Researches at Harvard University have conducted a study of 2,831 people, and discovered that those who ate breakfast every day were 44 percent less likely to be overweight and 41 percent less likely to suffer from insulin resistance--a precursor to diabetes--than those who had no a.m. meal.

Pomegranate juice may help stave off heart attacks. According to recent studies scientists gave 8 ounces of pomegranate juice daily to a group of men and women who had experienced poor blood circulation to their hearts, a strong prediction of a future heart attack.
Zone Diet – The “Zone” of the title is not a place, it is a state of being within the body that, according to this plan’s proponents, exists when the hormones that are governed by the foods that you eat are in the right balance, i.e., neither too high nor too low. This diet seeks to keep the user in that beneficial place to assist in losing weight.
TOPS stands for Take Off Pounds Sensibly, and it is not a diet per se. It is a support organization similar to Overeaters Anonymous, though not as drastic. Members can share fitness and nutritional tips with each other in meeting settings, but the organization itself does not endorse any meal plan or philosophy. If you feel you can benefit from a group support format, this might be helpful. Remember though, support is just one element of a successful diet plan, and not nearly enough for the vast majority of people.

Slim Fast has been around for a long time, and most of us are familiar with their products through their rather aggressive advertising campaigns. You drink a shake for breakfast, another one for lunch, and have a healthful meal for dinner. They have also branched into the meal replacement bar market, as an alternative to their shakes.
The Skinny Pill Diet is based on Edita Kaye’s Skinny Pills, which you take twice a day. The food plan is based on the premise that you should eat your carbs and fiber for breakfast, take a Skinny Pill, then concentrate on healthful protein for your other meals of the day. And you take another pill after dinner. If you stray from the carbs-in-the-morning plan, then there is another pill you are encouraged to take to “protect” you from getting fat.
The Relacore product begins by making an incredible claim – simply stated, a bulging midsection is “not your fault”. It’s stress that’s causing you to gain weight, not your eating habits, or your lack of physical activity. It’s that “nasty little hormone” cortisol. And what will Relacore do about this startling revelation? Read on…
The Perricone Diet is not a method for losing weight at all, though that result may occur as a side effect. Dr. Nicholas Perricone is a dermatologist who has designed a food plan that he claims will reduce the signs of aging, lower inflammation in the body, and give you better protection against some diseases. His tenets are drinking lots of water, choosing whole grains and legumes, healthful proteins, and lots of fruits and vegetables. He does not offer sample menu plans, or talk about reducing calories, fat, or anything of that sort.
