    I'll second everything said here. I started just about a month ago and have lost 12 pounds. I lost 2 pounds in the last two days because I'm having some kind of stomach issue and can't keep anything down. It got the scale moving, but I feel like crap. I haven't eaten much (what I have eaten I've thrown up), so yeah, I lost a couple more pounds, but I feel weak and tired. Not the way to do it. Going to the doctor today to see if it's a virus or something with my hiatal hernia. I want them to do something so I can eat again and get back to the gym. Not going today because I have zero energy from having very little food in me. So I'm walking testimony that starving yourself is NOT the way to do it. Yeah, you'll lose weight, but you'll feel like death warmed over in the process!

    I had the Vertical Sleeve surgery and I am down 120 lbs, people like to say that I took the "easy way out", but the truth is without changing MYSELF and my habits the surgery would not have worked. It has been an amazing tool, and has helped me to deal with my raging hunger so I am better able to stick to the plan, but I still have to be 100% responsible for what goes into my mouth and had to make a commitment to exercise and life style change! You are right, there is no magic bullet.

    I admit to trying a fad diet, and unsurprisingly, it didn't work. Yeah, I lost 40 lbs in 4 months, but I did gain half of it back. I went the low carb way and felt so deprived because my whole diet up until that point had been carbs. I didn't enjoy half the foods I was allowed to eat, and I was in the middle of a plateau anyway, so I gave up.

    Moral of the story, kids: Fad diets don't work!
