From low carb to low fat, high fibre to no sugar, a million weight loss plans exist that promise to have you svelte and slender in no time. But everyone's metabolism, body frame, lifestyle and activity levels are so different; how do you know which is the right weight loss plan for you?

A diet based on low carbohydrates might sound great if you're not a fan of bread or pasta, but is not be your best option if you are an active individual. Carbs provide the body with fuel and when they are restricted, the body will automatically become sluggish from relying on proteins and fat for energy.

Many vegetarian diets inadvertently become high carb ; these diets must be balanced with an appropriate amount of exercise. Since carbohydrates provide the body with the power to move, any calories that are not expended simply turn to excess fat. High carbohydrate diets may also cause your blood sugar levels to fluctuate dramatically, leading to future weight problems and the risk of diabetes.

On the other hand, vegetarian diets can end up low protein if you do not consciously integrate enough eggs, beans, tofu and soy protein into your diet. Low protein may work well for low calorie and low fat diets, but females who plan to become pregnant need to make sure they consume enough protein, folic acid and iron to prevent birth defects and complications.

Low fat weight loss plans are great if you balance them well, but restricting all fat from your diet will only cause your body harm. Your organs, brain, skin and internal systems all require some fat to function properly; the key is choosing monosaturated, vegetable-based fats rather than the unhealthy saturated fats gleaned from meat and dairy. A number of medications require a certain amount of fat to work in your body; consult your physician before changing your diet if you feel this includes any medicine you are taking.

A high fat diet, which is usually based on plenty of protein and few to no carbs, may sound great of you love cheese and meat, but is not the best option if you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol or risk contracting heart disease.

High fiber diets are great for lowering cholesterol but if you don't require a large amount of fiber in your daily diet then you risk experiencing side effects such as constipation, diarrhea, cramping, bloating and flatulence.

A high protein diet may unintentionally become high fat if you do not choose your protein sources carefully; red meat, full-fat cheeses and eggs should be avoided in favor of lean cuts, low-fat and skim dairy and egg whites.
