As we've discussed time and again on That's Fit, if you're interested in losing weight, there's no quick-fix solution. You're never going to find a diet that magically makes the pounds disappear if you're not willing to work hard, exercise, and eat healthier on the whole.

That being said, about 41% of American adults are trying to lose weight, and there are tons of diets out there for us to try. As you might suspect, some work better than others.

Consumer Reports ranks the best diets in their upcoming summer issue, but here's a quick breakdown on who they chose for those looking to shed pounds.

Volumetrics: a diet that focuses on eating "low-density" foods like fruits and vegetables.
Weight Watchers: participants attend weekly meetings and weigh-ins as motivation.
Jenny Craig: with a combination of one-to-one meetings and pre-packaged food, this is a great diet for those who can stick with it.
Slim-Fast: another one that's tough to stick with, but will help you in the long run by replacing meals with shakes and energy bars.

Bottom line is, you'll have to find the approach that works for you, but hopefully this will help you weed out the fad diets from those that actually have a chance of working.
