Andy Leeks, at 101 kgs, decided to lose weight when people at work started calling him 'Big Man'.

His overweight exceeded his 1.8 meters height for 3 times. He tried and failed to lose kgs in the last three years.  Leeks asked himself why he was unable to lose weight and finally found the answer-boredom. So he started to try different diets with enthusiasm and managed to try the ten during 50 days. He started to try the diets in order and chose 5:2 for the first time, then Special K and so on.

''I lost 2,2 kgs during the first diet in five days. During the second one I lost 2,2 kgs too, but when passed to the juice diet, it was a real nightmare for me, as all the juices had to be made fresh and took ages to prepare,'' Leeks told The Daily Mail.

He had to lug the required 3kg of fruit and veg into the office every day - fortunately his very understanding boss let him work from home that week. And during that diet Leeks lost 1,8 kgs. The one with  plenty of whole grains, lots of vegetables and fruit, some meat and fish and not too much sugar was the best diet for Leeks. The other diets helped him lose 0,4 kgs each.

Leeks says for the first time in years he has managed to diet for more than a couple of weeks and lost 11 kgs due to it. His wife had to bear his changing moods during the whole time. He also mentions that people who want to lose weight should avoid weighing themselves regularly as it has a bad psychological impact on the process.

It should be noted that Andy's book Minimize Me - 10 Diets To Lose 25 lb In 50 Days is available to download on Amazon.
