2010’s Fabulous Four
If losing weight is your New Year’s resolution but you are finding it hard to shed those extra pounds, then maybe a more structured diet plan is for you. For 2010, the options are endless. Here is an overview of the top four diet plans along with their pros and cons.
First up is Diet Watch. Diet Watch was developed as a solution for the “emotional” eater. Does crying over a lost love make you dig out the chocolate cake? If so, then this might be the diet for you. Diet Watch offers four personalized Diet Plans: Vegetarian, Reduced Carb, Mediterranean, and one named No Restrictions. Plan on restricting your food intake though. Included with these diets is expert support and online tracking of your progress. The emotional diet is Diet Watches newest claim to fame. This is an eight week course called Mastering Food. This diet is an extra fee, but the price for avoiding that $8.99 tin of pie just might be worth it.
Next on the list is the Glycemic Impact Diet. Tired of that sugar free dessert that has 0 calories and 200 grams of fat? This diet is meant to help put that cake right side up. The Glycemic Impact plan is great for people who prefer packaged meals. Members can choose the convenience option and enjoy healthy frozen entrees for dinner, as well as other low glycemic index/load foods that achieve balance without the bother of cooking every night. Finding food on your local Denny’s menu might seem difficult but if you want to dine out, simply choose baked, broiled or grilled lean meats, chicken or fish. This diet is basically the best of many diets such as South Beach and The Zone combined with easy to follow directions that even the most distracted dieter can follow.
Everything these days can be pinpointed to an event in your past. If this is your philosophy then Diet.com—the personality based diet, might be your best option. This one of a kind online program combines nutritional and behavioral approaches. If Weight loss means more to you than a diet plan, and you need support in managing your eating, then this is your diet. Be prepared to find out why you do what you do and what makes you tick. On the flipside, if ignorance for you is bliss, then this is one diet you might want to skip.
Finally, the diet we have all been waiting for. The fourth and final best pick for 2010. Called the Yuppie diet, or more precisely the Sonoma diet (I made the yuppie part up,) this diet combines a healthy balance of food and wine. Yes, that is correct. Drink up. The Sonoma diet uses a concept called the 'Plate and Bowl'. Each meal is assigned a specific plate size, with instructions on how the plate should be filled and yes, there is a wine guide to help select which Chateau Margaux goes with your meal. If you don’t like to cook though, this one is not for you. Prepackaged and gourmet simply do not mix.
Whatever weight lose solution you pick, remember that exercise plays an important role in the success or failure of any diet. So, for 2010 when you make that notorious resolution to lose weight, try one of these fabulous four as well as the nearest gym, for your best year yet.
