Losing weight is not just about counting calories and restrictions. If you make healthy and nutritive choices, you could eat plenty and still lose weight. This is where Weight Watchers come in handy with their SmartPoints system. No food is off the table, but every food is given points. The healthier the food, the fewer the points. You decide whether you want to spend lots of points on a small amount of junk food, or a few points on an abundance of vegetables. Of course, members are encouraged to spend their points on healthy and nutritionally balanced meals. If you stick to your SmartPoints limit every day, you will lose weight.

Vegetarians and vegans can easily adjust this diet to their preferences.

Several celebrities made this diet very popular. It has very simple rules. You eat 14 jars of baby food (any kind you want) a day and you are allowed to have only one "real" meal a day that includes lean meat and lots of vegetables. Everything else is banned. And that's it.

This diet is meant to be sustained for no more than 7 days. It is not a diet one would consider balanced or nutritionally sound, but it may help you lose some weight since it is highly unlikely you will eat too much, thanks to the portion control and boring taste. Most people will get sick of baby food after one or two days.

Will all that in mind, it this diet is rather difficult to follow and most people will find it hard to sustain for more than a couple of days. But since it is low in fat, sugar, and salt, it can help you clean your body from toxins and jump-start your weight loss.

Vegetarians and vegans can easily adjust this diet to their preferences.
