Having numerous friends and family members who've ridden the diet roller coaster over the years—lose some weight, gain some weight, find a new "miracle" diet—I admit I'm a tad skeptical of "diets." Most seem more shtick than substance. No carbs! No fruit! Nothing cooked! Eat grapefruit! Cabbage soup! Twinkies! Eat like a gorilla, like a cave-man, like in the Bible!
Our new diet Ratings bring some sense to the chaos, by using objective measures—how long people stick with the diet, how much weight they lose, how they stack up nutritionally—to rank seven popular diets. And we found a clear winner: Jenny Craig. But we also point out that the best diet for you is the one you can stick with.
And for me, that isn't a formal diet at all, but just simple, healthy eating. That means mostly produce and whole grains, with occasional treats—and lots of exercise. Maybe it's because I'm distrustful of "quick fixes," or just don't think eating needs to be made so complicated. In any case, it's the one that works for me, and I'm sticking with it.
See our new diet Ratings and our tips on how to control your weight.
