Health is the number one issue facing many people today. It is evidenced by the popularity of various fitness programs and exercise routines available. Diets have also become a trend lately and are a good complement for your chosen routine or program.

Here are a few modern lose-weight diets that are popular today:

• Jillian Michael’s 30-Day Shred. Includes 3 separate workouts composed of high-intensity exercise for strength, form and power. It is designed for those people looking to lose those last 10-20 pounds or so. It is supposed to help them do so in 30 days although this is not a guarantee.
• South Beach Diet Supercharged. This version is updated with new meal plans, expanded recipes, information on the latest nutrition research and even has a three-phase workout regimen (which was missing in the previous version). It also includes some success stories for inspiration.
• Weight Watchers PointsPlus Program. The program encourages smart choices but allows you to enjoy the foods you love balanced with nutritious choices life fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains. It also encourages an active lifestyle (unlike many diets).

There are a lot of lose-weight diets out there but the best one should always be able to help you realize your goal and fit into your lifestyle. You need to choose wisely in case you decide any of these. Before choosing, it is best to remember what your personal goal is. Make one if you have not done so already. (“I want to lose my extra 50 lbs in 6 months” or something like that.) It is also recommended and practical to choose a diet that will best fit your lifestyle. It should be able to provide you with a balanced nutrition and not deprive you of any food group or nutrient.

Another very important point to remember is: It is very important to stick with your chosen lose-weight diet. A research comparing several popular diets found that more than the type of diet, the key to losing weight is sticking with a diet. Commit to a diet and persevere until you get results you want!
