What's the best crash diet you've been successful with?

I totally know that "crash dieting" is seriously not healthy by slowing your metabolism, gaining weight back, being sleepy... but who has had results and is not going to give me negativity??

Has anyone stayed on a steady diet (ie: weight watchers, southbeach, slim-fast) the day after "crash dieting"? Did you still gain most of it back by still cutting out high cal, greasy foods?

I have a trip to florida in a month & a half and was considering the cabbage soup diet and on the 8th day the slim fast shake diet w/1 regular meal.

Input, please!

oh & by the way... i'm only 140lbs but am trying to fit back into my size 4 jeans and size small bikini... blame it on the b.c.! :)

and seriously, stop telling me to eat just fruits & veggies -- i eat them daily and it's still not working. along w/non fat milk, fat free yogurt & other products...

My diet was not a "crash diet" its a lifestyle I choose to live. I do serious weight training and exercise 3 days a week for 2 hours a day. I eat low fat (NOT FAT FREE or there is NO taste at all!!) and low salt and I use alot of vegies and salad stuff. I eat a lowfat lasagna made with oriental rice noodles instead of flour based lasagna noodles.
