There are literally hundreds of different diets available in the world today that all promise to help you lose or control your weight.

Sometimes it can be almost harder knowing which diet to choose than actually doing the dieting!

In this section, we evaluate and review many of the diets available and help you make the right choice.

The topics covered for each diet include; the principle of the diet, what foods you are and aren't allowed to eat, the benefits and drawbacks of following the diet, the expected weight loss, some sample meal plans and an overall rating according to effectiveness and general nutrition.

Remember that dieting is a very personal thing and what suits one person may not always suit another. Most importantly, always speak to your doctor before you commence any new diet or exercise program!
