This diet requires cutting back on, or preferably eliminating, processed foods, like sugary drinks and packaged snacks, and limiting red meat. People must only focus on whole foods, such as fruit and veggies, fat-free or low-fat dairy, whole grains; and lean meats, fish, and poultry.

If you are a working professional pressed hard for time to follow another complicated diet, this one is for you.

MIND Diet

MIND is an abbreviation for Mediterranean-DASH intervention. It is a blend of the Mediterranean diet and DASH diet.

Dukan Diet claims to produce rapid, permanent weight loss without hunger. It is a high-protein, low-carb weight loss diet. While there are a lot of high protein-low carb diets, Dukan is more methodical and long term that gives you time to adapt. There are four phases of such a diet:

1. Attack Phase (1–7 days): eat unlimited lean protein plus 1.5 tablespoons of oat bran per day.
2. Cruise Phase (1–12 months): Alternate lean protein one day with lean protein and non-starchy veggies the next, plus 2 tablespoons of oat bran every day.
3. Consolidation Phase (5 days for every pound lost in phases 1 and 2): Unlimited lean protein and veggies, some carbs and fats, one day of lean protein weekly, 2.5 tablespoons of oat bran daily.
4. Stabilization Phase (indefinite): Follow the Consolidation Phase guidelines but loosen the rules as long as your weight remains stable. Oat bran is increased to 3 tablespoons per day.

Wild Diet

Wild Diet emphasizes locally farmed, organic, whole foods, with the exception of whole grains. The diet emphasizes meat, seafood, and non-starchy vegetables, allows for fruit and dairy on occasion, and eliminates grains entirely.
