		Table Definitions
		= Value = Efficiency = Support Value Rating: Includes price of the diet and our assessment of what you actually get for your money. Efficiency Rating: Our opinion of how well the diet helps you lose weight--quickest is not always best, as we value healthy, steady weight loss higher than quick loss likely to rebound. Support Rating: This is our take on the level of support for weight loss and customer service in general. It is the least "scientific" rating, relying mainly on reports we've gathered from the net. Philosophy: In a nutshell, the big idea behind the diet. Support: Only some diet services offer a real support system for weight loss (which studies show improve results considerably), though this doesn't always mean a weekly group, as some online support options are excellent. Cost: Costs for the diet over a given time--this is straightforward for the structured programmes, but is hard to estimate for the book-based diets where you then purchase all the food yourself. Notes: Brief comments on a given diet. For more, read our in depth review by clicking the diet logo, or click Visit Site to be transferred to the actual diet's website.
