Are you crunched for time but desperate to lose some weight? The Ultimate New York Diet might be for you. You don't have to live in New York to follow it, but you do have to make a commitment to the plan -- and it's strict eating program. Depending on what phase your in, the protein-heavy diet bans a number of foods. And exercise is a must -- though with the 10-minute specially-designed workout, you can get your exercise in anytime, anywhere.

The Ultimate New York Diet was developed by David Kirsch, of Extreme Makeover fame. A diet coach to Heidi Klum, his plan is perfect for the busy person who just can't find the time to put their weight first.
