Diets A-Z

Madonna is a Macrobiotic fan; Kylie likes Montignac, and Posh drops pounds by following the Japanese diet, but what are these diets all about and are they suitable for you? Our nutritionist Suzannah Olivier has whittled down a vast array of plans - from celebrity-endorsed to medically approved - to give you the good, the quirky and the ugly in diet world.
 

The good

Eating sensibly has never been so easy with diets like the GI diet, Weight Watchers and Slimming World. They provide healthy eating guidelines for life and don't leave you feeling denied. Your energy levels will soar, you'll maintain a healthy weight and you'll be looking radiant in no time.
 

The quirky
We're not saying diets like Atkins and The Zone are bad, just to exercise a spot of caution. Healthy eating is all about finding the right balance for you and some of these diets are a little too on the restrictive side of good sense.
 

The ugly

Diets like Scarsdale, The Maple Syrup Diet and The Cabbage Soup Diet are just plain bad; bad for your taste buds, bad for your health and disastrous for your social life. Do you want to go out for dinner with someone who refuses to eat more than a lettuce leaf?!
