prepared to cut back on meat, sugar, alcohol and high-fat foods.

approximately 40 % carbs, 30 % fat, and 30 % protein. Be prepared to give up
caffeine, artificial sweeteners, and snacking.
WEIGHT WATCHERS:
HOW IT WORKS: Foods are assigned point values based on their number of
calories, grams of fat, and grams of fiber. You are given a daily maximum of

can eat anything you want as long as you don't go over your assigned points
target. Be prepared to give up fast foods and huge meals.
MACROBIOTIC:
HOW IT WORKS: Eat only when you're hungry, chew slowly, and divide your
daily proportions along these lines: 10 % brothy soup; 30 % veggies, 10 %

and nuts, and add lots of twig tea. Be prepared to give up caffeine, meats, dairy,
and artificially or chemically treated foods.
