Would you try a diet program based on Consumer Reports?

I once worked for a consumer magazine that covered diet plans, but there was a huge difference. The article dug into the hype of the low-carb diet craze to give the straight scoop. While I did not write the article, I pitched the idea for the article and supplied some helpful knowledge to the editing process.

Consumers Reports actually ranked diet programs, established weight-loss setups. For what it's worth, Jenny Craig blew away the competition. Weight Watchers, which we mentioned yesterday, came in third.

Ranking cars, blenders, and lawn mowers is more practical and makes more sense because they will work the same for everyone who uses them. Diet programs do different things for different people, which is why they don't always do well.

The true test of diet programs is long-term, something that can't be judged in a fly-by basis.

Slim-Fast came in second, and the program consists of shakes and bars. It fails the concept of "program." And Consumer Reports only did famous plans, so your grandma's cod liver oil program wouldn't make the list.

If the information works for you, so be it. You'll get some perspective on diet programs. But chances are that you'll come up with your own solution outside anything Consumer Reports tells you.

no, thank you. I always say that the only diet program will work is that program that is told you by your own body only and no one else.

It's difficult to find well-informed people in this particular subject, but you seem like you know what you're talking about! Thanks
