File of the week: top 50 most used diets
Have you ever tried a diet? Are you still yo-yoing? Did you go on a diet that worked? Everyone is different. There is no miracle method. Every body is different. Our file will allow you to see which diets are most used. This should not prevent you from going to see a specialist when it comes to your health.
As much loved as criticized, Doctor Pierre Dukan designed a method that is used by millions of people. He has written no less than 19 books on the subject, for almost 3 million sales worldwide.
While most diets are (far too) restrictive, the Dukan method advocates a return to the founding foods of our species. How did our distant ancestor eat? With 100 foods in total, divided between the animal and plant worlds, the Dukan diet takes place in 4 main phases.
- The attack phase. Based solely on the absorption of animal proteins (choice from 72 foods). This period allows you to lose weight quickly.
- The cruising phase. You will be able to choose again from the 100 foods selected by Dr. Dukan.
- The consolidation phase. It allows the gradual return of “small pleasures”.
- The stabilization phase. This is the period that should allow you not to yo-yo. It must be followed to the letter.
What are the benefits of the Dukan diet?
- Low risk of danger. All foods are natural, and the restriction on quantity is almost non-existent.
- The attack phase will allow you to lose your first kilos fairly quickly. It’s always encouraging when you start a diet.
- No constraints on meal times, or even quantities. You can therefore do your diet anywhere (work, home) without cutting yourself off from others.
What are the disadvantages of the Dukan diet?
- This diet consists only of protein. Some people may therefore be at risk of constipation.
- Excess meat and eggs can raise your cholesterol levels. Don’t hesitate to vary the meat with the fish and not consume too many egg yolks.
Whatever happens, and as we will usually say in our file: top slimming diets, it remains essential to consult a doctor before starting any diet.

This rather atypical diet is based on your biological clock. Taken up by many athletes, chrononutrition has the advantage of making you eat the right foods at the right time.
How it works? Eating certain foods at the right times will allow you to avoid storing fat, and encourage your body to draw on those already present. This diet is based on 3 main principles:
- Meal times. Set your alarm, don’t miss the time you have to eat. You will need to get into the habit of eating as soon as you wake up and then wait a certain amount of time to eat breakfast. Same for dinner.
- You know what time to eat, but you will also know what to eat. Depending on the meals, chrononutrition will tell you which food group should be consumed or not.
- Depending on your BMI, this diet will determine the quantities of food for each meal.
What are the benefits of the Chrononutrition diet?
- Unlike many diets, you will be allowed to eat plant-based fatty foods, as well as energy-producing carbohydrates.
- You will not have any particular restrictions on foods. Very little risk of deficiencies
- As with any diet, motivation is key. Being able to eat everything will allow you not to be frustrated and to stay motivated.
- The main constraint is the rigidity of schedules. You should definitely not miss your meal time
- Socially, you may have to eat before your colleagues or your children, which may pose life problems in the medium term.
What are the disadvantages of the Chrononutrition diet?
Typical day of the Chrononutrition diet
Breakfast. Bread/butter/cheese
At lunch. Meat with little fat (poultry or steak 5%) / Potato or pasta
At dinner. Fish or poultry / raw vegetables / fruit
Who doesn’t know the Weight Watchers diet? A true phenomenon over time, it has now been more than 40 years since this method was developed, the Weight Watchers diet is more of a program than a diet strictly speaking. this method is based on a method of assigning points, for each food. You have the choice to eat whatever you want, or at least whatever will not harm your program, by counting the points for each meal.
