In the market of diet plans (most of which target women), there are at least a dozen plans that immediately come to mind. If you are ready to lose weight and keep it off, and this your first attempt, you might be wondering which diet plan to choose. Which one will help you lose the most weight? Well, first, you have to look at some of the pros and cons of diet plans before you make your decision. 

Cons

Diet Plans Are Meant to Be a Lifelong Thing

The biggest reason why any packaged and marketed diet plan fails is because it is meant to be a lifelong change. People think that they can use the plan to lose weight and that they do not have to do anything else after they lose the weight. Their mistake is assuming that once they "get thin" they can revert back to old eating habits. They get mad because their diet plan failed, when the fact is, they failed the diet plan. They did not stick to the plan and did not make these changes in eating, drinking, and exercise that were supposed to be lifelong changes. If you are not ready to commit to lifelong changes in habits, it does not matter what plan you choose. 

Some Diet Plans Do Not Include All Food Groups

This is one of the most difficult things for people to navigate when they choose a diet plan. You may be given prepackaged foods to consume for different meals of the day, but there are limited amounts of fresh produce in the diet. Sometimes there is no dairy or proteins. People are expected to add these missing pieces of the diet plan's puzzle, and they do not know how. What happens next is not surprising. These diet plans fail because the people using them did not incorporate the missing foods in the correct daily allotments. 

Pros

All Diet Plans Can Succeed

Actually, that should read, "All HEALTHY diet plans can succeed!" Yes, you read that right. If you stick to the plan, follow the plan, pay attention to the instructions on how to add certain foods that may be missing, get daily exercise, and do not stop when you have reached your goal weight, your plan succeeds. When it is a habit every day for the rest of your life, it succeeds. 

There Are Diet Plans That Show You How to Cook Healthier

Diet plans show you how to make healthier versions of everything you already eat. You can use these recipes to make small changes in how your family eats, too. Some of these changes are so simple your family will not even know they are eating healthier, and you will get trim and fit in the process.
