 Follow our plan and
lose the weight! Eat more and weigh less! There are as many clever weight loss
slogans as there are plans. But are any of them right for you? We have looked
at many of the popular diet plans available today and are, well, ready to give
you the skinny!
The Atkins Diet
This is probably one
of the most well known diets of the last ten years. Dr. Atkins has created this
diet focusing on eating more protein and fat while significantly reducing
carbohydrates. Dieters do not really have to limit their food intake as long as
their carb count is low. But for some, walking away from carbohydrates can be
quite difficult. Other than that, following this diet is fairly simple and does
not require weights and measures to portion food. This diet can give you a lot
of fast "bang" for your buck. There is usually a fairly quick weight loss
involved with this diet - but will that continue in the long term? Some folks
find their body begins to crave carbs later in the diet plan, and can easily
jump ship and gain the weight right back.
Weight Watchers
Weight Watchers
teaches its followers how to live a healthy lifestyle with a healthy and
balanced diet. Calories are counted carefully with this plan and carbohydrates
are allowed. Emphasis is made on vegetable, whole grain and fruit fibers. Fat
intake is low with this diet. Pre-made Weight Watchers meals are available in
most grocery stores, making meal preparation fairly simple. The Weight Watchers
diet is known for its good successful retention rate.
Slim-Fast Diet
If you do not
particularly enjoy preparing meals and measuring ingredients, the Slim-Fast plan
may be the way to go. Participants replace two meals out of their day with diet
shakes and diet bars. The Slim Fast diet has balanced nutrition and has a good
short-term weight loss rate. Weight gain may occur once you are off the plan.
South Beach Diet
The South Beach Diet
allows what are deemed as good carbs and fats on the menu. It is more balanced
than the Atkins Diet. There are three phases to this diet. Fat is discouraged
in all three of these phases. The first requires a reduction of bad
carbohydrates. Whole grains and fruits are added in the second, while the third
allows three servings of each a day. The dieter must be able to stick to an
eating regimen for this plan to work. Once a person reaches phase three, it may
be easy to fall back into old habits and gain the weight right back.
Jenny Craig Diet
As with the Weight
Watchers program, Jenny Craig works hard to teach a healthy lifestyle. Exercise
is included in the plan and support is there to teach you a new and healthy way
to live. Meals are prepared for you and can even be delivered to your home. Of
course this can mean a greater cost and can be inconvenient to travelers. Jenny
Craig supporters can brag of a healthier life and slimmer waste - but must work
at keeping it up once they begin to prepare their own meals.
