Easy Solutions In Regard To Diet Plans

By Ron Stucky


When it comes to choosing a diet plan, it can be as difficult as sticking with the one you choose. The problem is, there are thousands of diets to choose from, and they often contradict each other, so how do you know who to believe? The following are some of the advantages and disadvantages of some well known diets to help you find the right one.

You may have heard of diets such as the 1500 Calorie Diet that are based on limiting your intake of calories to a certain figure every day. The best thing about this particular program is that it does not limit you in regard to what you eat as long as you stay within the recommended range of calories each day. What you need to do is make sure the portions in your meals have a breakdown of 40% protein, 30% carbs, and only 30% fat to help you reach your goals. Simply stated, by counting the total calories in every snack and meal that you eat every day, you will at some point reach your goals. If you're going to try a calorie based diet, just make sure you don't choose one that's too extreme for your body's nutritional needs.

Some people believe that the best and safest way to lose weight is by eating only raw foods. As the name suggests, on this type of diet you eat no cooked foods at all. You can eat vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, and grains. This diet is rather extreme, however, and not everyone is willing to try it. However, many people have found that they feel better, have lost weight and have more energy on a raw foods diet.

Starving yourself is one guaranteed way to not lose weight so do not try it. To stay healthy while you are dieting, you must never restrict the proper amounts of nutrients that you require to keep your body in shape. As a rule, eating less than 1000 calories per day is not a good idea, and this number varies based upon your gender and how big you are. When the body detects that it is not receiving enough nutrients, you will find yourself gaining more weight after losing it to stay healthy. Though you will gain some weight back, using a detox system for internal cleansing may help you shed a few pounds quickly.

Never, we repeat never, ever starve yourself as a form of dieting. To stay healthy while you are dieting, you must never restrict the proper amounts of nutrients that you require to keep your body in shape. Depending upon your size, and whether you are male or female, eating less than 1000 calories can be very dangerous and unhealthy. No matter how hard you try, starving yourself will always lead back to weight gain despite any loss you may initially achieve. A better alternative are detox programs that actually attempt to cleanse your body in a short amount of time in an attempt to lose weight. We've looked at some diet plans and their benefits and drawbacks. With such a large assortment of dieting programs on the market today, obviously this article does not cover all of them. Diet programs with new and improved twists are made month after month. If you have not made your mind up on what dieting system to utilize, start off slow by making sure you exercise regularly, and limit your meals in size but not in nutritional value.
