Best Diet to Lose Weight: What Works and What Doesn't.

So, you want to lose weight, but you don’t know which diet to choose. You’ve heard about Paleo, Atkins, vegan, and gluten-free diets, but you’re not sure which one is right for you and your lifestyle—not to mention which one will help you lose weight the fastest. The good news is that there are lots of effective diets out there (many of which have been around for decades), so if your favorite diet isn’t cutting it, check out some of these other options and choose the one that works best for you.

Cold cuts

You probably already know that lots of processed meats like hot dogs, sausage, bacon, and cold cuts are high in sodium. Sodium makes your body hold onto extra water, which can make you look bloated. (Here are other common sources of hidden salt.) So go easy on these kinds of meat. You don’t need to cut them out completely—just limit them a bit if you’re trying to lose weight. For example, you could choose turkey or chicken cold cuts over pork or beef versions.

Ice cream

The cold, creamy treat tastes great and is hard to resist, but before you go into an ice cream frenzy, remember that overindulging can put pounds on your body that aren’t easy to lose. If you really want a sweet snack, try one of these protein-packed frozen treats instead. Here are some of our favorites. Have fun!

Soda

If you want to lose weight, for goodness’ sake, don’t drink soda! Regular soft drinks are loaded with sugar and calories. Even diet soft drinks can have upwards of 130 calories per 12-ounce serving. If you need something sweet at a party or function where there is food available, try drinking unsweetened ice tea or sparkling water with a splash of fruit juice—in moderation. And if you’re trying to lose weight, try avoiding all sodas, diet included.

Fried foods

You’re probably thinking, What diet allows me to eat fried foods? It’s not a traditional diet, but rather one that focuses on reducing inflammation in your body. The three-week plan outlined by Men’s Health magazine works by first starving off pounds of unwanted fat, then eliminating sugar from your diet entirely. It’s not about eating lots of protein, though—the low-calorie eating plan emphasizes carbs like fruits and vegetables.

Fast food

One of the worst culprits in many diets is fast food. This food is notoriously unhealthy, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find healthier choices on fast-food menus. With a little sleuthing, you can find lower-calorie options or small swaps that will save calories without sacrificing taste. Fast food restaurants also often have healthy sides available—if you're willing to look for them (and if they're not hidden at bottom of your combo meal).

Snacks

The word snack typically sends shivers down people’s spines, thanks to its unhealthy connotations. However, snacks are a quick and easy way to lose weight -- if you choose wisely. Opt for healthy high-protein snacks like Greek yogurt or hummus with veggies. If you want something sweet, try dark chocolate or melon with mint leaves instead of cookies or candy bars.

Supplements

There are many supplements on the market that claim to boost your weight-loss progress, but it’s difficult for even well-educated consumers to know which ones work. For example, beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) is marketed as a nutritional supplement. But does it live up to its hype?
