The current issue of Prevention magazine has a great article about finding the right eating plan for YOU. The article says that all the popular diets really do work --- for somebody, but not necessarily everybody. We are all different and have different dietary needs. I have to have protein & fat to maintain my weight. I do not do well on the high-carb low-fat plan. But others do, so just remember everyone's mileage varies.

Talk to your doctor and see if you can get hooked up with a nutritionist and/or personal trainer who can help you put together a diet and exercise plan that will work for YOU. I know a lot or people are able to lowe weight without exercise - but exercise really is important to keep from losing too much muscle as you lose weight. Plus it just plain makes you feel good!

Good Luck!
