There are so many diets on the market at the moment that it becomes difficult to know which ones to give a go, which diets are easy to follow and which ones actually work. This article aims to give a basic run down of the types of diets that are available at the moment, and how they work.

Meal Replacement Diets

These diets include the likes of Tony Ferguson Weight Loss Program and Kate Morgan Weight Loss Program. These diets work by having a calorie controlled weight loss drink once of twice a day and then supplemented with a balanced diet. These diets have tended to result in significant weight loss in the short term. The problem with these diets is that it can be difficult to maintain. The drinks also don’t work in well with social habits in terms of eating out. Common side effects of these diets are constipation. These diets can definitely work, however make sure you also keep up with your recommend servings of fruit and vegetables.

Detox Diets

There are many detox diets out there on the market and the most common is the Lemon Detox Diet. These detox diets remove saturated fats from your diet, as well as refined sugars, however there is little evidence to show it actually removes ‘toxins’ from the body. These diets are extremely calorie restricted. For instance the Lemon Detox Diet would involve having 6 drinks a day, and nothing else. Each of these drinks only has 100 calories in them, so anyone who sticks to this will lose a substantial amount of weight. The problems is that the fast weight loss throws the body into starvation mode and the bodies metabolic rate slows down significantly. Once the diet is finished, weight will be put back and fat will replace what was once muscle. Dieters should be very careful before embarking on these diets and do so under doctors supervision.

Fad Diets

There are so many fad diets on the market that it is almost impossible to keep count. The cabbage diet or the grapefruit diet are two of these. Most fad diets can be identified by the promise of fast weight loss. The problem with any fad diet is that fast weight loss is almost never sustainable and will invariably lead to weight gain and the yo-yo weight effects that dieters experience from going on to many diets.

Healthy Balanced Diets

These are not the diets that people get excited about, however they have always had the best long term results. These will diets that include at least 5 servings of vegetables and 2 servings of fruit a day, and a balance of protein, carbohydrates and fats. Some good examples of these diets are Australian Lifestyle & Fitness, CSIRO and Low GI Diet. The focus is on moderating calorie intake but still achieving a balanced diet.

Following is a real life account of an obese person who was about to die due to his overweight and related diseases. The story is how he got rid of the problem of obesity. We are bringing the story here with the hope that definitely the story will encourage people to lose extra weight and become disease free. Let us read the story in his own words.

Hello! I am an ordinary citizen and actually no story is generally written by any one about an ordinary person like me. However still I am writing my experience with the hope that this may encourage others to fight the curse of obesity.

Even a few years back, I was an obese person. Actually my obesity started from my child hood. It is true that 40 percent of teen age boys and girls in America are overweight and obese. I was also among one of them during my childhood.

My body weight continued to increase abnormally compared to my age and height as I grew older. At my age below 25, my body weight increased to an alarming level. This overweight made me slow, not so smart and lazy. I felt always difficulty in breathing. My blood pressure increased unnecessarily. Also there were some symptoms of type-2 diabetes in my system. Really I was scared and could not find any way to get rid of my problem of overweight.

Also my sexual power was reducing day by day and I felt ashamed to my beautiful wife for not being able to satisfy her sexual desire.

I was thinking to adopt some weight loss programs with regular exercise by visiting Gym and take a session under the instruction of an experienced person.

However, I saw the program was too rigorous to adopt. So I did not join and this made me very much upset and I thought that there was no respite from my excess weight which would ultimately kill me in my immature age.

I heard the name of Phentermine diet pills. But I was not sure about their effectiveness as there were floods of advertisements in TV and Internet about cheap Phentermine diet pills and I thought all bogus.

But when I felt that my body weight would kill me one day and seeing no other way, I took the advice of a doctor who prescribed me to buy Phentermine diet pills.

He assured me that everything was not bogus. Actually phentermine

diet pills are prescription drugs and should be taken through a prescription of an experienced doctor. There are some suitability criteria for Phentermine diet pills and there are some side effects of it which should be closely monitored by a doctor.

The doctor also advised me to take controlled amount of balanced diet with some light exercise during morning and evening which were suitable for me.

Seeing no other way, I followed the doctor’s advice and started my weight loss program with Phentermine diet pills, balanced diet and regular exercise. After a few weeks I felt the real miracle. My body weight started to reduce.

My joy knew no bounds. I was so excited and thrilled to see my body weight reduction! This encouraged me to adopt a bit more rigorous exercise with the advice of my doctor and my body weight gradually came to the accepted level without disturbing other functions of my body.

At present my body is perfectly fit. All my symptoms of weight related disease disappeared as soon as my body weight came down.

I want to warn people that you may get spam mails from internet stores regarding Phentermine online. You should not be enticed to buy Phentermine online although they appear to be cheap. I have found other diet pills that are just as good and infact sometimes beter and have listed them all on my web page!

The Atkins Diet offered itself as a win-win alternative to people who struggle to eat less by allowing them to consume enough volumes of food to fulfill their cravings, while still losing weight. The diet is based on the theory that overweight people eat too many carbohydrates.

Forget starvation and fad diets — join the healthy eating crowd! Recent research has found that high-protein diets speed up the progression of hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis ), the main cause of heart attacks . First there was the pet rock, then there was retro-70’s and now you can add to that lame pantheon the low-carb diet. This process is at its most rigorous during the induction phase of the diet.

A good health weight loss diet works on both your eating habits and your exercise routine. The Atkins diet assures weight loss as well as appetite satisfaction. Low-fat diets invariably mean high-carbohydrate diets, and therefore increased sugar consumption (in the form of both simple and complex carbohydrates).

The Atkins diet has a theory that western eating habits are the main contributing factor to the high rate of over weight and obese people. On the whole, the Atkins diet will prove beneficial if one does it in moderation and combines a regular fitness program with it.

Atkins dieters are encouraged to test their urine for the presence of ketones (fat-like compounds produced during ketosis) using Lipolysis Testing Strips. The underlying premise of the Atkins Diet is that diets high in carbohydrates cause some people to gain weight and can ultimately lead to obesity. In contrast to the low fat, high carbohydrate diet, a popular approach to weight loss is the Atkins diet, a “controlled carbohydrate” dietary regimen.

Since the Atkins diet provides participants with such a wide variety of choices in terms of what they can eat, developing a specific all-encompassing menu can be a daunting task for anyone.. Phase 1 of Atkins diet plan is call the induction phase, which lasts for 14 days and places restriction on particular foods for the body to trigger ketosis.

Remember the fiber supplements and the water if you fallow a low-carb diet, like Atkins Diet. You really need to make this a way of life for me instead of a diet.

No one diet is the answer for everyone. Robert Atkins created a dynamic low carbohydrate diet in the 1970’s, and had a book that elaborated on the diet. While most diet experts say that not everyone who has a weight problem is insulin resistant, Atkins says it is more likely than not.

According to the core principle of the Atkins diet, by limiting carbohydrates in a four-phase process your body is forced to burn its stored fat, rather than carbohydrates, for fuel.

Atkins diet revolution has spread to the frozen dessert industry, with the introduction of Atkins Endulge Ice Cream. The company notes that the product qualifies as a super premium ice cream since it has 16% butterfat content.

The vast majority of people start dieting in order to lose weight. Losing weight can be accomplished in a number of ways. A diet is simply a specific method for accomplishing that task.

When one decides that they need to lose weight, the first thing that must be considered is the reason for wanting to lose weight. Is the weight loss going to be directed at a way to gain better health or is it more of a vanity reason? The reason for dieting is as important as the method used to lose the weight.

If attaining a more healthy lifestyle and striving for better health is the reason, it should not be of any concern how long the dieting takes to achieve the weight loss goal, if in fact there is a goal. If good health is the main objective, length of time should not be an issue because the diet should simply be a part of a life-style change in which the dieting change would be a long-term part of the life-style anyway.

If, on the other hand, vanity is the reason and the dieting person is hell bent on losing a significant amount of weight in a short period of time in order to fit into an object of clothing or simply to look great at the class reunion in a month, the method chosen for dieting will be completely different and, most likely, quite unhealthy.

Long term lifestyle type diets are usually of the type that occur in small increments of weight loss and continue as exercise is slowly increased and more healthy food, in smaller portions is consumed. These are usually quite simple diets that don’t cause a significant amount of suffering as long as the dieting person is committed to the long-term goals.

The vanity type diet is usually a quick but very self-denying diet in which the dieting person eats very little or eats foods that do not tempt the pallet as far as taste or attractiveness go. Often, very large amounts of water are incorporated into these diets and most people do not drink enough water to begin with. When they are confronted with the need to increase their water intake significantly, they hesitate or they are not very compliant. Water, when one is not thirsty, simply does not taste very good.

The vanity diet also usually requires a substantial increase in activity in the form of exercise and most people have a strong aversion to that form of activity.

There are also diets that are not in either the lifestyle change nor the vanity dieting lists but are really a forced lifestyle change that is completely necessary for the dieting person to continue to live. Once such diet is the diabetic diet. If one ignores their diabetes and continues to eat large amounts of carbohydrates, as most Americans do, they will eventually suffer serious health deterioration. So, the necessary-for-life diets are not the ones we are really concerned with in this article.

There are a number of different diets available for each of the non-necessity diets. The basic lifestyle change diet has already been described though some of the latter day fad diets are also appropriate for long-term dieting if the person doing the dieting is indeed dedicated to the lifestyle change. Some specific fad diets that would work for this person are the Atkins or low-carb diet, The Zone diet or the South Beach diet.

The extreme vanity diet person can also use the low carb diet for fast weight loss or they can try starvation or if they really want to lose weight fast and suffer a bit more but at least retain some type of decent health, they can attempt the Lemonade Diet.

The lemonade diet is highly effective but is more a fast than a diet and a special mixture of water, cayenne pepper, lemon juice and syrup are required. One must be highly dedicated to losing weight for this diet to work as no food is allowed for a period of at least ten days and the Lemonade dieter will feel worse before they feel like a million dollars. The diet is extremely effective for losing ten pounds or more in ten days though. The added benefit of this diet is that it does a thorough job of cleaning the colon.

Each one of the above mentioned diets should be highly suspect and not just accepted for it’s reputation or the current fad. One who is considering dieting should, at the very least, buy the book that is written about the diet in order to learn how the diet works with the body and effects the different body systems. Each of the authors has a lot of information included in their book about these concerns.

The main point of this article is to point out to anyone who is considering dieting that they should be very careful and choose a diet that meets their goals and health concerns. Don’t blindly go into any diet without knowing how it’s supposed to effect you, what you’re supposed to eat while on the diet, how much weight you are expected to lose in a specific period of time and what are the benefits and health concerns that attach to that diet.

In fact, it is a very good idea to discuss any diet plans with your health care professional prior to starting or even considering one of the above diets.

Which diet program is best for you ? Please read the diet program reviews below to help you decide.

Atkins Diet Program

The Atkins diet program is based on the principle of switching your body to burn fat instead of

carbohydrates to obtain energy. It is a life change rather than a diet program, as in order to keep the pounds off you need to stick to the recommended way of eating.

The main difference to other diet programs is in what you are allowed to eat ie eggs, meat including beef, pork, turkey, chicken, duck, wild game, veal & lamb also fish such as shellfish. Fats are also permitted ie butter, olive

oil & mayonnaise, certain cheeses are also permitted.

You must drink lots of water, only de-caffinated coffee & will need to take vitamin supplements including minerals.

You must also exercise every day, no need to do a marathon however, a brisk walk will suffice. You are encouraged to eat enough to satisfy your appetite but you must not overeat.

You must not drink alcohol. You must not cheat; it takes 2-3 days for the body to switch from burning carbohydrates (in the form of glucose) to burning fat, so if you cheat you are back to day 1.

You cannot eat the following:

Sugar in any form, corn syrup, honey or maple syrup.

Milk or Yogurt – a limited amount of cream is allowed.

Fruit & fruit juice.

Flour products (bread, pasta, crackers etc)

Grains or cereals.

Beans and legumes.

Starchy or high sugar vegetables such as potatoes, yams, corn, peas, parsnips, beets & carrots.

Sweet condiments such as most ketchups, bbq sauce & balsamic vinegar.

French dressing & thousand island dressing.

Cottage cheese, farmers cheese & other fresh cheeses.

Nuts & seeds.

Diet Program Pro’s

Lots of popular foods are permitted & you can have snacks between meals. No need to starve and are

encouraged to eat when hungry.

Diet Program Con’s

Must stick to diet for good to keep off unwanted pounds. No breaks or cheat days allowed. May not be suitable if you can’t go without coffee or alcohol.

South Beach Diet Program

Similar to the Atkins diet prgram in that it changes the way you eat whilst still allowing plenty of popular foods such as meat, fish & eggs but you can also eat cheese & vegetables.

You can have 3 meals a day & even 2 snacks a day. You can also have dessert & diet soda. You are not allowed any alcohol for an initial 2 week period but after that you are allowed to drink wine. After an initial 2 week start

where what you can eat is limited you can start to phase some of your favourite foods back into your diet. Its all about eating “good carbs” instead of “bad carbs”.

Diet Program Pro’s

Based on a healthy way of eating rather than a diet. Many of your favourite foods are probably still

allowed. Some alcohol ie wine is allowed.

Diet Program Con’s

You may find the first couple of weeks particularly hard due to what you can eat being limited.

Zone Diet Program

Developed by Barry Sears a biochemist, the Zone Diet is about controlling your insulin level through a balanced diet of carbohydrates, proteins & fat, also known as the 40-30-30 diet (40% carbohydrates,

30% Proteins 30% fat). Once again it is a way of living rather than just a diet with 3 stages geared to make you lose weight, control hunger & have more energy. It is based on consistent insulin levels with the supplementation of high dose fish oil.

The Zone diet encourages eating regularly throughout the day & eliminates many jink foods such as sweets & chips.

The “Zone” refers to being in a physiological state in which hormones, governed by the food you eat, are in a zone which is neither too high nor too low.

Diet Program Pro’s

Balanced diet rather than cutting out foods you may enjoy.

Diet Program Con’s

The reasoning behind the diet can be quite technical & therefore many people may disagree about its merits.

Mediterranean Diet Program

Not a diet as such but simply a way of eating for hundreds if not thousands of years followed by people of countries bordering the Mediterranean such as Greece, Southern Italy, parts of North Africa & the Middle East.

It is well known that people from these areas have a lower incidence of heart disease; this is believed to be due to over half of their fat intake being from monounsaturated fat (mainly from olive oil) as opposed to saturated fat, prominent elsewhere. Saturated fat is known to raise cholesterol levels.

The basic diet followed is one that has a low consumption of red meat, low to moderate consumption of sweets, fish, eggs & dairy products except cheese & natural yogurt, a high consumption of fresh fruits & vegetables & a higher consumption of breads, pasta, rice, potatoes & couscous. Water & red wine (in moderation) are taken with meals.

Diet Program Pro’s

Not a “fad diet” but a traditional way of eating with known health benefits.

Diet Program Con’s

None as such apart from if you are unable to obtain fresh fruit & veg.

Weight Watchers Diet Program

There are 2 main diet programs for you to follow; one a points system where all foods are allocated points according to their calorie, fat & fibre content. You are allowed to use up (or consume) a set number of points per day. The other diet program is a no points system which allows you to eat from a range of wholesome foods without having to count the calories.

The weight watchers diet program can be followed online as well as offline through regular local meetings where you will get not just tips & guidance but the support & encouragement of fellow weight watchers.

Diet Program Pro’s

On the points system you can eat what you like as long as you stick to the number of points.

The meetings can help to keep you motivated.

Diet Program Con’s

Offline meetings may not be practical for you. The points system may leave you feeling hungry.

Do you really want to shed some weight off yourself? Are u being called an overweight or obese in the language of medical community? Are prescription diet pills the answer for your situation? In the following article we will try and find out the answer of these questions and also some facts about prescription diet pills. There a several prescriptions that doctor prescribes on an every day basis. Some of them are stimulants that rev up your metabolism while some works as appetite suppressants. There are some prescription diet pills that work as both. Diet pills are very attractive stuff if one wants to lose weight, especially if one had tried several other predictable and conventional weight loss methods to lose that extra weight from your body but didn’t gain any success. There are hundreds of diet pills brands and weight loss products available in the market today. While surfing the Internet we might see hundreds of links claiming to lose weight. Magazines are stuffed with ads of products that claim unbelievable weight loss results. With so many choices it becomes really impossible to check what’s what and which products are based more on marketing hype rather than true effectiveness. So, please stay alert and be very careful! Even the most natural-sounding diet pills or weight loss supplements can be useless for weight loss, or dangerous, or both. There are no fears that some of these products offer the potential for real weight loss benefits. Unfortunately, sometimes unfounded or exaggerated claims lead to confusion for the consumer. Having adequate information about the efficacy and safety of weight loss products is a paramount in making a well-informed decision.

There are two types of prescription diet pills:

• Prescription-only diet pills

• Over-the-counter (otc) diet pills

PRESCRIPTION-ONLY DIET PILLS

Prescription only diet pills are the diet drugs. This medicine regulated by the Food and Drug Administration agency (FDA). FDA also monitors very closely their side effects. They may be advertised and prescribed for weight loss under certain condition and in certain pill-dosages. Many well-known and famous brand names come in this category of diet pills, which includes brands like Meridia (Sibutramine), Xenical (Orlistat), Adipex, Bontril, Didrex, Phentermine and Tenuate. Prescription only diet pills are designed and developed principally for those suffering from serious obesity i.e., with a BMI [Body Mass Index] of more than 35. Diet and weight loss drugs are not a cosmetic answer to weight loss, neither are they projected to substitute conventional diet and weight loss programs. It should be noted that those overweight and obese people who fail to lose weight on orthodox diet plans should not switch to these diet pills as a simple reply to their weight problems leaving all other contemporary methods. Instead they should carry on with their weight loss diet and work on improving their motivation to lose weight and exercise with using these prescription diet pills.

OVER-THE-COUNTER DIET PILLS AND WEIGHT LOSS SUPPLEMENTS

The OTC diet pills and weight loss pills field is perhaps the fastest growing sector of this industry of weight loss pills and diet pills. However, these diet pills are classified as food supplements rather than diet drugs, and are relatively unregulated. These types of diet pills are tested and examined by FDA. They are not subject to the same advertising, dosage or labeling requirements as prescription diet pills. Although many diet pills and weight loss supplements of over-the-counter diet pills type contains ingredients with powerful properties resembling amphetamine and even though some of these diet pills have been associated with serious side effects including serious heart attacks and death, there is no compulsory reporting procedures for these diet products. OTC diet pills remain an unknown quantity. But still there is a small confusion in medical world regarding diet pill. Some experts consider that many OTC diet supplements and weight loss pills are safe diet pills in reality and not that prescription diet pills.

To be very frank there is 50-50 chances in the effectiveness of these diet pills. When used under proper medical supervision in combination with an accurate diet and exercise program, diet pills can be effective at least in the short term. In the short term because, the body adjusts remarkably quickly to many diet pills, so the benefits may quickly wear off. If diet pills are not used in conjunction with a proper weight loss program incorporating proper diet and exercise, they are not likely to be effective and helpful. In fact, some pills may even disturb your system causing weight gain.

Most diet pill companies are engaged in intensive researches in trying to discover or invent one genuine solution to the problems of overweight and obesity. They have worked intensively on amphetamine-type diet pills, now they are researching on diet pills that work in the brain to suppress appetite, or in the intestines to inhibit the amount of fat and calories digested. So the day is not very far when this world will be free of over weighted ness.

So many diet supplements make lofty claims of dramatic weight loss yet carry potentially dangerous risks.  In fact, the term “diet pill” itself can carry negative connotations in the minds of dieters looking for help.  Unfortunately, many overweight people simply cannot lose weight on their own.  Finding time to exercise or plan nutritious meals can be impossible in this hectic day and age.  It is essential for some dieters to add a supplement to their diet plan. 

One new and safer choice of diet supplements on the market is Hydrox-Slim.  Hydrox-Slim fully discloses its ingredients, which are all natural and healthy.  Hydrox-Slim contains a blend of essential vitamins and plant extracts.  Green Tea, one of Hydrox-Slim’s ingredients, has been hailed by many for its healing powers as well as its weight loss benefits. 

Many weight loss pills with risky side effects contain the stimulant Ephedrine or contain Ephedrine-substitutes.  Some of the many health dangers of Ephedrine include cardiovascular and respiratory problems.  Hydrox-Slim does not contain Ephedrine.  In fact, the only stimulant Hydrox-Slim contains is caffeine, which occurs naturally in Green Tea.  Hydrox-Slim is not only a safer alternative for dieters, but it also combats fat and calories in several ways, making it more effective than dieting pills that only have one purpose, for example, to suppress hunger.

Hydrox-Slim’s special blend of natural elements causes a natural physiological response of the body called thermogenesis.  Thermogenesis is the process by which the human body creates heat.  Substances that cause this effect are called thermogenics and are commonly used in products for losing weight.  When a dieter takes Hydrox-Slim, his or her body produces heat by increasing the rate of metabolism.  Metabolism is the body’s processes which break down food and create energy.  When your metabolism increases above its normal rate, you burn fat and calories faster. 

In addition to burning fat faster, the ingredients in Hydrox-Slim help suppress your appetite.  Not only does the diet pill make you feel hungry less often, but you will feel full sooner.  Many overweight individuals actually overeat, which makes losing weight difficult.  With Hydrox-Slim’s hunger suppressing power, you can limit your eating to normal, healthy amounts.

Hydrox-Slim’s natural ingredients also have the added benefits of reducing water retention and even lower blood pressure.  Slimming down and losing weight also has many other health benefits, which include boosting energy, enhancing your appearance, and reducing the risk of obesity-related health risks such as diabetes and heart problems.

While Hydrox-Slim seems safer and more healthy than other dieting products, it is also less expensive than other brands.  That is not to suggest that Hydrox-Slim is of lower quality, only that other diet pills are over-priced.  Hydrox-Slim costs as little as $20 per bottle. 

It is simple to incorporate Hydrox-Slim into your daily routine.  You can take between two and four pills a day, and you must take it thirty minutes before eating or work outs to see maximum results.  Hydrox-Slim is not for women who are pregnant or nursing, and if you are sensitive to caffeine, you should avoid this diet product.
