One of the most important things people want to know when they think the time has come to reduce
some of their daily food consumption is which diet will work best for them. Although we are all different by
nature, we all share the same goal: a diet that can work quickly and efficiently. Some miracle drug or
Change of eating plans that makes fat go away forever. That’s actually the second part of the big wish:
how to make sure that all the weight lost through dieting stays gone for years to come.
The more articles published in magazines and on the Internet on diets, the
more people become confused about what the true meaning of dieting is all
bout and the right way of getting your body back in shape. The
growing number of obese people have turned to the weight loss
industry like never before the weight loss industry has a growing market each and every year. Now days
all one needs is a tangible idea and an imagination for marketing in order to make a lot of money or gain
a lot of popularity by proposing some sort of odd weight loss program, despite the lack of professional
Knowledge in this field.
There are many diets to choose from, So we are discussing only the top four best known diets, since
reviewing all of the diets would be beyond the scope of this article.
Jenny Craig
The Jenny Craig diet is next on the list. One of the longest running diets, Jenny Craig started this
business in the early 1980s and it’s still around. The basic idea of this diet is a trade off: you don’t have
to choose recipes, do the shopping and the cooking, but you have to buy the Jenny Craig prepackaged
food. And that runs to some $100 per week. Plus the membership costs. Plus the vegetables and fruits
which are not included in the prepackaged food. If you can afford it and if you can stick to it, the diet is
pretty good. However, similar low-calorie foods can be bought at the grocery store and you don’t have to
discuss this with a Jenny Craig expert that insists on your eating the prepackaged food because he gets
a percentage of the sale price.
Atkins
So let’s start with one of the latest fads of the dieting world: the Atkins diet. Pretty much everybody’s
head of the Atkins diet, largely due to the flood of articles praising the extraordinary results, not to
mention the loads of good mail from satisfied customers. The biggest thing in favor of this diet is that it
lets you eat high fat dairy products like cheese and butter. However, the Atkins diet has fallen from its
lofty perch over suspicions of increasing the risk of heart diseases, not to mention the proved fact that
bigger number of followers complain of diarrhea, weakness, muscle cramps and rashes. The debate
over the scientific fundamentals of this diet is still raging.
Weight Watchers
And yet another veteran dieting program around is Weight Watchers. This is actually one of the best
diets around because it puts all the management tools in the hands of the user. If you are really
committed to losing weight, you have all the information you need to do it. And a lot of people who are
going through the same thing are going to be there to help you. If having company during difficult times
helps your willpower, then you are probably going to lose all that extra weight. If, on the other hand, you
don’t like the idea of being constantly under peer pressure, then this diet is not for you.
South Beach
From sunny Florida comes the South Beach diet. This one has the right idea and wrong approach
combination down pat. Don’t get me wrong, a lot of people have managed to lose weight with this diet
and it actually works. But the question is: can you really stick to it? The first phase of the diet will
eliminate most foods containing carbohydrates from your daily consumption. Fortunately, this phase
lasts two weeks. Unfortunately, second phase focuses on a half-hearted return of whole grains and fruits
and lasts… as long as necessary. If reaching the desired weight takes you one year, then that’s exactly
how long this phase is going to last. And if you don’t like the foods allowed by this diet then you’re out of
luck. There are no alternatives.
As you can see from this short review, there are a lot of diets out there, dozens more than we have been
able to cover here. The best thing to do when choosing a diet is to do as much research as possible.
See what people who tried it have to say. Then seek the professional advise of a doctor and/or dietitian
to see what they have to say about it. You should pay special attention to what the doctors have to say.
If they tell you a certain diet will put your body to risk then do your research before trying it.
