Answer

i lost 43 pounds by doing jenny craige and using a 2 mile walking tape i did the tape 4 times a week and no matter what 1 day a week i ate anything i wanted and it only took me 8 weeks but, the food was expensive but it was so worth it. everything else failed but this worked all you have to do is try 1 week and you will drop a few lbs. Have to be honest the first week is the hardest after that it does get addictive because the weight comes off so quick and you can splurge 1 day a week and you still lose.

Answer

The best and most long-term weight loss can be achieved by following a low glycemic index (GI) pattern of eating. This isn't just another diet, but a scientific and safe way to keep blood sugars and thus weight stable. You learn how to eat foods that will not produce spikes in blood sugars that cause you to store fat, release too much insulin and feel hungry more often. When combined with an exercise routine - short sessions being better than long ones - it can significantly reduce weight. It also will decrease the chances of pre-diabetes turning to diabetes as the pancreas is not stressed. The Related Links below gives some information on low GI eating.

I have found the medifast diet to be amazing. i lost a lot of weight safely.
