Out of the hundreds of diet plans available and are endorsed by doctors, celebrities, friends and family, how does one know which one to try?  If you are new to the diet arena, you may get completely overwhelmed by all the suggestions and information you’ll find and all of the diet plans seem to work.  But the real question is will it work for you?  Here is a shortlist of diet plans to help narrow down your search.

After searching the internet for top ten weight loss/diet plans, I have discovered that there are only a few that keeps recurring.

Weight Watchers

Yes, it’s a classic, which proves that this celebrity endorsed diet plan works.  Weight Watchers is basically a calorie-controlled diet where a dieter gets a daily points allowance.  You can eat anything you want as long as you keep within the given allowance. Probably the best feature of this diet is its flexibility, availability of the recommended meals and support.

The DASH Diet

This diet was designed to the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the main goal was to help people find a healthy and natural way to lower blood pressure and reverse heart disease.  The diet features calorie counting, exercise regimen and a set of Health Food and a Low Sodium Diet.  The reason why it works it that it is based on health sciences.  The diet is highly recommended for people dealing with heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

The PALEO Diet

It can be a little restrictive but it works, especially for men.  The Paleolithic Diet simply encourages people to avoid any kind of food that is processed in any form, which include cooking oils.  The diet also encourages that food be cooked in open fire.  The general idea is to revert back to the ways of the caveman.  Though people find it very restrictive, it is also simple enough to follow.  What makes it work is the community that it has created where recipes are being shared and passed around.

The Volumetrics Diet

This diet is all about soups and large salads and other kinds of food that is low calorie but has “high-volume” - The kind that keeps you full for hours. The Volumetrics Diet offers recipes that are healthy and fiber-packed. The idea is to keep your body from gaining too much weight by stopping the constant craving that you get when you feed on calorie packed foods or simple carbs.

The Jenny Craig

The reason why it works is because it is a highly personalized plan. The one to one consultations provide support and help dieters keep their goals on track.  The meal delivery service is a big plus of course, especially for people who have very little time to plan meals let alone cook them.  The only set-back is the tag price that goes with it.
