Diet Reviews

As an increasing number of Americans are experimenting with diets, the types and varieties of diets are expanding.  Today, diets are designed for either long term or short term health, and are also suited for variety of physical, mental, and emotional needs. 

Short Term Weight Loss Diets

Short term weight loss diets are also commonly referred to as “fad diets.”  These diets are only designed for immediate results, and are neither sustainable nor realistic for long-term use. 

Examples of popular “fad diets” are:

  • The Cabbage Soup Diet
  • The Atkins Diet
  • Fasting Diets
  • The All Juice Diet

Long Term Weight Loss Diets

Long term diets are also commonly referred to as “lifestyle diets.”  These diets are intended to promote adaptable and realistic changes in order to promote both overall health and physical weight loss. 

Examples of popular “lifestyle diets” are:

  • The American Heart Association’s No Fad Diet
  • Bill Phillips’ Fit For Life
  • Bob Harper’s weight loss books
  • Bob Green’s Fit For Life
  • Ben Lerner’s Body by God

Calorie Counting Diets

Calorie counting is a popular method among dieters seeking both long and short term results.  A calorie counting diet requires that individuals keep track and monitor the number of calories consumed throughout the day. 

By keeping track of the amount of calories consumed, dieters can determine how much activity / exercise is necessary in order to lose weight.  Ultimately, dieters should strive to eat fewer calories than the amount of calories burned.  For example, if an individual burns 1,500 calories per day, then he or she must eat less than 1,500 calories from food. 

Examples of popular calorie counting diets include:

  • Jenny Craig (although “points” are calculated instead of caloric numbers)
  • The Diet Chanel’s “Low Calorie Diet”

Meal Based Diets

Meal based diets are similar to calorie counting diets in that they are designed for either short term or long term success.  Meal based diets encourage dieters to change poor food choices, while also prohibiting many unhealthy foods.

Examples of popular Meal Based Diets include:

  • Jorge Cruise’s Three Hour Diet
  • The Acid Alkaline Diet
  • The Macrobiotic Diet
  • Jenny Craig
  • The Atkins Diet
  • The South Beach Diet

Inner Well Being

There are also many diets that include motivational or spiritual elements.  In such diets, authors often encourage religious reflection, personal journaling, and self-awareness.  Many of the diets that promote inner well being argue that health and weight problems are linked to personal stresses, depression, or other internal causes.  As a result, these diets are designed to help heal an individual from the inside out.  Ultimately, if one feels at peace internally, and/or understands the motivational causes behind poor choices and unhealthy habits, then one will be able to lose weight and become healthy more successfully.  

Examples of popular diets that also promote inner well being are:

  • Body by God
  • Body for Life
  • Fit for Life
