If you want to lose quickly, here's a combo of diets I tried after I had my daughter, and believe me, you'll see results.

Take the lemon diet (2 table spoons fresh squeezed lemon, 2 table spoons maple syrup and a touch of cayenne pepper mixed with about 500 ml water) the banana diet and the Atkins and you have a winner.

Have green tea, without sugar, and a banana for breakfast. The banana helps to regulate your blood sugar do you don't get the headaches,etc that is associated with not eating. Start drinking the lemon mix. Amazingly it takes cares of hunger cramps.

For lunch I used to have a bit of protein (because I continued light exercise), either half a can of tuna with with tomato and cucumber or a piece of skinless chicken with lettuce and tomato. No condiments! Salad dressing is allowed. I took a digestive enzyme prior to eating and my multi-vitamin afterward.

Try and drink some water during the day as well in-between the lemon drink as it will make your throat quite dry.

Have another banana approximately 4-5 o'clock.

On your first night you will be famished, so allow yourself a half cup of brown rice. Remember never to eat later than 8 p.m. so your food can digest. After that don't eat at night, or eat a cup of any vegetable (except for potatoes) or some fruit of your choice. Do not add butter or sauce your veggies, salt and pepper is allowed.

Keep in mind that I exercised and took my vitamins and did not consume any alcohol or dairy. Once a week I would allow myself some pasta or rice.
