Which Diet Is Better To Get A New Body?

OK so I've got to go on a diet or get a bigger mirror. Besides not wanting have a mirror that won't fit my dresser, I don't want advertising agencies trying to rent my body for ad space. In short, I don't want to look fat, lazy, and like a person with no self-control. I want my love handles, thunder-thighs, and flabby belly gone. I am ashamed to admit it but lower down on the scale is also my desire to not have a stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure, or a coronary. It is time to trade in this old body for a new one and since there are no dealers in my area—if I get that coronary I might be connected to a dealer—I'll just have to go on a good diet. But which diet is better?


Fact: Obesity rates are soaring in the U.S.

  • Between 1980 and 2000, obesity rates doubled among adults. About 60 million adults, or 30% of the adult population, are now obese.
  • Similarly since 1980, overweight rates have doubled among children and tripled among adolescents – increasing the number of years they are exposed to the health risks of obesity.

Which Diet Is The Best Priced?

For me the question is, which diet is the better to follow, to allow me to cheat once in awhile, that follows safe health rules, that does not cost me an arm and a leg—don't want to lose the weight that way—and it should help me lose weight quickly. Since I have done the research on which diet is the best, I thought I might share my results. I lost 42 pounds and it wasn't that hard. In fact, the benefits I have received far out weigh—no pun intended—any inconvenience my dieting might have caused me. It was actually fun watching the scales drop and a decent looking body emerge from the depths of fat.

I looked a which diet is better starting with popular diets like Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers and then I looked at on-line and ebook diets. I think the best way to share the answer to the question which diet is the better is with a chart.

Which diet is the better for me?

If you have a lot of money to spend you could use Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers. Of the two Weight Watchers is the best because they allow you room to chose your own foods, but if you use their foods the diet is expensive. These diets have a proven track record, but in my opinion they are not the best ones out their.

The hCG diet has only two things going for it, cost and quickness. You can read about my experience with it in my hub The Skinny On The hCG diet.

The Strip That Fat diet is very friendly and even fun to use. I got to use my own foods and I could add variety to my diet. This one of the better diets as far as I am concerned.

The Every Other Day Diet is also one of the better diets. This diet is a lifestyle diet rather then just a weight loss diet. You can "Cheat Your Way Thin" with this diet. I loved the fact that I could still eat in restaurants and have hamburgers and fries. It also features the new SNAPP system that replaces calorie counting. Again this is one of my favorites.

Turbulence Training is a kick butt weight training calorie burning exercise plan. It isn't exactly a boot camp, but you do have to commit 45 min, 3 days a week to it. This one is a must if you want a well defined, beautiful body.

No matter which one you chose or if you find one of your own, I can tell you that finding out which diet is better and following it will make your life 100% better

Thanks, I am somewhat of a dieting junky because I always slip a little after each diet. I never allow myself to get back to my high weight, but I am an emotional eater--sigh. Anyway I love Strip That Fat and The Every Other Day diets the best. I lost the most weight on Jenny Craig and the hCG diet, but it was not as easy or natural as Strip That Fat and The Every Other Day Diet which has got to be the easiest diet on the planet.
