Today is Friday and I've been having a difficult week...and overall a difficul time losing weight. First of all, I ate half of a Carrot Cake....but was on plan prior to that eating Whitecastle Pie...but that seemed to be a lot of calories...and cheese!

When I was on Atkins I stuck to it but I was tired all of the time and I was eating a lot of fat, but especially a lost of cheese.... I've been reading a lot of diets on this forum trying to figure out just what is right for me... I like CAD and lost initially 5 pounds, but nothing after that. Then I started cycling and kept gaining and losing the same 5 pounds... Then went to South Beach and lost that 5 pounds in a two week period and nothing since....that was around August 9th...

Based on what I know for sure, I know that when I switch diets I lose weight initially that week but afterwards nothing. So that is telling me that I need to switch things up to continue losing, however, that could simply mean adding in some good carbs and not switching plans...

Plans that I am considering are Eat Fat Get Thin, Barry Groves, and Suzanne Sommers, Sommercize Program....

Today Fawn suggested that following these guidelines would result in a good weight loss program....

[COLOR=red]A solid weight loss plan that most will not have any problems losing on would include:[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]animal proteins including eggs and fish[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]coconut oil[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]olive oil[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]butter[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]vegetables all other than root veggies and corn[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]avocado[/COLOR]

[COLOR=red]Now that's pretty boring but it's a guaranteed weight loss plan.[/COLOR]
