Looking for a Diet Review?
We've investigated several Diet Plans
for you.
Chef’s
Diet:
Do you want to know
the secret to how celebrities stay so fit and slim? We have the answer for you,
its….Chefs Diet! The gourmet line of freshly prepared meals and snacks have
helped their clients, including many Hollywood celebrities, to find a healthier,
easier, and more enjoyable way to reach their weight loss goals.
I’m so tried of
reading magazines and see all those celebrities with great bodies, even with
such a busy schedule, but have time to stay fit. I have tried many different
diet programs, and usually the food doesn’t taste as great. When the food
doesn’t taste good it is so much harder to stick to the program. You can ask
anyone who really loves food and appreciates it. They will tell you that as much
as they want to lose weight, they can’t give up eating their favorite types of
foods. Why can’t the foods I love to eat be more healthy and taste just as good?
I’ve outlined the
pros and cons of Chef’s Diet below:

your own home and stay healthier!

South Beach
Diet:
If you are a person
who wants to lose weight and learn to eat healthier, then the South Beach Diet
is for you! The South Beach Diet is not low-carb or low-fat. Instead, the South
Beach Diet teaches you to change the balance of food you eat to emphasize health
and weight-loss. You'll remove your intake of bad carbs and bad fats, and start
eating good fats and good carbs.
This is a perfect
diet for someone who is feeling unhealthy and wants to better their eating
habits and get in shape. You would especially feel this way when you just had
your physical check up recently and your doctor is telling you what you need to
work on to stay healthier. The South Beach Diet teaches you how to control
you’re eating portions and teaches you what are the good/bad carbs and fats.
There are three
phases you’ll go through. 1. Start Losing Weight, 2. Reach Your Goal, and 3. The
Final Change. South Beach Diet will help you through this entire process.
Here are the Pros
and Cons:
The
Pros:
In the First
Phase:
• You can eat: normal-size helpings of meat and seafood
• You'll
have plenty of vegetables, eggs, cheese, and nuts.
• You'll have salads with
real olive oil in the dressing.
• You'll have three balanced meals a day.
You'll eat great foods and satisfy your hunger.
In the Second
Phase:
• Once you have rebalanced your diet and body, you'll be able to bring
back a number of foods.
• You'll still be on a diet, but if it's bread you
love, you'll have bread again. You'll bring pasta, rice, cereal, and potatoes.
You'll bring back fruits, wine, and even chocolate.
• The South Beach Diet
will teach you exactly which carbs are good and which are bad.
In the Last
Phase:
• Not only will you maintain your weight, but you'll be eating right.
• The foods that the South Beach Diet emphasizes are almost universally
considered healthy eating choices.
To Start:

$5 a day must pay quarterly and need to have minimum of 14 wks commitment. You

• Once you sign up on line you get dieting tools to help
you keep on track.

potatoes, pasta, or baked goods. No fruit, even
• You also won't eat candy,
cake, cookies, ice cream, or sugar for two weeks. Also no beer or alcohol
•
So, you must have restraint for 2 weeks
Jillian
Michaels:
This is perfect for
someone who is dedicated and wants to lose a lot of weight fast, but they just
need some guidance. This takes a lot of dedication because it can be hard when
you have to change your lifestyle and there isn’t someone physically there to
motivate you. So, if you are a person who wants to change and want to learn how
to do it on your own, this is the program for you.
Jillian has combined
years of training experience with the weight-loss secrets from her success on
NBC's hit series The Biggest Loser to create her new online
program.
Jillian's triple-threat approach to success is:
1. Self: Learn
how to change your behaviors to finally reach your goals
2. Science: Eat
right for your metabolism
3. Sweat: Train your body for serious weight
loss
Here are the Pro’s and Cons:
The Pros:
•
There is a guideline for Jillian's 7 Steps to Behavioral Modification
• 100
slimming recipes
• Meal Plans and Menus for your body type
• Customized
info on your metabolic rate
• 120 printable exercises you can do from
home
• Cardio workouts that you’ll enjoy
• Its cheap $4 a week and you can
cancel anytime!
The Cons:
• This may be really hard
to stick too because you need self discipline and motivation.
Duke Diet and
Fitness: This is a great diet program because it’s almost like having your own
doctor to help you through the program. We all know when consulting with a
doctor it is always much more comforting. So, for those of you who like going to
the doctor for advice, this is the program for you. They will map out everything
you need to do step by step.
Here are the Pros and Cons:
The
Pros:

Personally, I think this program is nothing
special. You can get all these benefits with the other diet programs as well. I
think if you were to go with Nutrisystem, Weight Watchers, and South Beach Diet.
You will get better results!
