Abstract There are several types of weight-loss programs available to the overweight population. Choosing the appropriate diet can be a challenge. There are self-help programs, online programs, clinical programs, group programs, and weight-training programs, just to name a few. There are as many differences in these weight-loss programs as there are similarities. The ultimate choice is completely up to you. One has to find what works for them and their current lifestyle. Lifestyles can involve choices that you make in order to lead a healthier more fulfilled life. Making the step towards a healthier lifestyle is a commitment that can only come from within. Battling the Bulge and making it a Lifestyle Welcome to the new millennium! Since the battle of the bulge is still on the rise, so is the search for the latest and greatest fad diets! All of us are asking ourselves the same questions. What diet will work for me? How can I loose weight and keep it off? What is considered a healthy and safe way to lose weight? I chose this topic as my personal interest, because I too had these questions, and I wanted answers fast! I wanted to lose weight because I was tired of seeing an unhappy person in the mirror every day. Thus, I took control, joined Weight Watchers, and I am 33.2 pounds lighter, and I feel great! “A diet is a regulated selection of foods, as for medical reasons or cosmetic weight loss.” (http://www.dictionary.com). “A lifestyle is a way of life or style of living that reflects the attitudes and values of a person or group.” (http://www.dictionary.com).
