A lot of you are talking about cutting your carbs and sugars to lose the weight .. aka the atkins diet .. be VERY careful with this approach .. in fact, it's not recommended to follow this diet for more than one month.

A personal experience w/ the atkins diet .. my dad was on this diet for over 6 months and one day passed out @ breakfast .. was rushed to the emergency room and passed out 5 more times while @ the hospital .. he was transferred to the CCU and again passed out .. it turns out each time he was 'passing out', he in fact was flat lining .. the stress of the diet had shifted his electric impulses which regulate his heart beat and his body was shutting down/dying. As a result, he needed to have a permanent pacemaker implanted .. now understand, my dad was in good shape .. nonsmoker .. no clogged arteries .. nothing. The reason why he originally got on this diet was because he suffered from slightly high cholesterol .. and believe it or not, eating steaks, cheeses, tons of protein, etc. but NO carbs, as the atkin diet requires, had in fact lowered his cholesterol ..

In the end .. eating foods low in fat .. eating in moderation .. and exercising is the only safe way to loose weight ... there aren't any magic ways to loose weight fast .. especially without risking your health.
