We put the top diets to the test

Recent research conducted by the British Dietetic Association found that a third of people ended up heavier than their original weight only a few weeks after dieting. Now, does that sound familiar to you?

Fad diets are the kind of regimens where you eat a very restrictive diet or an unusual combination of foods for a short period of time, lose weight, possibly lose a little of your initial interest and then pile the pounds back on.

To give you the low-down, realbuzz has put the most popular diet approaches to the test – the pros, cons and each has been rated on how they satisfy hunger, their ease to follow, expense and most importantly – the impact they can have on your overall health.
