These weight loss programs, or diet plans are gaining immense popularity because of their publicity, testimonials and reviews and you may be confused as to exactly which one to follow. So before choosing which weight loss plan to follow, try reading the following summaries of the most popular diet programs out today.
The Atkins' New Diet Revolution by Dr. Atkins: This diet plan encourages a high protein diet and fewer carbohydrates. You can eat loads of vegetables and meat but must not eat bread and pasta. You are not restricted on your fat consumption so it is OK to pour on the (right) salad dressing and freely spread on the butter. However, during the diet, some people may find themselves short on fibre and high on fat and cholesterol. Grains and fruits are also strictly limited.
The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet by Drs. Heller. This diet plan also recommends following a low carbohydrate diet. It suggests eating mostly meats, vegetables and fruit, dairy and grain products. however, warns against taking in too many carbohydrates. So-called "Reward Meals" can be quite high in fats and saturated fats.
Choose to Lose: by Dr. Goor. Restricts fat intake. You are given a "fat" budget and you are given free reign on how to use it. It does not pressure the individual to regulate his carbohydrate intake. Eating meat and poultry as well as low-fat dairy and seafood is fine. You may also consume vegetables, fruits, cereals, bread and pasta. This weight loss plan is fairly healthy, because it recommends correct amounts of fruits and vegetables as well as saturated fats. Watch your triglyceride levels though. If they are high, cut down on the carbohydrates and eat more unsaturated fats.
The DASH Diet. Recommends eating a moderate amount of fat and protein but lots of carbohydrates. It was primarily designed to lower blood pressure. The diet plan follows the pyramid food guide and encourages a high consumption of whole wheat grains and fruit and vegetables and low-fat dairy. Some dieters think it advises too much eating to produce significant weight loss.
Eat More, Weigh Less: by Dr. Ornish. Primarily a vegetarian food and low-fat diet. Warns to look out for low-fat dairy and egg whites. This diet program is poor in calcium and restricts the consumption of healthy foods like seafood and lean poultry.
Eat Right for Your Type: This scheme is really unusual because it bases its recommendations on your blood type. For example, it advises plenty of meat for people with the blood type O. However, diet plans for some blood types are nutritionally imbalanced and too low in calories. Furthermore, just for the record, there is no evidence that blood type can affect dietary requirements.
The Pritkin Principle: It focuses on cutting back on the amount of calories by eating 'watery' foods that make you feel full. It recommends eating vegetables, fruits, oatmeal, pasta, soups, salads and low-fat dairy, which it says is fine, although it also restricts protein sources to lean meat, seafood and poultry. It is healthy because it provides low amounts of saturated fats and high amounts of vegetables and fruits. However, it is low on calcium and limits lean protein sources.
Volumetrics: It recommends consuming fewer calories. It recommends about the same foods as Pritkin but limits fatty food and grain foodstuffs like popcorn, pretzels and crackers. This program is fairly healthy given the high amounts of fruit and vegetables. It also recommends eating fewer calories and saturated fats.
The Zone: It is fairly low on carbohydrates but fairly high on proteins. It encourages low-fat protein foods such as fish and chicken plus vegetables, fruits and grains. It is also a healthy diet but lacking in grains and calcium.
Weight Watchers: High carbohydrates, yet moderate on fats and proteins. A very healthy diet plan and very flexible too. It allows the dieter to plan his own meals rather than offering recipes, although there are WW TV dinners in the shops. - 17269
