It is hard to turn on the television today and not see an added some sort or one weight-loss plan or another. It begs the question, if they work, why are there so many different kinds? Knowing your body and how it works will let you pick from many diet to market the best one for you. Below I’ve described some of the more popular weight-loss programs and and provided links to some new promising ones.
Jenny Craig. This diet needs no introduction its spokespeople Kirstie Alley and Valerie Bertinelli are all over the media. We’ve seen Kirstie Alley shrink from a behemoth to merely a very large woman. And Valerie Bertinelli has made a remarkable transformation. This plan has one big drawback. It is extremely expensive. The mAonthly fee while only $20 does not hint at or reveal that the actual cost is much more. The food is great but expensive. On the plus side the plan matches you with counselor with whom you can speak about your progress or lack thereof when you go in for weigh ins.
Weight Watchers. The Weight Watchers diet has been one of the most successful diets in the history of dieting. What makes it so popular is that no food is off limits. As long as you do not exceed your daily point limit you can eat whatever you want. The diet is instructive has great literature and the teachers provide great information about what to eat, how to lose weight and not feel hungry. Exercise while not a large part of this diet or a central theme is always encouraged. My advice, as you may well guess, is to develop your own exercise plan and follow it religiously. Exercise should be made part of your daily routine. When you do this you will feel better, look better and feel better.
South Beach. The South Beach diet gets so much attention because of its advertisement that you can lose up to 13 pounds of fat in the first two weeks you’re on the diet. this weight is lost because the diet is extremely restrictive than the first two weeks. The idea behind the diet, is to reprogram the body in order to burn calories more efficiently. Those foods that are excluded in the first two weeks are then slowly added back into the diet over time. This diet became so popular so quickly because there are many different makers of South Beach diet products: frozen meals, bars and breakfast cereals. These products are sold in thousands of very popular grocery stores.
Nutrisystem. This diet focuses on the glycemic index. This is a rating system that describes the nature of carbohydrates. A carbohydrate that scored highly on this index is one it releases its energy extremely quickly. When you eat these foods causes a rush of sugar into the blood. You get a burst of energy than you crash quickly and you are hungry again almost immediately. the diet provides you with prepackaged food that contains exactly the correct amount of low glycemic index carbohydrates in order to provide you with a stable energy burn. You will not experience a sugar rush, you’ll feel more satisfied, and you will not be hungry when you eat these low glycemic index prepackaged meals.
