To diet simply means thinking about the quality and the effect your food will have on your health. It does not mean losing weight, starving yourself or restricting yourself to ugly foul tasting meals. I have listed numerous diets that are fairly popular right now and given a brief description (along with my unsolicited opinion of course) of each. Almost every one of these diets will work for most people. The simple reason for this is that we are watching what we eat probably for the first time in a while on any diet we choose.  The problem with dieting is that eventually we have to eat normally again and the weight comes back on since we have not learned how to eat properly. A well balanced, pure live food source diet is always your best choice.   Learn to eat correctly and you will be able to eat almost anywhere without constantly adding inches to your waistline!!!

Word Of Caution- before embarking on any diet plan that might seem extreme or restricting, please consult with a medical professional. There are so many crazy diet books and plans out there today that it is impossible to keep up. The absolute best way to stay fit and lower your fat percentage is with a well balanced diet, some good cardiovascular work and some resistance training for the upper and lower body.
