New Diet Revolution created by Dr. Atkins. The program is based on a diet that trims down carbohydrates and promotes high protein. It encourages dieters to take in as much meat and vegetables they want, but avoid pasta and bread. Fat is not prohibited, so the dieter can use as much salad dressing they need and liberally spread on their butter. Fruits and grains are allowed, but in limited amount. The dieter may be found lacking on the needed fibers and calcium after the diet while having more fat than necessary.

Carbohydrate Addict’s Diet as created by Drs. Heller. The diet plan encourages low carbohydrate eating. It is alright to eat meats, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grain products. Eating food with too much carbohydrate is discouraged. So-called reward meals can be eaten, but these can have too much fat contents.

Choose to Lose made by Dr. Goor. Fat is the culprit and it has to be restrained. In this diet plan, a person is provided with a fat budget that he has to consume as he chooses. No pressure is given to him regarding his carbohydrate intake. It is alright to eat meat, poultry, seafood and low-fat dairy. There is no prohibition too with regards to eating bread and pasta, fruits and vegetables and cereals. We can consider this weight loss program healthy because there’s an ample amount of saturated fats and fruits and vegetables as well. Triglyceride levels should be watched though. If it gets high, cut the carbohydrates and take in more unsaturated fats.

The DASH Diet. This weight loss plan is primarily designed for dieters with low blood pressure, advocating moderate amounts of fat and protein in the diet as well as high carbohydrate intake. All though it encourages people to eat healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy, and whole wheat grains, some think it promotes too much eating.

Eat More, Weigh Less by Dr. Ornish. The diet is strictly low-fat and is primarily vegetarian. The “glow” foods could be eaten, but dieters should watch out for egg whites and non-fat dairy. This diet takes in too little calcium and discourages eating healthy foods such as lean poultry and seafood.

Eat Right for Your Type. The diet plan is interesting as it is based on a person’s blood type. People with type O blood can eat plenty of meat for. Some blood types have nutritionally imbalanced diet plans and are too low in calories. This is a little controversial because of lack of substantial proof on the effects of blood type to a person’s dietary needs.

The Pritkin Principle. This program is focused on trimming the body’s calorie density through eating foods that makes the person full easily. Some approved foods include vegetables, fruits, oatmeal, soup, salads, and low-fat dairy products. Downsides to this program include limited protein and low calcium intake.

Volumetrics. For low-density calorie eating. Recommends the same foodstuff as Pritkin but restricts fatty or dry foods like popcorn, pretzels and crackers. This plan is reasonably healthy given the high amounts of fruits and vegetables as well as being low in calorie density and saturated fats.

The Zone. This weight loss program is moderately low on carbohydrates yet high on protein. It promotes low-fat protein food such as chicken, fish, veggies, fruits, and grains. Though it is essentially healthy, this plan lacks in calcium.

Weight Watchers. High carbohydrates, moderate on fats and proteins. A very healthy diet plan and very flexible too. it allows the dieter to plan his own meal rather than give him a set to follow.
