According to a recent healthcare market research report Global Weight Loss and Gain Market (2009–2014), the total global weight loss market is expected to be worth US$586.3 billion by 2014.
That’s huge business.
The problem is, “diets” don’t work for everyone because people view them as a short term solution, thinking they can lose the weight and then stop following it.
Unfortunately, most people follow unhealthy diets which can lead to weight gain, high blood sugar, other issues.
If you’re going to do a weight loss plan – do it for your health and not just to look “skinny”. Curves are gorgeous – don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
If you’re looking to achieve a healthy weight, you’ll need to remember that this MUST be a lifestyle change. You can use a diet plan to drop weight but you cannot go back to your old eating habits. The last thing you want is to be on a “diet” for the rest of your life.
With your new eating habits, you can eat everything – really! – but in smaller portions and in moderation.
So now that we got that part out of the way – what are the best diet plans out there?
Some commercial diet plans, like Weight Watchers and Slim-Fast, are better than others. So how do you choose what diet is best for you?
A group of experts rated the diets for U.S. News, considering each diet’s ability to deliver weight loss, provide good nutrition and safety, and be relatively easy to follow.

Good point! Yes, I agree on the idea of diet that “this MUST be a lifestyle change”. If you just do the crash diets it’ll only result to some sort of disease. Thanks for sharing posts like this and making more people aware. 🙂
I like the part “With your new eating habits, you can eat everything – really! – but in smaller portions and in moderation.” This is very true. It does take time though to shrink your stomach so you won’t feel hungry all the time. Here is a great program I found that lets you eat anything you want, and you only have to do a slight workout 15 minutes per day.
Also, where was the Special K diet? It wasn’t on the list.
If the diet wasn’t on the list, it’s because it didn’t make the list as most effective. There are soooo many out there!
