body, some people just do it because they are embarrassed with the body they

slim down to obtain that longed for sexy body. There are many books available in
the bookstore which offer lose weight programs which are convenient and for

plans are gaining immense popularity with much publicity, testimonials and
reviews that one may be confused which exactly to follow. So before choosing
which weight loss prefer to follow, try reading these summaries about the most
popular diet programs out today.
Atkins' New Diet Revolution by Dr.
Atkins. This fat burning plan encourages high protein diet and a trim down on
the carbs. One can feast on vegetables and meat but need to fast on bread and
pasta. One is also not restricted against fat intake so it is okay to pour
inside salad dressing and freely spread on the butter. However, after the diet,
one may find himself lacking on fiber and calcium yet elevated in fat. Intake of
grains and fruits are also limited.
Carbohydrate Addict's Diet by Drs.
Heller. This diet plan advocates minimal carbohyrate eating. Approves on eating
meats, vegetables and fruits, dairy and grain products. however, warns against
taking in too very much carb. "Reward" meal can be too high on fats and
saturated fats.
Choose to Lose by Dr. Goor. Restrains extra fat intake.
One is given a "fat" budget and he is given the liberty on how to spend it. It
won't pressure the individual to watch his carbohydrate intake. Eating meat and
poultry as well as low-fat dairy and seafoods can be okay. A go signal is also
given on eating vegetables, fruits, cereals, bread and pasta. This weight loss
plan is reasonably healthy, good amounts of fruits and vegetables as well as
saturated fats. Watch triglyceride levels though; if high, trim down the
carbohydrates and tuck in more in the unsaturated fats.
The DASH Diet.
Advocates moderate amounts of fat and protein intake and high on carbs.
Primarily designed in order to reduce blood pressure, the diet plan follows the
pyramid food guide and encourages high intake of whole wheat grains as well as
vegatables and fruits and low-fat dairy. Some dieters think it advocates too
much eating to procure significant weight loss.
Eat More, Weigh A lesser
amount of by Dr. Ornish. Primarily vegetarian fare and strictly low-fat. Gives
the go signal on the "glow" foods but warns to observe it on non-fat dairy and
egg whites. This diet is poor in calcium and retricts consumption of healthy
foods similar to seafoods and lean poultry.
Eat Right for Your Type.
Interesting because it is based on the person's blood type. recommends plenty of
mest for those who have the blood type O. Diet plans for some blood types are
nutritionally imbalanced and too low in calories. And to the record, there is
even no proof that blood type affects dietary needs.
The Pritkin
Principle. Focused on trimming the calorie density in eating by suggesting
watery foods that leave one feel full. Eating vegetables, fruits, oatmeal,
pasta, soups, salads and low-fat dairy is okay. Although limits protein sources
for you to lean meat, pseafood and poultry. Although it is healthy by providing
low amounts of saturated fats and rich amounts of vegetables and fruit, it is
also low on calcium and limits lean protein sources.
Volumetrics. For
low-density calorie eating. Recommends the same food stuff as Pritkin but
restricts fatty or dry foods like popcorn, pretzels and crackers. This plan is
reasonably healthy given the high amounts of vegatables and fruits as well as
being low in calorie density and saturated fats.
The Zone. Moderately low
on the carbs yet moderately at the top of the proteins. Encourages low-fat
protein foods like fish and chicken plus veggies, fruits and grains. It is also
healthy but low in grains and calcium.
Weight Watchers. High
carbohydrates, moderate on fats and proteins. A very healthy diet plan and very
accommodating too. it allows the dieter to plan his own meal rather than give
him a set to follow.
