Atkins' New Diet Revolution by Dr. Atkins: This diet plan encourages a high protein diet with a restricted carbohydrate consumption. You can eat loads of vegetables and meat, but must not eat bread, rice or pasta. You are not restricted on your fat intake so it is all right to pour on the (correct) 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 severely restricted.
The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet by Drs. Heller. This diet programme also recommends following a low carbohydrate diet. It recommends 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. It recommends restricting your fat intake. You are given a "fat" budget but you are given freedom on how to spend it. It does not force people to watch their carbohydrate consumption. Eating meat and poultry as well as low-fat dairy and seafood is OK. You may also consume vegetables, fruits, cereals, bread and pasta. This weight loss plan is quite healthy, because it recommends healthy amounts of fruits and vegetables and saturated fats. Watch your triglyceride levels though. If they are high, cut down on the carbohydrates and eat more unsaturated fats.
The DASH Diet. Advocates eating a moderate amount of fat and protein yet 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 as well as fruit and vegetables and low-fat dairy. Some dieters think it advocates too much eating to create significant weight loss.
Eat More, Weigh Less: by Dr. Ornish. Mostly a vegetarian food and low-fat plan. Advises to watch out for low-fat dairy and egg whites. This diet plan is poor in calcium and limits the consumption of healthy foods like seafood and lean poultry.
Eat Right for Your Type: This plan is quite unusual because it centres its advice on your blood group. For example, it recommends lots of meat for people with the blood type O. However, diet programs for some blood types are nutritionally unbalanced and very low in calories. Furthermore, just for the record, there is no proof that blood type can affect dietary requirements.
The Pritkin Principle: It focuses on cutting back on the number 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 limits protein sources to lean meat, seafood and poultry. It is healthy since it allows low amounts of saturated fats and rather large amounts of vegetables and fruits. However, it is low on calcium and restricts lean protein sources.
Volumetrics: It provides for consuming fewer calories. It advises about the same foods as Pritkin but restricts 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 yet moderately high on proteins. It recommends low-fat protein foods such as fish and chicken plus vegetables, fruits and grains. It is also a healthy diet but short on grains and calcium.
Weight Watchers: They advise high carbohydrate meals, yet are moderate on fats and proteins. A fairly healthy diet program and very flexible too. It allows the dieter to devise his own meals rather than offering recipes, although there are Weight Watchers' TV dinners in the shops. - 17268
