1. Blood-Type Diet
This diet was designed to navigate different nutritions for each blood type. Experts believe that people with “O” and “B” blood type have different needs when it comes to minerals, nutritions, and vitamins. Not only different blood type but different metabolism also affects your diet. This diet also catagorizes food into three groups: best to consume, neutral, and avoid to consume. Let’s say you are an “O” type.

For approximately 2 weeks, those who are exceptionally discipline with this diet must consume healthy food (yes, no fried chicken and fries!) for 2 weeks straight. If by one day you consume a salt-contained food, then you failed this diet. It might take extra time and thorough preparation for every meal of the day. Drinking 8 glass of water also will help the weight loss. Some reports came and said that one can lose 6-8 kilograms after enduring 14 days of Mayo diet.
3. OCD Diet
Ah yes, this diet was the talk of the town back in 2014 and some still uphold this diet. The OCD diet is a method where one eats during an interval given. When the time interval is closed, eating is prohibited – in other words you’re kind of fasting. Though you are allowed to drink, but nothing with a calorie, so think water and natural tea. Besides that, the diet also consist of a 7 minute workout that one must do to help build muscle mass and shed off the fat. The results varied. Some manage to lose up to 20 kilograms in a months, and others can lose less. While it might be extreme to fast up to 16 hours, those who are in a hurry to reach a certain weight can try this method. For a long term weight loss, the results varies depending on the person.

Fresh fruits, veggies, lean meat, olive oil, fish; cooked in a healthy way is the basic for this diet. Bottomline, this diet prfioritize on balance in serving and intake.
5. Weight Watcher's Diet
The weight watchers diet is having an all time high in today’s society. More people each year are beginning to measure their calories intake by weighing each food group (the carbs, the protein, the veggies). This diet is one way to maintain a healthier lifestyle and avoid eating out or consuming junk food. The tricky part is eating accordingly to your body (weight, height, BMI etc.) by measuring each time you cook a meal.
