Do any of them really work? These diets don't sound very realistic to me. People all over the world are struggling with their weight everyday. Is it the genetics, amount of exercising, or food people eat? I personally believe it's the food in America. I have heard that in other countries they have way smaller portions, no appatizers, and no fast food! Everyone there seems to be fine. The eating habits of Amerians is outrageous. Then people try to do all these fad diets that don't really work.
Weight Watchers is one of the most successful weight loss programs of all time! It's a lenient eating program and varies with all ages. It has an "eat what you want approach" within moderation. This is such a great program that's realistic and doesn't limit you to certain foods that are impossible to stick with. It's a point system. Based on how much you weigh, male or female, and how much you exercise during the day is how many points you get to eat. Certain foods or a food is worth a certain point. Say i could have 23 points a day with 3o minutes of exercise. This keeps your portions in control, but you can eat whatever you want! You could have a piece of cake everyday, as long as you stay within the point range. Basically I think what the program is trying to get across is be able to eat what you want, but keep it moderation. This is definitely something America needs to learn and work on. I have known people who do this program, or who have done it and has been so successful!
