Adkins is probably your best bet. Knock off white flour, white sugar and other sweets including fruit. Drink 8 eight oz. glasses of water per day. If you can, walk as much as you can. Joe

there is a diet that is given to patients who are going to have heart bypass. It guarantees you to lose 56 lbs in 2 1/2 months. Its very similar to the atkins diet the key to it is drinking at least 3 glasses of grape fruit juice a day. Again staying away from bread and other carbs and plenty of meat. If you would like the full detail of the diet feel free to send me an email. would be more than glad to share it with ya. Best of luck!
