Do you feel like you are in a rut with your weight loss? Are you getting frustrated with the scale? Maybe you need to try something different. Check out one of the diets listed below:
The South Beach Diet
The South Beach Diet is a three-phase plan that starts with eating fewer carbohydrates, except for essential vegetables, while consuming lean protein. After about two weeks, dieters add in more complex carbohydrates including bread and chocolate. The basis of the diet is to teach which foods are nutrient dense and what are healthy portion sizes.
Example Of Foods To Consume: Phase 1: vegetables, eggs, cheese, nuts, beef, fish; Phase 2: reintroduce bread, cereal and potatoes

Weight Watchers
Weight Watchers has expanded to consist of group sessions, personal consultants and online support. There are two plans to choose from: a Flex plan that lets a client eat the foods they want, but control the amount with a point system; or a Core plan that doesn't tally points, but consists of only nutritious food.
Example Of Foods To Consume: Depends on which plan is chosen

Glycemic Index
A diet that is often chosen by diabetics, the Glycemic Index, or GI Diet, ranks carbohydrates according to their effect on blood glucose levels. It promotes consumption of low GI carbohydrates because they keep blood glucose and insulin levels steady, rather than fluctuating throughout the day.
Example Of Food To Consume: certain fruits and vegetables; whole grains such as oats, barley, and bran; basmati rice; some pasta; quinoa; chick peas; plain yogurt; and skim milk
