I am no nutritional or diet expert, but from years of experience of yo-yo dieting and trying all these diets and many more, I have finally decided to just stick to the basics.
The basics being:
1. Moderate exercise three times a week;
2. Cut out on bad fatty foods (pizza, burgers, chips etc);
3. Consume good fatty foods (salmon, olive oil based foods or anything with Omega 3 oil);
4. Drink plenty of water per day;
5. Eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables (tip: good carbohydrates are in green veg);
6. Eat plenty of protein in chicken, fish, sea fish and eggs (tip: protein fills you up for longer)
7. Consume a limited amount of carbohydrate in brown rice, brown pasta, brown bread and potatoes.
So basically still eat the foods that you like but try to control your diet as above. You are more likely to stick to a diet when eating the foods you like and you don't have to go to specialty shops to by any expensive ingredients.
By sticking to the seven points above, will give you a weight loss of 1-2 lbs a week which is a good, strong steady and healthy weight loss. It might not be the fast weight loss for women (and men) diet you had in mind, but it will give you a quicker weight loss in the end because you are more likely to stick to it and keep it off.
