What's really the best diet?

Food on a scale


In the spirit of shorts season, Consumer Reports recently ranked the top diet systems, and picked Jenny Craig as their favourite. We were surprised - processed foods, really? - and asked a naturopath and a dietitian for a second (and third) opinion. And the results were shocking! Here's what they said:

Jenny Craig
Consumer Reports: Their team was convinced by research that found that 92 percent of people stayed with the program for two years, and on average, the dieters weighed eight percent less at the end. They also liked their nutrition, support, and short-term weight-loss results.

John Dempster, ND: "I like that you get some good counseling in the one-on-one support; the funny thing is about dieting is that we're all so focused on food, but we forget that there's this huge emotional component to weight gain. This is definitely one of the better diets. But it doesn't take into account any food sensitivities or allergies."
