As you may already know, there are countless fad diets to choose from, but which will actually work? There are some, although I must admit that there are not many that are feasible for a long period of time, but here are the top three for your consideration. Before I begin, please let me give you a valuable piece of advice; do not do something that you do not think you can stick to, here is why: Learned helplessness. This is a condition where a person tries over and over but fails each time, after so many failed attempts they finally give up. You don't have to fall into this cycle, just realistically look at what you are willing to do, and what you are not.
Diet number one, on my list, is The Mediterranean Diet, I have followed a variation of this diet for the past three years, and for me at least, it works great. I am a vegetarian, so I changed the fish, cheese, and yogurt out for soybeans and other vegetarian friendly foods. If you are a big meat eater, than this diet is not for you.
For the meat eaters, you may find the South Beach Diet to be more appealing, so this is number two. This diet consists of lean meat, eggs, dairy and veggies. Once again, if you are into meat, this is a good choice for you.
Last on the list is the Atkins diet, although I question how healthy it is. From my perspective, that is of a vegetarian, this couldn't possibly be healthy, but I included it because my wife has lost a lot of weight by following this diet and she still swears by it. If you are not familiar with it, the basics are that you can eat only meat, with very little of everything else.
