Dieting is the practice of ingesting food in a regulated fashion to achieve or maintain a controlled weight. In most cases the goal is weight loss in those who are overweight or obese, but some athletes aspire to gain weight (usually in the form of muscle) and diets can also be used to maintain a stable body weight.

There are several kinds of diets:

• Weight-loss diets restrict the intake of specific foods, or food in general, to reduce body weight.
• Many professional athletes impose weight-gain diets on themselves
• Individuals who are underweight, such as those recovering from anorexia nervosa or starvation, may adopt weight-gain diets which, unlike those of athletes, have the goal of restoring normal levels of body fat, muscle, and stores of essential nutrients.

More than a health measure, dieting has become a fad todaya and new and varied diet plans keep popping up every week and most of them are endorsed by one celebrity or another.

• How to Eat Like a Hot Chick by Jodi Lipper and Cerina Vincent - The tone of this diet bible is fun (more like talking to your girlfriend than being taught the healthy eating do's and don'ts) and the principles are simple - everything in moderation.
• The Zone Diet by Barry Sears - There's a reason this cult favourite has been big news since the mid-'90s. The rules may be strict (and sometimes hard to follow), but the results speak for themselves.
