I have a friend who recently decided to diet at 240 pounds. So, my ex-brother in-law is on a diet too. So my friend decided to try my ex-brother in-laws diet, and lost 12 pounds in 1 week. I am amazed how this diet has worked. The key to this is less carbs I was told. Everything they buy at the store has been baught according to the carbs. Close to your age and height as well. The key they said is not to eat more than 2 carbs per serving, which according to them is considered per meal. Never realized this before, but, I am amazed at the carbs in all drink and foods I hadn't suspected. Well, if you want to try this type of diet for 1 week, it may help you. Good luck mega:)
