Diet Reviews from a Pro!

Diet Reviews From A(tkins) to Z(one)

As your personal nutrition guide, it's my goal to help you wade through the oodles of diet plans and weight loss programs on the market.

When I review a diet, I'll tell you what each program involves - the pros and cons, the likelihood of long term weight loss (part of that is whether it's a diet that a normal person can stick to!), and of course my own professional opinion, as well as the results I've seen in my 15 years as a registered dietitian.

Check back often as I'm continually writing new diet reviews. See the little white box on the left margin of this page? It contains four different ways you can sign up for my nutrition blog and be the first to know when I've reviewed a new diet!

You'll even have the opportunity to write your own review of a weight loss plan or program you've tried. That's first hand information that I know will be valuable to other dieters!

Why is the table in three different yellows?

Because the watchwords with popular diets is Caution! The first column is in the lightest yellow because these are the diets that have had the most research done on them! The third column is in the darkest, most Cautiony yellow because so little is known. But...

Just because a diet has been studied doesn't mean it'll be safe and/or effective for you. The best diet is one made just for you, one that fills your nutritional needs and your taste needs! That is, a diet you can sustain and make part of your regular lifestyle.

If you want help formulating just such a diet, I hope you'll contact me. I have 15 years experience offering people just that kind of help!

Hey!

I'll bet you have experience with at least one of the diets on this list. Well, then how about telling my visitors about it? Just fill out the form below...

Because the greatest form of expertise is experience, and one of the greatest gifts you can give is sharing yours. Thanks!

Have You Ever Been On A Specific Diet? Tell About Your Experience!

The best source of information on a particular diet is someone who has tried it. That could be you! If you have first hand experience with a well-known diet plan, then tell us...

Did you lose weight? Were you able to keep it off? Are you still on the diet? How did you feel when you were on it? Would you recommend it to others?
