slimfast works with teaching you to eat better while making you lose about 1-2 pounds a week. i know that the atkins works well and fast because my mom is on it- but i don't think it really teaches you anyhting about long-term eating habits. the south beach diet is way to strict for any teenager in my opinion. i know from experience slimfast works so that's the one that gets my vote! i couldn't live without sweets and that's how you're gonna on the south beach and atkins diets...

How much did you weigh before you started slim fast? Also how tall are you? What were your eating habits before you started slim fast. I dont really have that bad eating habits...i actually eat fairly light so if eel like if i go onto slim fast i will gain weight because i looked at the normal diet and its more then i usually eat, i am also not that overweight i just want to lose about 15 pounds ( I weigh 130 and i am 5'5)Do you think maybe if i substitute two meals for the shakes and then have a small salad with half a piece of chicken that would be good?Or do you think there is a seperate diet that would be better for me. I want to lose 15 pounds by june and 10 pounds by may 16...is this possible?

Atkins diet is not good for your health at all you cant cut out carbs you'll have very little energy.From my experience slimfast is best im on it now and i lose 2 pounds or more every week.I lost 13 pounds so far and its only been 1 month
