Most of us have dieted at one point in our lives. What we eat is very much a part of our identity.

And very rarely does a waiter in a restaurant receive an order as is, without having to eliminate something from the dish. There are dozens of weight loss regimens and programs to follow, some more known than others. The health industry hasn’t reached its peak yet, with diets, exercise programs, supplements, books, and so on catering to our needs as we push ourselves away from sedentary lifestyle habits. In this piece, I have summed up a list of the most well known weight loss diets and their key points.

If you choose to follow any of those listed, I always recommend that you check with your GP first.
