Which diet is best for you?

The diet that's best for you is the diet that is developed for you by a professional. The next best is an individualized plan that takes into account several circumstances that are common for a group of people. If you have excess weight, which is concentrated around the middle, the chances are good that you'll benefit from some kind of carbohydrate limitation. The mildest diet offering such a plan is probably the South Beach and the toughest is the clinical-strength ketogenic diet. If you are a young, physically active person with not much weight to lose, a "good" fats, "good" carbs diet can be right for you. A good example is the Mediterranean-type diet, e.g. Sonoma. If your goal is good health AND if self-discipline is no problem for you, than a low calorie diet can be the case. Research showed that calorie restriction can increase life span and lead to a better overall health
