It’s been 3 years since I’ve lost the 25 pounds that were really hurting my self esteem (I’m a female college senior now, am 5’5’’and weigh 130). I lost the weight over a 5 month period, almost entirely by switching from sodas and juices (very high in calories and carbs) to water and coffee. But I found that while I was losing fat, I would feel weak and constantly be hungry. Adding a lot of milk to my diet changed this (high protein, low fat and calories). I soon became sick of skim milk, which was too watery, but was afraid whole milk would put my weight back on. While visiting my sister in Boston I stopped by a Garelick Farm’s promotional event (I always go for free samples) and got hooked on Over the Moon Milk. It tastes exactly like 2% and Whole milk but has the same calories and fat as skim milk (and much higher protein). So my advice is, get rid of empty liquid calories from juice, sodas and alcohols, but keep milk to sustain muscle mass and avoid hunger. Of course, working out could never hurt either, but it’s often too hard to find the time. If anyone has any feedback on this strategy, let me know.

Not sure about that there milk diet thingy, but if you want to try a better milk for a diet then I suggest soy milk. Not the best taste in the world, but you could always add some kind of fruit to it and blend it like banana's.
If your on a low fat/calorie diet and not losing weight then may I suggest changing your diet. By the way I would look into low fat foods if I were you, they are not all that they seem.
And yes you have heard it before, but drink all the water you can which helps to flush your system and if you are on a diet that uses supplements to break down fat cells quickly the water will flush these out of your body faster too. 2L a day, but make sure that you are not retaining the water. If you are then drink more til you are visiting the toilet very very often.

Switching from sodas to juices is a good idea, but still tons of carbs. I delute mine with water... Also, milk - I wouldn't go for that because of all the saturated fat

Well Daisy,
this seems to be not having regularity in one change pattern to others. i am agree you lose weight in excess amount that proved to be beneficial for you. but changing your diet from soda to juecises does not make much sense. you need to concentrate on always on balanced food, that not make you in the grip of addiction for particular food or somthing else.
motivatrion in this regard is mendatory if you are chnaging things contineously, it really not gone be help you in any way. last week i visited an informative site
http://www.slimtour.com that describe a lot of thing on weight loss, tips,diet pills informtion and a lot more.
i think study of this might help you in your concern.
