How Weight Loss Diets Work
How does Weight Watchers weight loss diet work?
Weight Watchers weight loss diet is a commercial diet organization that
offers a variety of eating plans and aids for weight loss. Members who follow
the selection plan (an exchange-type plan) are allowed to consume a certain
number of servings from each selection group (breads, fruits/vegetables,
proteins/dairy, and fats) each day. For example, if you've chosen to eat
five bread selections per day, you can choose five servings of any item categorized
as a "bread," be it whole wheat bread, rice, a corn tortilla, or
any of the other foods that fall into the bread group. The number of selections
you consume per group per day depends on how fast you wish to lose weight;
the program recommends a maximum loss of 2 pounds per week. Learn more about Weight

are intended to teach participants about portion control while freeing them

What is the Carbohydrates Addict's weight loss diet?
The premise of Carbohydrates Addict's weight loss diet is that there are
people who, for biological reasons, develop unmanageable cravings for carbohydrates
which can lead to weight gain. The authors believe that this results from
an overproduction of insulin, impairing glucose metabolism, and an insufficient
rise of brain serotonin, responsible for the feeling of satiety. The objective
of the diet is to control insulin release by minimizing the carbohydrate
consumption which triggers it. Learn more about the Carbohydrates
Addicts weight loss diet.
