Comparing
the Major Diets
Why are there so many diets that come and go? It is
because nobody has got it correct just yet. Bodies are different and
respond differently to various foods, but in general we believe that
the best diet you can be on is a healthy eating pattern that you will
be able to easily follow for the rest of your life. Part of success is
desire, do you want to have a slim and trim figure or would you rather
just eat? If you are not committed to reducing or maintaining a good
figure then you don't need to read up on diets. But if you are
seriously committed to good health we feel it is worth reading the
diets below:
