Best Commercial Diets

Following a diet can lead to weight loss and a new, healthier lifestyle. There are plenty of diets to choose from that can fit your budget as well as your preferences.

But the key to successful weight loss is finding the one that works best for you. These five commercial diets are not only popular but have a great track record for their effectiveness.

Weight Watchers

If you choose the Weight Watchers diet, you will safely lose up to two pounds a week after the first initial week of weight loss.

What has helped make this diet sustain its popularity over the years since it was first introduced is that it teaches the people that follow it about making good choices with their eating habits.

The belief is that by choosing foods that are better for you, you not only lose weight, but you feel fuller longer - so you’re less likely to go off the healthy eating program.

The way that Weight Watchers works is not dependent on calories like some diets are. You won’t have to keep track of those. What you will have to keep track of is what’s called SmartPoints.

Each food is assigned a point value and you can choose whatever foods that you want to eat. However, you can only eat up to your point amount if you want to end up with a calorie deficit.

So if you wanted to have that donut, you certainly could. But you would use up a lot more of your daily SmartPoints than you would if you have an apple.

These point value of the food is already figured out for you by Weight Watchers so that you don’t have to do that work.

The way that the value is figured is by the amount of nutrition that food item has. The more nutritionally sound a food is, the fewer points it usually has. Junk food and things that are high in fat are going to be high point value foods.

Things like lean meat choices will be low point value foods. Every day, you’ll start out with your bank of points.

How many points you get will be determined by whether or not you’re a man or a woman, by your current weight and height and by how old you are.

You simply subtract from that bank as you go throughout the day. What everyone loves about this diet is that you don’t have to give up any food and you can customize it for your preferences.

You do have to make sure that you pay attention to the points, because if you consistently eat more than your allotted points, you won’t lose weight. With this diet, you don’t have to join for any specific time.

You can stick with a membership for as long or as little as you like. This diet offers a lot of support for those who are trying to lose weight and studies have shown that having support while dieting is helpful to success.

You can become a member through the in person group meetings or by joining online. You’ll get access to thousands of recipes where the points value has already been figured.

You also have the option to access personal coaching if you want to pay a little extra for that.

Jenny Craig

By following the Jenny Craig diet, you can also lose 2 pounds a week after the initial first week of weight loss. The diet is pretty straightforward. The main emphasis is on lowering the amount of calories that you eat in a day.

The diet also urges followers to limit their portion sizes and to pay attention to the amount of fat they eat in foods.

Since most people often eat too many calories, misjudge portion sizes and struggle to control the amount of fat that they eat, this diet does the hard work for them by giving dieters prepackaged meal choices.

You will choose the foods you eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner from the choices that Jenny Craig offers to you.

It teaches followers how to make good eating choices while you’re on the plan and to limit or eliminate actions that sabotage weight loss efforts.

It also encourages users to get involved in exercise. The diet gives followers access to a personal coach when they sign up for the program.

This support helps to keep dieters motivated as they learn a new, healthier way of preparing meals.

Not having to decipher what to eat on your own is a huge plus with this program. When all the work is done for you, it’s easier to stick with it.

However, the cost of the meals can have a substantial cost and you will have to restrict your eating while you’re on the program to the foods that are recommended and offered as part of the package.

When you sign up for the program, you diet plan is customized and you receive support and guidance as part of the plan.

The plan that you’ll follow will be calorie based around what you currently weigh and how much you exercise.

There are two options when you take part in this diet plan. You can either choose their regular option or you can opt for their lower carb option.

The second choice is offered to people who have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.

During your time on the diet, you will have access to helpful online tools as well as recipes. How long you’ll be on the diet will depend on how much weight you’d like to lose and what your exercise habits are like.

Once you get started on the program, you’ll eat the meals provided for you but the plan does encourage you to also eat fruit and vegetables.

After you reach your goal weight, the program will help you adjust to eating meals that you make rather than the prepackaged ones. You’ll get one on one guidance on how to make nutritionally sound choices.
