I agree that Atkins is the best if you need to loose over 10lbs. But that shouldn't give you a license to eat all fat. I ate mostly chicken, fish, shrimp, lean meats, eggs and salads over 6 weeks and lost 30lbs. The best part is you never get "shakey" hungry because the protein diet controls your insulin levels. Later, you can just watch the carbs and it's easier to maintain a healthy weight.

One thing about Atkins is you should get a good fiber suppliment (eg. sugar-free metamucil) and drink lots of water. Without little carbs in your diet, you may have trouble getting the "train out of the station." That's no fun.

Also, I absolutely hate jogging but it's the most efficient way to burn calories, and keep your cardio system healthy.
