Welcome to Diet xyz .com

According to a dictionary definition, the verb 'diet' means 'to cause to eat and drink sparingly or according to prescribed rules.' Have you ever been on a diet or known someone on a diet? For almost everyone, the answer is yes. Most people go on a diet to lose weight. A recent study shows that more than 1 in 4 adults are obese! Nearly 2 in 3 adults are considered overweight! Do you know your BMI? Are you overweight?

At 6 foot 3 inch tall and 264 pounds, I was considered obese. But I lost 64 pounds in 35 weeks following the Atkins diet. While I have had some struggles, I've been able to keep the weight off even 2 1/2 years later! For details on my weight loss, see my Atkins diet example.

I started this website to provide information on diets of all types. So far, the Atkins diet has worked well for me. While I believe that a low carbohydrate diet is the answer for most people who want to lose weight, I know that many are successful with other approaches.

I've started with providing links to some of the more popular low carb diets. As time permits, I'll expand this list to other diets as well.
