There is a glut of diets promising different things, but all promising weight loss. The sheer number of diets on offer can make it very confusing in making an informed choice about which diet is best for you. Of course, you must consider your health and what works best for your body. However, you should also consider cost, before making your final decision.
Most diets cost money, whether it is paying to join a program like Weight Watchers, buying products from a brand like Slim Fast, or simply buying particular foods such as on the Atkins Diet. It all adds up. The table below shows the approximate cost of weekly menus from ten of the most popular diets on the market: the Atkins Diet, Jenny Craig, the Ornish Diet, NutriSystem, Slim Fast, South Beach Diet, Subway, Sugar Busters!, Weight Watchers and Zone Diet.
