I don’t know about the 18 in 4 diet plan, but:

Try the Souper Soup Diet (a version of the Cabbage Soup Diet) at lillieross.com. You can sign up to receive the diet for free & they will also email you diet tips Tu-F each week. This diet really works…I have used it several times; especially when I wanted to lose fast. In fact, I’m on it now and have lost 12 lbs since last Monday.

Or

Try the Fiber One Diet:
1 bowl of Fiber One cereal 3 x day (breakfast, lunch & dinner) with skim milk (I use fat free Lactaid)
1 tv dinner (400 calories or less) for dinner
Drink 64 ozs water (drink plenty water or the fiber will constipate you)
Exercise 30 minutes each day
Note: This diet keeps you very regular (bms)

GOOD LUCK!

You have a reasonable plan so far as time and weight loss are concerned but the diet is not so good. If you can do so,consult with your family health care provider about diet. If not..well, you need protein in your diet and a certain amount of carbohydrates as well as a little healthy fat because you do not only want to get thinner, but to stay healthy while you do it.

Baked beans, peanuts ( a small handful of them a day), turkey, fish and chicken are all good sources of protein that should fit into your diet. The fish can be canned, frozen or fresh as you prefer but fresh is best and you should not eat more than one small tin of tuna..or the same weight fresh, per week.

Dry fry food in a good non-stick frying pan, or if you need a little oil then make sure it is a little..half a teaspoon in the bottom of the pan. No sausages or fast foods,soda or candy..if you like these things then it is easier to give them up than to try to limit yourself to tiny quantities of them as treats. One of my favourite substitutes for chinese, when other people in the house are ordering out, is a dish of white or basmatti rice with prawns or shrimps and a good helping of thawed frozen peas..warm the prawns and peas up gently, they are already cooked, and then stir them into the rice with a splash of soy sauce to finish..it is delicious, easy and fat free…besides having good amounts of carbs, fibre and protein in it.

You will find that the longer you go without eating sweet food, the less you enjoy the taste of sugary things.

Mushrooms and beansprouts, kiwi fruit and pomegranates are all exceptionally good for you, peas are close and raw cabbage and onion..in a coleslaw with low caloried dressing perhaps..are good for asthmatics..which, by the way, citrus fruits are not.

There is no way of dieting for one particular area of the body but the Tony Little “Gazelle” can work wanders on your stomach, hips and thighs in just fifteen minutes a day..which you work up to..and with very little strain or effort. You can often get one second hand for a good price on Ebay or elsewhere and if you have no problems with your back or hips.it is the gentlest way I know of for taking off the inches even if you do not go at it like a maniac. You can use it at a gentle swinging pace and still benefit so there is no need to get breathless.

Swimming is the best overall exercise anyone can do, so if you can and do swim then try to spend a routine amount of time in the water a routine number of times a week. Again, no need to break any records..by allowing yourself more than a year to reach your target weight you have given yourself the best chance of doing so and of keeping the weight off which most dieters do not achieve because they have not actually changed their daily routines over the long term but only modified them radically for a short time.

So..a little more variety than just salads..and if you get hungry between meals, have a cup of soup, and if you get desperate for some candy then make it sugar free gum or mints. Take care and the best of luck.

P.s. Ab crunches..great for building muscle, but once you have converted fat into muscle it is much harder to lose.

I don’t have a diet plan, just a few suggestions that might help along the way.

To divide it into two can I separate [A] “good diet” and [B] “eating what is not good”. One of these must overcome the other, but not as a battle. You clearly want [A] and rid of [B]. And it is very hard, isn’t it?

I don’t have a weight problem, but found out I had hypoglycemia, so no surprise a complete chocolate head [or cream, biscuits, etc]. So, [B] was winning at that point. Now, I’m happy to say, [A] is winning.

Cook your own foods. As in “from scratch”. Not absoluteley everything, but make your own bread, batch-cook chillis or curries – crammed with different veggies, low meat content – and portion & freeze them, etc. Make it darn tasty too, so you can’t wait to eat it! These things aren’t fattening if they’re not made fattening. This is a way of REALLY taking control of your own diet.

Buy a rice cooker and some good rice. Rice in your diet is a good thing, gets rid of toxins too. Once you find a rice you love shop around for 5kg or 10kg bags and save loads of money.

Best wishes!
