Many diets: Are available. Depending on your weight, how much you need to lose and medical condition (diabetes, fatigue, cancer, heart disease, etc.) different diets are recommended. Healthy diets include: the zone diet, hypoglycemic ketogenic diet, dr. Ornish's low fat diet (good for reversing heart disease, breast and prostate cancer).
