| How it Works | Nutrisystem works through portion control, using low-glycemic foods and plenty of protein. You eat often, throughout the day, so you don't get hungry.
You add in fresh fruit, vegetables, salads and dairy items. Not for vegans, but they do offer a vegetarian program. |
Jillian Michaels is all about calories in vs. calories out. She'll tell you how many calories YOU need to eat to lose weight and how to choose the right foods. You'll also burn off the fat through exercise. | Instead of low carb, the South Beach Diet is "good carb" diet. Phase I is what I call the Craving Buster phase! For two weeks, you eliminate the worst of the bad carbs from your diet: sugar. Phase II lasts as long as you have weight to lose. You start adding in more good carbs — one at time. Phase III is simply a maintenance phase. By this time, you’ve lost all the weight you wanted to lose; it's a matter of keeping it off, permanently. |
It all depends on which diet plan you choose. eDiets.com's featured plans include low carb, low fat or low glycemic (just to name a few). They also have "healthy living plans" like wheat-free, heart healthy, low sodium and cholesterol lowering plans -- again, just to name a few. eDiets.com now offers meal delivery plans, too!
