Here’s six fool-proof ways to find out whether the diet you’re about to follow is a scam. With so many fakes out there, making more and more outrageous promises, it’s difficult to separate the geniune weight loss plans from the dud diets.

These six signs are based on research by Christopher R. Mohr from The University of Pittsburgh, and reprinted by eDiets."

Zone Diet Offers Most Appealing Menus

The Zone Diet, when compared to others really offers tastier diet food. The LA Times compares delivery companies for all the major diet plans:

It's all in the delivery: "
I found that the companies with the most appealing menus operated along Zone diet guidelines. That is, each of three meals and two daily snacks is balanced with 30% protein, 30% favorable fats and 40% carbohydrates, reportedly to keep a dieter's blood sugar levels steady. A few firms also promised that snacks would be made of fresh food, not prepackaged protein bars.

That sounded good to me, and needing to lose a few pounds anyway, I tried three of the newest daily-delivery companies for one week each: Zone Los Angeles, Zone Chefs and Fresh Dining. All their menus promised a level of cooking unseen in most diet programs. Each used nutritionists to help develop meals; each offered short-term tryouts, delivered across a wide area and allowed for at least minimal customization. The prices ranged from $30 a day for a one-time promotion to $55 for a gourmet, organic program.

None of the services required that I navigate a complicated menu or delivery chart. I simply phoned each to arrange delivery and place my special requests. "

New Low Carb wine - What's it all about?

Good news for wine enthusiasts! You can now drink wine while doing the zone diet.

Here's what it's all about:

WTNH.com - New Low Carb wine: "Want to live a low-carb lifestyle but think you have to give up the wine? Think again.

There are now low-carb versions of vino on the market.

But what about taste?

Jerry Passaro works out several times a week. He follows a low carb diet. One that continues on the weekends.

'You want to go out to party with your friends and have a good time, but still be very conscious of these extra carbs, calories it all equates.'

They're holding a wine tasting at the Fitness Edge in Milford tonight--- with a twist. The wine is billed as being low in carbohydrates. Is there a place for wine in a low carb lifestyle?

Cheryl Aronson, Milford, says, 'I'm not a big drinker. If the low carb wine tasted good I'd drink it, but I'm not going to go out of my way to buy a low carb wine.'

'Everything in moderation' is what personal trainer Bob Kron tell his clients. He's worried about the sugar in low carb wine.

'Even though it's low in carbs, they have to still ferment it somehow, having that in the glass or bottle of wine doesn't really make it that much better for you.'

Charlie Letezio, owner of Pond Point Wine and Spirits, is watching his carbs on the Zone diet.

He says the California wines named 1.6 and 1.9 offer people on Atkins or South Beach an alternative.

'This was off a lot of people's menu's. This can bring it back to them.'

This low carb wine has half the carbs of regular wine, but how does it taste? We put it to the test.

The verdict: they like it. However, even though the carbs are low, the calories are about the same as a regular glass of wine."

I haven't tried it yet, but I'm waiting for someone to send me a sample....

Is The Zone Diet Just A Fad?

The Zone Diet has been attacked by Pat Kendall, Food Science and Human Nutrition Specialist at the Colorado State University.

Pat writes:

Zoning In On The Zone: "The Zone Diet includes both healthful and not so healthful recommendations. It promotes eating regular meals, which is good, and is low in calories. Most people who follow The Zone Diet lose weight, and for obvious reasons. When the author uses himself as an example, he says he should consume a mere 1,332 calories a day to follow the diet. This is considered a low-calorie diet even for a small woman. It's a very low-calorie diet for Sears, who stands 6-foot-5- inches tall and weighs 210 pounds. So, while the diet is low in calories, it's too low in calories to serve as a long-term diet regime."

Whilst Pat has a point, don't most diets recommend in some way or the other that you should reduce your intake of calories/fat/carbs whatever to lose weight?

Pat's conclusion to the article is even more harsh, stating:

"The bottom line is that The Zone Diet is based on half truths, mixed messages and theories not yet grounded in peer- reviewed research. Further, the long-term effects of the proposed diet have not been examined. Like other reduced-calorie diets, it will support weight loss for most individuals. But just how healthy and permanent the weight loss is, remains to be seen."

I find this really unhelpful. Pat doesn't make recommendations for people desperate to lose weight safely, and Pat does not give a balanced view either. The plain fact is that none of the modern diets have been proven over a long-period of time, and it's a proven that when you stop any diet and go back to eating normally, you will put on weight.

So the article reads like an attack on the Zone Diet.

Food for thought.
