6. Food Combining Diet …
What It Is: This is a plan that tells you what foods can and cannot be eaten together. It’s main rule is that protein rich foods should be eaten separately from carbohydrate heavy foods, as both take a long time to be fully digested and this leads to bloating and fat storage.
What I Think: This diet does sound interesting and the main part is that it allows having any food, which is always great. But I wonder if it really works… Have you tried it, did it work for you?
More Info: There is a great post on Food Combining on DietAndLifestyle.com, if you want more details.
7. The Weight Watchers Diet …
What It Is: There are books, there is a website, there are actual group gatherings, but the diet itself is very simple. It consists of giving every type of food a number of points. Each slimmer is assigned an amount of points that they can consume each day, determined by how much weight they want to lose, and can eat anything as long as they do not exceed this points level.
What I Think: I haven’t tried this diet yet, but I heard so much about it I think it’s time to finallytry it. Although I hear it has some downhills as well.
More Info: Read their review on Sensational.com. It has a lot of negatives!
8. Low Fat Diet …
What It Is: This is as the name suggests, girls – where high fat foods are cut out of the diet in place for low fat alternatives. This lowers the calories consumed, and leads to weight loss.
What I Think: Easier said than done. I don’t know if this one would work for me. Low fat means no chocolate or sweets. I am out. But if you are not as chocolate dependable as me, you might actually want to try it.
More Info: Read more about low fat diets at Dietsinreview.com.
9. Dietary Supplements …
What It Is: Tablets which are usually taken a few hours before eating that claim to either speed up metabolism or starve off hunger. These are taken for a month or so at a time.
What I think: If you ask me, a diet that requires taking pills doesn’t seem to be a good idea. It’s just doesn’t seem to be natural or healthy. Please correct me if I am wrong.
More Info: The review from Ezinearticles.com suggests that one can never be sure if those dieting pills are safe, no matter wether they have FDA approval or not… So, please think twice before ordering, girls.
10. Rosemary Conley’s hips and thighs diet …
What It Is: This diet suggests how much of each type of food should be eaten, recommending high amounts of fruit and vegetables and low amounts of fatty foods. It also suggests an exercise plan that is easily fitted around hectic lifestyles. Finally, a diet with an exercise plan – now we are talking :)
What I Think: Any diet that has an exercise plan gets my voice! I can’t believe other popular programs do not have this important part and what can be a more natural way to lose weight than following a diet and an exercise routine?
Speaking of exercise, there is a great post called 10 Top Exercises to Lose Weight … if you too believe in traditional way of losing weight.
More Info: Check out the review of Reosemary Conley’s diet at DietsInReview.com. It has a 100% success rating from the website readers! Not bad, huh?

I try to look for low fat or low calorie foods. And the key word is try! I def make sure I have low calorie yogurt. I cant believe it when I see 150 to 200 calories for a yogurt! Isn’t it supposed to be good for you?
PS I eat the light yoplait with 100 calories or the Dannon Light & Fit with 80 calories.
Hi… Just a quick comment. I am a Registered Dietitian and just wanted to point out that the GI Diet (glycemic index diet) explanation is wrong. High GI foods, which cause an increase in the glycemic curve and thus a rise in insulin levels should be avoided. THESE are the foods which increase cravings and decrease saciety. On the other hand, Low GI foods are encouraged, IN MODERATION.
Hope this is useful!!!!
I am currently on the SlimFast diet. I have a shake for breakfast and one for lunch. I eat one banana a day, and I snack on grapes when I do feel hungry. I drink 4-6 bottles of water and I work out at the gym 1-2 Hours a day. For lunch, I sometimes eat a grilled chicken salad instead of the shake and I either skip dinner or have my shake then. I have no appetite for the most part and I am working very hard and I have only been at it 29 days and dropped 15.6 pounds. I love this diet and I feel great!
Hi Kelly,
Thanks for sharing, SlimFast does sound like a great diet!
Thanks!

Thanks for sharing… I have been looking for these types of diet that could suit me. You should have a strong determination to lose weight.
I have met people that had great success with detox diets. I could never get passed the first few days cause I always got really sick in the stomach.
I love food way too much to go through with any kind of diet. I can exercise and eat healthy while occasionally satisfying my cravings. When I’m going through a healthy phase, I normally have a “fat day” in the week when I eat whatever I want. But I don’t think I could ever follow through a diet.
I´ve read Eat right for Your bloodtype diet makes sick people healthier + they have sportrecommendations, personnally I eat homegrown vedgetables and grow my own herbs. I love chamomiletea.
