As I've mentioned on another thread, LA Weighloss program is a low fat, low carb program which works wonders for many people. I personally couldn't stick to it because I was only allowed 1 tsp. of oil per day aside from what was already in the meats, but for the 2 weeks that I've stuck to it, I lost 10 pounds. But then again, I've been on Atkins for 16 days and lost 11 pounds.

For the first 3 days, you're allowed unlimited meats except for pork, 2 eggs, and all the green veggies you can eat. You're also allowed to use unlimited amount of oil/butter for these 3 days. You must eat 2 oranges a day and drink at least 48oz. of water a day.

After that, you're allowed to have:
1 fat, 1 dairy, 1/4 tsp. Mortons lite salt & 64oz. or water a day plus:

for breakfast:
2 fruit
1 protein

for lunch:
1 protein
1 vegetable
1 fruit
1 starch

for dinner:
2 proteins
2 vegetables
1 starch

serving size for dairy:
skim milk 4 oz.
reduced fat cheese 1 oz.
non-fat yogurt 6 oz.

Fruits:
Apple 1 small
apricots 3 medium
blackberries 1/2 cup
blueberries 1/4 cup
cantaloupe 1/8 lg.
cherries 9 med.
cranberries 1 cup
grapefruit 1/2 med.
green grapes 10
honeydew 1/2 cup
kiwi 1 med.
lemon 1 small
lime 1 med.
Nectarine 1 med.
orange 1 small
papaya 1/2 cup
peach 1 small
fresh pineapple 3/4 cup
plum 1 med.
raspberries 1 cup
strawberries 12 small
tangerines 1 small
watermelon 1 cup

protein :
all meats (no beef or pork), 5 oz. before cooking

Three times a week, you can have in the place of dairy:
4 oz. cottage cheese

twice a week, but not 2 days in a row substitute for protein:
beef 3 1/2 oz.

once a week substitute for protein:
pork, tuna, or salmon, 5 oz. before cooking

You're allowed up to 6 whole eggs per week or 12 egg whites.

Vegetables:
any greeen vegetables count as 1 serving
others are 1/2 cup per serving

Starches:
diet bread 1 slice
melba toast (unseasoned) 2 slices
rice cake 1
bran 2 tbsp.

twice a week substitute for starch:
baked potato 1/2 small
brown rice 1/2 cup cooked
corn tortillas 1/2 6" diameter
no sugar cereal 1/2 cup
plan oatmeal 1/2 cup cooked

Once a week but not on the same day as beef or limited starches:
bagel 1/2 small
corn, peas, pasta, or white rice 1/2 cup cooked
Matzo 1/2
fat & sugar free ice cream 1/2
frozen yogurh, fat & sugar free 1/2 cup

I don't know if this will help or not, but one of my neighbors is on this program now, and she's lost a lot of weight.
