Guiliano believes that French women are at the top of the game when it comes to eating right, in moderation, while balancing their real life demands.

From there you will add veggies, fish and fruit to your plate. After this initial phase you are allowed to eat whatever you wish as long as you focus on the core tenants: quality food, in proper portions, that fit her basic guidelines. Guiliano also stresses that you should give yourself a cheat day every once in awhile as a reward for sticking fast to your diet. If you want to give this weight loss diet a try then you’ll be better served by seeking out Guiliano’s book or going to one of the many online support groups that focus on her program.

The final diet on our list of excellent weight loss programs is the Best Life Diet. This diet allegedly got Oprah Winfrey back in shape and so it definitely comes with clout behind it. The core tenant of this diet is to adapt your lifestyle so as to keep the weight off in the future. You’ll start off with four weeks of ‘baby steps’ wherein you prepare yourself for change. During this phase you should get more active, get your metabolism going all while detaching yourself from ‘bad foods’. The next four weeks of your time will be spent keeping your calories in check by following strict portion control that doesn’t allow for over or emotional eating. After that phase you will keep gearing up your physical activity while avoiding sugar and trans fat. It is in this final phase that you should grow comfortable and start enjoying your diet. The hope is that by this final phase you will have changed your diet so completely that you will not ever go back to a regular ‘unbalanced’ diet.
