4 Best Diets of 2008
Let's take a few minutes and review the 5 best diets of 2008.
I will list them in order from 1-5 and talk a little about each one here so you have a chance to see the differences and pick the best one for you.
That is the key though, some diets are good for some but not for others.
This will give you a chance to browse the best diets out there that are working for other people just like you.
1.
NutriSystem - No big surprise here, Nutrisystem has been around for years and many others have seen the effects of this diet.
This is not a fad diet that is just a flash in the pan, here today - gone tomorrow diet program.
Nutrisystem takes the headache and hassle out of dieting by pre-packing meals that are already balanced on their diet.
It costs about $280 for 5 weeks of food on their buy 4 get one free program.
Not too expensive, this is nice too.
The diet is based around a 1200-1500 calorie intake per day diet.
If you don't want to have to worry about weighing portions or anything like that this is a great diet for you.
2.
Medifast - Medifast has been around for decades and at one point was only available through a doctor's recommendation.
That in itself speaks volumes for sure.
The Medifast diet is similar to Nutrisystem in that they offer pre-packed meals, but the replace your old eating habits with a 5 meal rotation through out the day, with one of those 5 being a true meal (with lean meat, veggies, and salad).
#2 in our best diets list is based around an 800-1000 calorie intake per day diet.
3.
The South Beach Diet - The new Atkins style diet, The South Beach Diet is also a low carb diet, but is a more heart healthy approach.
Both Atkins and The South Beach Diet were created by doctors, both are best selling books, and both have a fairly severe induction phase followed by a long term eating plan.
There are no specific calorie intake restrictions, but there are restrictions on the food you can eat at all.
Potatoes, bread and beer are strict no-no's on the South Beach Diet.
4.
The Sonoma Diet - As the name suggests, the Sonoma Diet is kind of like sitting and enjoying a day in the vineyards of the Napa Valley.
The first 10 days on the diet you get rid of all foods that are high in sugar or saturated fat.
White rice, potato chips, butter, fruit juice, sausage, and bacon all disappear from your sight on this diet.
Some things you may find at a high class ritzy restraint in the Napa Valley are what's on the menu, Greek Salad with Grilled Shrimp, Mushroom Omelet, and Steak and Blue Cheese Wrap are what's for dinner.
The Sonoma Diet focuses around food enjoyment rather than food deprivation.
Surprisingly, you have probably heard of all of these diets.
Many of the fad diets that have taken the market by storm before seem quieted this year.
I am very happy with this years list because these diets have stood the test of time and there is a truly diverse selection of diets that you can take on to fit your lifestyle.
If you are the busy person that just doesn't have time to weight out your portions or if you enjoy preparing your meal for an hour or more there is something for everyone here.
