I suggest talking to your Dr about what diet he or she would recommend. If you prefer one over another still talk to them about it. They can advise you the best way to follow the diet without harming yourself.

My mother's Dr worked with her on the Atkins diet. She did very well to begin with. After a while though she stopped loosing. Partly because she would cheat. She didn't inform her Dr of this either. She put herself back on the induction part of the diet and stayed there. She'd cheat so she'd go back to practically NO carbs whatsoever. Eventually she was having lots of trouble. She got Gout and because gaining the weight back. She's now heavier than she was before.

No matter what diet you choose you need to be armed with information. Follow the diet the right way. Involve your Dr too.

Growing up we lived next to a family who's mother was as wide as two folding chairs. She went on Weight Watchers and was so very faithful. It was the best impression I had of any diet. She probably weighed well over 300 lbs and she dropped to around 200 lbs. It took her a long time but she looked so much more healthy at that point. She had fewer health problems overall.

Personally I wouldn't go for a fad diet. They don't have a track record. Things like Weight Watchers have been around long enough to have proof of their effectiveness and proof that they aren't harmful in any way.
