Does anyone know a good diet that i (an 18 yr old ...

the atkins diet works i went on it when i was your age and lost 60 lbs but you have to stick to it to the letter, dont cheat or it absolutely does not work. once you get to your goal weight go by the book and youll stay at your goal weight. no matter what anyone tempts you with do not cheat.

I would recommend following a Clean Eating Diet, which emphasizes whole, unprocessed foods, a good mix of carbs, lean protein and healthy fats and aims for maximum nutritional density. This is far superior to most "fad diets" out there and is one of the only tried-and-true diets that not only help you lose body fat, but also preserve lean tissue (i.e. "muscle"), reduce the risk of certain diseases as you get older and keep you healthy and energized.

At the site http://cateringtoyourhealth.blogspot.com/ you will find tips about dieting and weight loss management. Useful detailed info. Check it out.

There are a whole heap of diets you could use to lose 20 pounds of weight. The question is; do you want to lose the weight permanently or are you happy to pile it back on again?

If permanent, long term weight loss is your goal, in my opinion there is no better diet than the one reviewed here - Strip That Fat Diet Review

The great thing about this diet is it compiles a daily food menu for you based on your food selection which helps you stick with it long term. It also isn't drastic like so many fad diets out there - you will be consistently losing 2lbs of fat (notice I say fat!) each and every week.
