Fad Diets - Do they work?

Like most Americans, I have had my fair share of bad eating habits over the years, especially while in college. In an attempt to lose weight, I have tried a couple of diets - mainly Adkins. Today, there are a lot of diets. Seems like everyone knows how to lose weight. It has turned into a multi-billion dollar industry, made worse by Hollywood and the Hollywood image.

My question is: Which fad diet is the best? Is there a true universal "best" diet that always works.

My experience with the Adkins Diet was double-sided. That is, good and bad. I lost the weight - in my case 15 pounds in 2 weeks. However, I did gain it back a few months later when I got off the diet. A few months after that I was diagnosed with Gall Stones. My doctor sent me to a surgeon for his opinion. I GUESS THE SURGEON HAD HIS CAR PAYMENT OVERDUE, SINCE HE SAID "YOU NEED SURGERY" WITHOUT EVEN CHECKING ME FIRST! :)

But I know other people who have struggled to lose weight with the Adkins Diet. Some prefer the South Beach Diet or the Weight Watchers program. In reality, all require a lifestyle change. It is really up to the individual to determine which plan works best for him/her. Comments anyone? please share.

All I know is that I have had a bad liver for years (blog on this to come soon). As soon as I started my latest weight loss program the liver enzymes are back to normal. Find out how I did it, in my "curing fatty liver" blog to come soon. The way I see it, the more food you put into your body and the less you take out, that equals weight gain.

This blog space is dedicated to the Ipod Gadgets. Specifically I would like to tell you the little I know about the items I have: the IPod Video and the IPod Shuffle. Well, my wife uses the ipod shuffle and I get the IPod Video. We purchased the IPod video from COSTCO for about $298. It is the 30GByte version, black. About 3 months later, we bought the Shuffle for $79 from the Apple Store at International Plaza Mall in Tampa, FL.

Shortly after this I found out that the Ipod industry is a multi-billion dollar industry. You can get anything for these things - from chargers, to FM transmitters, to stereo speakers. These items can be purchased directly from the Apple store, from the apple website, or from retailers everywhere. For example, I bought a FM tranmitter and an armband from Marshalls and a Tape adapter from Wal-Mart. These stores have accesories at very reasonable prices.
