don't do the liquid diet!!! Just eat healthier! You don't want to get sucked into the world of eating disorders like I was, and anyway, you won't lose proper weight, it'll just be water which you'll gain back when you start eating again.

the raw food diet won't do much for you because you're going to deprive yourself of a lot of nutrients and just muck up a ton of things.

I wouldn't try it....3 days to loose a lot of weight just wont be affective...i think it would be better to loose weight gradually because it's healthier and the results last longer than loosing it in 3 days...u'll just gain it back

Dieting isn't necessarily the answer. Some people diet and then gain the weight right back. The best way to lose weight is to drink a lot of water, do some kind of physical exericse everyday and eat a good, balanced diet. I don't mean to sound like one of those health physician people telling you to look at the food pyramid because I can't stand that thing, but just think about what you need to eat and do to stay healthy. People, as a whole, know when they are eating things that aren't healthy. If you are someone who does not exercise at all, you don't need to eat as many carbs. Before going on a possibly hazardous diet, maybe you should see a nutritionist in order to find out some good tips of things to eat and how to stay in good health and feel good about yourself. Defintely do not resort to not eating at all because believe it or not, you will start eating again sometime and when you do, you will gain the weight right back because your metabolism won't be as fast anymore.

I would never use diet pills because I think that's like saying "I can't control my eating and I'm too lazy to exercise so I have take medication"

If you're thinking of trying diet pills, FORGET IT. Not only do they not work too well, once you stop you gain the weight right back (If you lost any that is). Diet pills also mess up your electolytes, which, if serious enough, can cause shock or coma. I'm not trying to sound over-worrisome but-DON'T DO DIET PILLS.

All those diets are a scam. I have tried everything and the best way to lose weight is diet and exercise.

Why would you even try the 3 day diet? You'll just gain it back once that time is up.

You shouldn't look towards diet pills or just diets because once you stop you will gain all the weight back. What is important is that you change the way you eat for life.

I agree with Marie. Vegan also means not buying products from companies that test on animals and not buying products such as wool/silk/honey/leather/etc. I've been vegan for a while, and I've seen people try doing it just to lose weight, then they go back to their normal diets and gain everything back. So, only go vegan if you plan to stay vegan.
