NONE: In my humble opinion, there is no best fad diet since they dont teach you good nutrition or proper eating habits. Some dont even stress portion control. You can eat all of this or that you want. I suggest learning moderation, eating a variety of healthy foods in good balance. Exercise and activity should be a part of your life as well. Fresh fruits and vegetables- 5-7 servings a day is good start.

Diets: Fad diets are marketing ploys to promote a concept that has more to do with making money than with a well-balanced diet that promotes long-term compliance conducive with a healthy lifestyle. Many of these diets are also low calorie diets. A low calorie diet is a diet that provides extremely low calories in order to produce significant weight loss. They can be unbalanced and cause problems.
