How should I choose a diet plan?

Choosing a diet plan depends on your goal. An expert panel convened by U.S. News & World Report scored the most well-known diets. The panel distinguished between the best weight-loss plans (Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig), best diabetes plans (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) and Mayo Clinic), and heart-healthy plans (Ornish and Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC)). This is not a one-size-fits-all list.

Also, some people choose eating plans like raw food and vegetarian diets for reasons that have to do with philosophical viewpoints or concerns about how food is prepared and manufactured before being sold in supermarkets.
