If you're in the market for a new way to lose weight and don't want to spend time and money trying all the diet books out there, amNewYork has a new feature for you: the Dieter's Diary.

Each week, deputy features editor Daisy Carrington and her helpers will try out a new plan, then report back on their experiences with different diets.

The first entry focused on The Glycemic Index Diet, which theorizes that you can lose weight eating foods with a low glycemic index, a tool which measures the speed at which foods are digested and converted into glucose (the body's source of energy). Read Alexis Korman's report.

This week, Daisy Carrington kept her hunger window short and sweet with The 3-Hour Diet. Get Daisy's report and her food journal.
