New Diet Revolution created by Dr. Atkins. The program is based on a diet that trims down carbohydrates and promotes high protein. It encourages dieters to take in as much meat and vegetables they want, but avoid pasta and bread. Fat is not prohibited, so the dieter can use as much salad dressing they need and liberally spread on their butter. Fruits and grains are allowed, but in limited amount. The dieter may be found lacking on the needed fibers and calcium after the diet while having more fat than necessary.
Carbohydrate Addict's Diet by Drs. Heller. This diet plan advocates low carbohyrate eating. Approves on eating meats, vegetables and fruits, dairy and grain products. however, warns against taking in too much carb. "Reward" meal can be too high on fats and saturated fats.

No pressure is given to him regarding his carbohydrate intake. It is alright to eat meat, poultry, seafood and low-fat dairy. There is no prohibition too with regards to eating bread and pasta, fruits and vegetables and cereals. We can consider this weight loss program healthy because there's an ample amount of saturated fats and fruits and vegetables as well. Triglyceride levels should be watched though. If it gets high, cut the carbohydrates and take in more unsaturated fats.

Diet plans for some blood types are nutritionally imbalanced and too low in calories. And for the record, there is even no proof that blood type affects dietary needs.

Fruits, vegetables, pasta, oatmeal, salads, soups and low-fat dairy can be eaten. Protein sources are limited to lean meat, poultry and seafood. It can be considered healthy because it has low saturated fats amount and rich in fruits and vegetables but it is too low on calcium and the sources of lean meat are limited.
Volumetrics. This is designed as a low calorie diet. It recommends the same kind of foods as Pritkin but it strictly limits fatty or dry foods such as crackers, pretzels, and even popcorn. According to the reviews, this diet plan is reasonably healthy for dieters.
The Zone. This weight loss program is moderately low on carbohydrates yet high on protein. It promotes low-fat protein food such as chicken, fish, veggies, fruits, and grains. Though it is essentially healthy, this plan lacks in calcium.
