When choosing a diet or weight loss program that is effective for you, there are many things to consider. Here are a few essential things to remember:
Lifestyle and preferences
To improve your chances of losing weight and keeping it off, it’s important to choose a diet that can easily fit your lifestyle and food preferences
Realistic approach
Similarly, look for a diet program or pattern that’s realistic and sustainable. Steer clear of diets that are overly restrictive or promise a quick fix for rapid weight loss.
Calculate whether diet costs fit into your budget.
If you can't afford to follow a diet, it won't work. Diets that only allow organic food and include a number of trendy 'superfoods' can be expensive, as can diets with strict lists of 'allowed' foods that make it impossible to grocery shop based on what's in season or on sale or to choose frozen vegetables instead of fresh.

Effectiveness
Select a program that’s backed by research and has been shown to be effective for weight loss.
Whole foods approach
Look for a program that emphasizes eating whole foods and be cautious of those that require you to purchase expensive products or supplements to get results.
Lifestyle approach
Weight loss is about more than just what you eat. It’s important to choose a program that incorporates other healthy habits, such as regular physical activity and mental wellness practices.
If you have other underlying health conditions or are taking any medications, be sure to talk with a trusted healthcare professional before making changes to your diet.
