Lettuce and weight loss?

I am trying to have my third child and just found out that we did not conceive this month. I was disappointed but at the same time kind of relieve since this will give me a little time to drop some weight before once again putting my body through another 80 pound weight gain and a 9 pound baby. So, my question is this…what if I based my diet around lettuce and fruit….will this be a source of quick weight loss??? Thanks!!!
Oh yeah…I am taking prenatal vitamins to prepare my body for the impending stress of carrying another (my 4th) child.

Does the negative calorie diet really work?

I would eat apples, peaches, lettuce and cabbage. I would drink unsweetened green tea and water. If it does REALLY work then could you tell me some more negative calorie foods?! Thanks!

What ISN’T included in the Nutri System diet?

I was thinking of going on the nutri system diet and try it over the summer and i was wondering what extras i need to buy so that i dont waste too much money because the diet is expensive.

like for example if they give you a hamburger, do you need to buy the buns, lettuce, tomatoes, ..etc yourself?

Also does anyone know where i can find real pictures of some of the meals?

Im 16 years old, 5"9" male, 175lb , med frame.
