No matter how you slice it - the one thing that all diets have that work - everything from Atkins to South Beach -- is calorie reduction. All these"diets"are just tricks to get you to eat less. Sure, the Atkins has a metabolic effect by lowering carb intake, but everyone I know who has tried Atkins has ALSO reduced their calories (even if they didn't do it consciously). They find themselves ordering the steak dinner at a restaurant and discarding the baked potato. Well, that jumbo backed potato has several hundred calories. If you eat your steak, green vegetable, and a soup, but skipped the potato - what have you done? Reduced calories!With all these juice diets and soup diets -- weight watchers -- and all the rest -- add them up! People doing these things are eating less!People! Eat less and eat right! That's the way to do it. Don't do Atkins or juice diets. Don't starve yourself. Take in 500 calories a day less than you burn, and you WILL lose weight.

I'm guessing you don't really want answers??? That was more of a speech than a question.

Every diet recommends drinking more water, usually around 8 glasses a day. Exercise is a great way to burn calories. Plus it feels good, and the more muscle you have on your body, the faster your metabolism. Make Better Food Choices. Replace the empty calorie foods with ones that are high in nutrients that your body needs. Most diets have you reducing the amount of fat (especially 'bad' fat) and increasing fiber from foods such as fruits & vegetables.

I think the answer to that is the willingness and determination of the person doing the diet. So basically it is not the kind of diet itself that matters.
