of absorbing it into your gut.

You'd think out of something on this earth, something short of surgery would actually work. Thats what we all think, that is. Why American spend over a billion $ a year trying to lose weight. I've heard that 95% of people fail. Thats alot.

Thank God for WLS!!!
