maybe you'll know this, maybe not but yah
Hey, I want to do the carb diet later on in the year because I want to lose weight for my vacation in June, and school in August. I have done the carb diet before, and I hated it but after a week or two I get used to it. Anyway, have you seen that commerical for One-a-day Carb Smart? It says it has more biotin(sp?) to break down all the fats and protiens. Well do you know if it works? Oh and I'm going to exercise every day when I'm on the diet but should I run or walk? Because my metabolism slows down like a lot so I guess I dont have much energy. Oh and what are some bad things about the diet? I know the good already-you lose like 10 lbs in one week! Thanks for reading!! -sherry

Maybe give some free advice about: Nutrition?
Anything that promises to lose 10 pounds in a week is likely not healthy for you. Weight loss should be gradual - sudden losses in weight are inherenlty unhealthy and often very taxing on your immune system. I'd not worry about "fad" diets - just look at caloric intake, sugar (carb) intake, and fat intake and try your best to keep them balanced. Eliminate sugary snaks and caffinated pop. Get an exercise routine and try your best to stick with it - even if you set it up where every night before you go to bed you just do simple things like 2 x 20 sit-ups, 2 x 20 pushups, 2 x 20 jumping jacks, etc... you might try to jog/run when the weather permits, or ride a bike, or use a treadmill if you have access to one. Don't rely on diet to fix things. Diet and exercise, and you making a commitement to yourself, are the best way to go about this. Why people keep going to these "extreme" diets, I'll never know - all-or-none philosophy rarely works - moderation generally always works, yet people keep ignoring that fact. Oh well.
