What do you guys think about Dr. Phil and his weight loss solutions?
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Holy shyt, it's Suicide Boy. 
I'm glad you're still with us, buddy. I'm not sure about Dr. Phils weight loss advice, but I'm genuinely glad to see that you're still part of this world.

Atkins all the way. I'm losing 3 - 5 pounds a week and eating close to 3000 cal. a day.

I suggest using Dr. Phil's methods while doing the South Beach diet. It's easier and more healthy than Atkins and you get the same results.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Uhhh, Dr. Phil isn't exactly slim.
And Atkins isn't safe?
Please explain?

Phil was a college football linebacker, there's no way that he would be slim. Plus he's an avid tennis player that plays almost daily. I know because my cousin works at the consulting firm he worked.
But anyway, re-read my post. I didn't say that Atkins wasn't safe. I said that South Beach was healthier. Atkins dramatically shifts the balance of protein/fat/carb intake. South Beach adjusts the intake without setting any in-balance.
This means that there is less chance of carbohydrate binge eating since they aren't drastically restricted from your diet (beyond the initial two weeks). People using South Beach report a constant weight loss beyond the 2-4 week plateau that Atkins users tend to hit. In addition the maintenance period is easier to maintain without the cravings.
I've tried Atkins with a lot of success but since I am active, I can not forgo a certain amount of carbs that I need to burn each day. With South Beach I have the energy that I need from the carbs but I can still loose weight and maintain a proper weight. Also, I can still eat at restaurants without ordering Atkins specific meals. Oh and I spend much less money on food with South Beach and I am seldom hungry.
