It's seems like you hear about a new diet plan all the time. Low-carb, meal replacement, plans where you purchase your meals, plans that teach you a new way to eat ... the options are limitless. I wondered what diet plans you have tried:

  • 29 percent of you have given Weight Watchers a try. With online and in-person meetings to choose from, Weight Watchers has great built-in support. Weight Watchers teaches nutrition and exercise habits to last a lifetime. "That's Fit" reader Julie said, "I have tried many diets in the past, but what finally worked for me was Weight Watchers. I lost 50+ pounds and have kept it off for two years and counting."
  • 23 percent of you have tried more than one plan. I know this is where I fall! Switching diet plans isn't a bad thing if the plan you're on isn't working for you. Just be sure you're not diet hopping because you aren't seeing immediate results. Weight loss isn't meant to be instant ... slow and steady wins the race.
  • 16 percent of you tried The Best Life. Though the plan is different, The Best Life is similar to Weight Watchers in that it teaches you habits you can maintain for life. After all, a healthy weight comes from healthy habits. Check out more of Bob Greene's advice right here on "That's Fit."
  • 14 percent of you have gone the low-carb route with The Atkins Diet. The Atkins Diet is based on the principle that if you reduce your carb intake (especially refined carbs like white flour and sugar), your body will burn more fat for energy.
  • 5 percent of you have tried Slim Fast. Meal replacement options like Slim Fast give you calorie-controlled bars or shakes to take the place of regular meals. It's not a bad way to jump start a diet, and the convenience of the meal replacements works well for some people. However, "That's Fit" reader Connie said, "Long ago I did the Slim Fast diet. It was boring. I have found that a diet journal with a healthy diet of all types of food works the best for me. I keep track of what and how much I eat and adjust my diet accordingly."
  • 3 percent of you have tried The Zone Diet. The Zone Diet follows the principle of balance. It recommends eating 40 percent carbs, 30 percent protein and 30 percent fat at each meal.
