Then we have the Mediterranean Diet. This is a plan that is good for your heart. It will allow you to eat foods that are commonly found in the Mediterranean regions like olive oil, fish, whole grains, vegetables and even red wine.
The Zone Diet makes a point about a balance in the ratio between carbs, fats and proteins. This diet is great for those who would like to eat healthier and it has no deprivation system.
Now the Gluten Free Diet does exactly what its name says. It gets rid of the gluten that is found in foods like wheat, bread, crackers, pasta and cake. This is an ideal diet for persons with gluten intolerance.
The 3 Day Diet allows three meals per day but there is dramatic weight loss. It should be pointed out here that the weight that you have lost is mostly water. This is a good diet for those how are looking to look slim temporarily for a special occasion.
Sacred Heart Diet is a seven day diet that involves a healthy soup made of tomatoes, onions, celery and carrots. It was created to help overweight patients lose extra weight prior to surgery.
Then you have the Negative Calorie Diet where the emphasis is on eating food that requires more energy for the body to consume than the calories it actually has. Celery, watercress, cucumber and apples are some of the negative calorie foods.
The Lemonade Diet also goes by the name of the ‘Master Cleanse Plan’. It is a juice fast where you make a drink using lemons, maple syrup and cayenne pepper. This diet can be effective but you have to keep away from solid food for ten days.
