Weight Loss Season is Upon Us

Tis the season for people to take the plunge into the newest and latest weight loss plans.

The number of overweight Americans is at a record-breaking high. This epidemic gives way for weight loss gurus to work their magic. Everywhere you turn you hear of another diet plan that will be "The One". There are pros and cons to all of them. Your decision will be based on the results you are looking for. Some points to consider are:


How much weight do you want/need to lose?
How quickly do you want to lose the weight?
How strict of a diet do you want to follow?
Do you have any medical problems that will impact your weight loss?


Here are three popular plans. I think it's hard to say if these plans are the best but they are definitely not the worst.
