Mediterranean diet
 
This weight loss program is inspired by the eating habits of Mediterranean countries like Southern Italy and Greece. It involves high consumption of bread, wheat, cereals, olive oil, red wine, fish, fruits, and vegetables. It is considered as a type of best weight loss program because it is high in dietary fibers and monosaturated fats, and low in saturated fats.
 
Detox diet
 
This is a regimen that involves a change in eating habits to detoxify the body. Detoxifying the body removes unwanted toxins and other kinds of contaminants that are harmful to the system. This claims to improve health, energy, mental state, and digestion, as well as resistance to diseases. This is done through fasting, calorie restriction, master cleanse (also known as the lemonade diet), increased consumption of fish, food combination, and increased consumption of fruits and vegetables.
