Certain religions, including Judaism and Islam, also impose strict restrictions on diet, but these are not usually thought of as "dieting".

So what is the grapefruit diet all about? The grapefruit diet promises that you can lose up to 50 pounds in as little as two and a hald months time. Are you kidding? Not only is this type of weight loss very unhealthy, but is also nearly impossible without totally depriving your body of nutrients.

Weight Watchers was founded in the early 1960s by Jean Nidetch. It has evolved over the years from a food exchange system that gave a set number of calories and food exchanges to follow for each meal and snack. Now Weight Watchers is a points based system whereby points are assigned for each food based on fat, fiber and calorie content and each person is set a points target for each day and they can eat any variety of food that adds up to that total, each person is responsible for meeting their own targets. The Weight Watchers program is conducted in a group support system with weekly meetings. Weight Watchers has a global network of support groups meetings involving over 20 million people. Weight Watchers also offer an online program for those who do not wish to attend weekly weigh-ins. It also offers Weight Watchers Winning Points plan, Weight Watchers Products, Weight Watchers Magazine and Weight Watchers e-Tools.

In 2004, a Canadian court ruled that foods sold in Canada could not be marketed with reduced or eliminated carbohydrate content as a selling point because carbohydrates were determined not to be a health risk, and that existing "low carb" and "no carb" packaging would have to be phased out by 2006.

In the UK, Weight Watchers advertises under the slogan "where no food is a sin" in reference to its chief competitor Slimming World's system of giving some food "sin" values.
