Discover Your Diet Destiny!
Find out what diet best suits your personality, lifestyle and needs

So you want to start a diet but don't know where to start. And you don't want to waste time on a plan that's not going to work. Picking the right diet is not just about what foods you eat, or in what quantities. It's about how a diet fits your lifestyle, needs and personality. If you don't like balancing your chequebook, you probably won't succeed by counting calories. What you want to assess is whether a diet suits your habits and is something you can stick to.

To help you make your decision, we created this handy quiz to guide you to the diets that are best matched to your personality and way of life. By answering the questions below, you can discover the programmes destined to help you lose weight.
