Weightloss Diets - Which weight loss programme is right for you?

There are so many diets and weightloss programmes available now that it is difficult to know which one to choose.

This page offers a summary of the diets we have chosen to initially review. The reviews will be added to over the coming weeks and months, so keep checking back if you can't find a plan you fancy.

Weightloss Diets:

The Atkins Diet - Low carb diet, high protein, high fat. Eat until you are full and only eat when you are hungry.

Cabbage Soup diet - 7 day, low calorie plan. OK for a special event but not recommended for long term, sustained weightloss.

Glycemic Index Diet (GI Diet) - Low carb plan. Splits carbs into good, medium & bad so is a much more balanced alternative to the Atkins diet.

Grapefruit Diet - Short term, low calorie plan. OK for a special event but not recommended for long term, sustained weightloss.

Jerusalem Diet - New diet from America, with days you eat fruit & nuts and exercise; eat normally on other days. For those who can't beat cravings.

Mediterranean Diet - More a healthy eating plan than a weightloss diet; then, by choosing healthy eating, weight loss comes naturally. Long term plan.

Perricone Diet (The Facelift Diet) - Not only lose weight but beat puffy eyes & reduce wrinkles. Is it too good to be true?

Rosemary Conley - This diet is the only one that comes complete with an exercise programme. Lose weight & tone up!

Slim Fast - Tried and tested plan that people either love or hate. Low calorie diet that still provides all essential vitamins.

Sonoma Diet - Based on the Mediterranean diet, this Californian alternative is also more a healthy way of eating.

South Beach Diet - Basically a low carb, balanced diet set in stages - good fats and good carbs, and lots of delicious food.

Weightwatchers - Tried and tested plan with support group and a new "No Points" option. Low fat, great for healthy, sustained weight loss.

The Zone Diet - A celebrity favourite diet - A good, healthy, low-carb, weightloss diet
