The Atkins diet is the most common low carb diet, it was created in the 1970’s by Dr Robert C Atkins, the basic principle of this is to cut out most of the carbohydrate you eat while eating as much fat and protein as you want and still lose weight.
Slim Fast is a meal replacement plan and has been proven to be a structured weight loss programme that really works. It has come a long way from the days of just having milkshakes.
The weight watchers programme was developed by Weight Watchers International. Not only does it provide a diet plan, it also offers a complete health program that promises to help people lose weight and keep the pounds off. This is one of the most popular diets all over the world.
This diet was devised by Dr Peter D'Adamo, he believes a persons blood group determines how their bodies deal with different nutrients. It is based on the idea that each blood group has its own unique antigen marker (a substance that the body recognises as being alien) and this marker reacts badly with certain types of foods.
The idea behind this diet centres on eating the right foods at the right time. The initial Beverly Hills Diet began with a restrictive 42 day induction phase. The new one is far less extreme and according to the author meets the recommended standards for a weekly balanced diet.
The negative calorie diet works on the premise that certain foods contain negative calories meaning that it takes more calories to digest than is in them. So you can literally eat these foods in abundance.
It works on the premise that our ancestors were meat eaters and lived on a meat based diet, as we have evolved carbohydrate have been introduced into our diet more and more causing an imbalance and leading to weight gain.
There is no calorie counting no weighing food portions and no more feeling deprived from good tasting satisfying food. Not only will you be able to have three normal size meals a day also snacks will be allowed.
This is a very low calorie diet, there isn’t an official version but there are a number of versions revolving around eating as much soup as you want but not much else. This diet is aimed at people who want to drop a few pounds in a short space of time for a special occasion.
