Yet obesity rates continue to climb.

POPULAR DIETS

There are many popular diets for you to choose from when selecting how you want to lose weight. Some programs have been around for years and have developed a reliable track record of success; other diet plans have been around just a short time.

Every popular diet is unique in its approach and method to helping you lose those unwanted pounds. Some will cater to specific health conditions, and some require you to eat the food that they send you. You need to be sure to select a diet plan that fits into your lifestyle. After all, if the diet is too inconvenient and you're not fully committed to the program, you'll eventually lose interest. You don't want to end up frustrated by wasting your time and money by choosing the wrong diet!

When evaluating popular diet plans, there are some important factors you need to consider:

•  Cost.  Does the diet involve a one-time charge, food costs, and monthly fees?

•  Website Functionality.  What services does the website offer? Are there online diet consultants available?

•  Diet Complexity.  How difficult or time-consuming is it to follow the diet program?

•  Rate of Weight Loss.  Should you anticipate quick weight loss or slower results?

•  Weight Management.  Is the diet program focused on short-term results, or does it prepare you to maintain weight loss for years to come?

We hope you find these reviews helpful in deciding which popular diet is right for you!

Nutrisystem Diet

4 stars

NUTRISYSTEM

Nutrisystem ranks as a solid choice due to overwhelming convenience, results, and a sound focus on nutrition and exercise. The program offers an easy to follow and convenient diet program using prepackaged, calorie-controlled meals. More...

South Beach Diet

3.5 stars

SOUTH BEACH DIET

Thumbs up to the South Beach creator for inventing a diet plan that makes good health sense. The South Beach online tool is a user-friendly, interactive device for managing successful weight loss. This diet is more complex than those ranked higher, and the first two weeks of the plan may feel restrictive. More...

Glycemic Impact Diet

3.5 stars

GLYCEMIC IMPACT DIET

If you’re looking for a healthy diet built for heart patients and diabetics, this might be the one for you. By assigning a number system to food, this diet identifies how fast a food is processed through your body. More restrictive than many diets, the wonderful online system makes it easy to manage on your own. More...

Medifast Diet

3 stars

MEDIFAST

Most of us enjoy eating, chewing, and can learn how to moderate our lifestyles. Medifast takes much of that away by asking that you eat small, prepackaged snacks most of the day. While results can be significant, it’s not necessarily realistic for most dieters that need to be able to eat more than one meal a day. More...

Jenny Craig

2.3 stars

JENNY CRAIG

Jenny Craig is a well-advertised commercial diet program that provides expensive prepackaged foods for those on the go. The convenience of the program is one of the only positives - the taste, portions and cost being a turn off. We felt that someone could easily mimic this diet by buying their own frozen diet meals at the grocery store and eating out of a box for a fraction of the cost. More...

Atkins Diet

2 stars

ATKINS

This low-carb diet requires some education, and the plan is more restrictive than others. This may translate into diet boredom for many participants. Eating a lot of protein can mean eating a lot of fat and in the end that might not be the healthiest long term choice. More...

The Zone Diet

1 star

THE ZONE

The Zone diet plan made last place within this diet category due to its complex nature. Determining what to eat and when to eat it sounds great but creates the potential for low success rates. The daily food limit is small and might also increase chances of cheating and eventual failure. More...
