5.      The Zone Diet

This diet follows a very strict ratio of proteins, fats and carbs including 30% lean protein, 30% healthy fat and 40% high fiber carbs. However, the carbs are to have a low glycemic index to keep you feeling full longer.

Along with weight loss, one of the biggest claims of the diet is to reduce inflammation. While it may control nutrient ratio, this diet is more flexible than others since it doesn’t eliminate any food varieties.
