Who is the Writing Diet for? Emotional eaters who are creative.

How does the Writing Diet work? Part diet, part therapy. By writing what you are thinking every time you eat (and whenever you want to eat), you can identify those feelings that send you straight to the cookie jar. (more…)

What does the Original Hollywood Celebrity Diet promise? It claims that you can lose up to 10 pounds in just two days.

How does the Original Hollywood Celebrity Diet work? It does not. All you need to do is to take 16 ounces of its vitamin-and-herb-fortified juice-like liquid and mix it with 16 ounces of water and drink it. But there is a catch; you cannot eat any other food.

You on a Diet Book: You on a Diet by Michael Roizen, M.D., and Mehmet Oz, M.D., is not like other weight-loss books. It does not focus on weight management. Its focus is on waist management.

It prescribes a 14-day diet plan which is based on three meals a day plus snacks. It is a good eating plan because it spreads out your daily calorie intake throughout the day, which is a good strategy to keep hunger at bay.

You are not allowed to eat simple carbohydrates (think white flour, refined sugar, and anything with high-fructose corn syrup). Products that contain trans fats and an excess amount of saturated fat are not allowed either. (more…)

So what is Perfect Weight America: Change Your Diet, Change Your Life, Change Your World all about?

It is a diet program that tries to be more than just a diet program – which may cause some readers lose focus from the main premise of the book, i.e., help people lose weight – which in addition to telling you how to lose weight, focuses on mental, emotional, and spiritual health. (more…)

The only thing better than losing weight and getting in shape, is doing it quickly, with visible results that often start to appear in just a few days. There are hundreds of diet plans out there that will allow you to lose weight slowly and comfortably, the Velocity Diet, however, promises to melt your body fat much quicker than a typical diet plan.

Do not be fooled, this is dieting on “steroids” or shall I say on clenbuterol? Nah, this diet does not recommend using illegal diet pills, but the Velocity Diet is not for everyone. (more…)
