I was surfing around the new and improved AOL Food today, and I came across this A to Z Guide To Diets. It doesn't have every single diet, of course (how could they when there's a new diet book out every week?), but it has the one that you're probably on or are thinking of trying, including The 3 Hour Diet, The Abs Diet, Atkins, Blood Type Diet, Bob Greene, Cabbage Soup, Dr. Phil's Diet, Fat Flush, Fat Smash, Grapefruit Diet, L.A. Weight Loss Diet, NutriSystem, Sonoma, Ultimate New York Diet, Ultrametabolism, Weight Watchers, and The Zone.
The only plan I've tried is The Abs Diet, because it's not only sensible and realistic, it promotes a lot of exercise and not starving yourself or cutting out a ton of foods you like to eat. But I cringe at the word "diet." It just screams "temporary fix," and keeping the weight off and your body healthy is a life-long plan.

I agree that the solution to being overweight requires life-long changes to eating habits and physical activity. But everyone has a diet (this is what we eat); it is not necessarily a weight loss "diet." The word "diet" has developed a bad rap! This kind of black and white thinking is what causes a lot of eating disorders. We need people to realize that a healthy diet (not food restriction plan)that supplies adequate nutrients, enough calories to maintain a healthy weight, and daily physical activity (even walking or climbing stairs)LONG-TERM--not just for a few months before bikini season!--is THE solution for EVERYONE!!!

i totally agree, dieting options are so overwhelming and prey on the weak (ie. me).
i just read a really interesting discussion on how much you'd pay to lose weight over at wiredberries : http://www.wiredberries.com/fitness/2007/04/how_much_is_30_pounds_worth_to.asp
