Losing Weight With the Minus Diet Super Soup Diet

13. Januar 2010

MINUS DIET SUPER SOUP

1lb. bag of baby carrots rinsed

2 cups fresh spinach

1/2 bunch of celery

1-4 cloves of garlic

1 red or green bell pepper

1 stalk of broccoli

1 cup of brown rice(uncooked)

1 large can of diced or stewed tomatoes

2 packages of onion soup mix

Mrs. Dash’s herb seasoning to cover top of soup ( your choice of mix)

Large 2 gallon stock pot (stainless steel)

Cut up all the above ingredients. Add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Simmer for 1 hour.

This makes enough soup for one for about 1`week.

Many people prefer to start the diet on a Monday, or on the weekend on a Saturday, when working people have time to cook, and do their other chores.

This soup will be your main meal for both lunch and dinner. However, if you want to follow my modified version, or use this as your week off meal, then you can add chicken breast to the soup, or eat a lean meal of chicken, steak, or other lean meat with a side salad with a light vinagrette dressing that is apple cider based.

I recommend that you eat at least 6 times per day. Three main meals and 3 snacks. Or 3 main all negative calorie foods and 1 main low fat dinner with your family or by yourself, if you are single. Always make enough soup so that you don’t run out and have none to eat. That is a sure way to sabotage your success.

You absolutely cannot afford to drink less than one gallon of water or so per day. You can squeeze some lemon or orange juice into the water (they must be fresh). Drink before and after your meals if you can.

If you work outside the home, make sure you have containers or thermos to carry your soup with you for lunch or dinner. I disagree with the negative calorie diet here again. I think you can have diet beverages like flavored water, that are sweetened with Splenda ™ and drink green tea(decaffeinated) or Oolong, or some herbal tea. I think you can have 2 glasses of skimmed milk a day, too. A diet you don’t stay on is no diet at all. You can make it a raw food diet with soup or also do some juice fasting. For one of the best compendiums on fasting and juicing see both my book YOur New You, 30 days to Transform Your Body and Dr. How and When to Be Your onw Doctor which is a great public domain book that has detailed instructions on both plain water and juice fasting by a natural medicine Doctor and Registered nurse. I include both books for 34. 95 and inclusion into membership into my diet and fitness clubs. You can purchase membership in either one for only 19. 95 separately. I include many bonus e-books and active forums where you can interact with other men and women trying to lose weight and get into shape just like you. The Minus Diet membership site is located at www. minusdiet. com and Your New You – Transform your body in 30 days is located at www. yournewyou. com. I promise you that with a little will power and determination, you can lose at least 3-5 pounds per week or more and keep it off for good, if and only if you follow the plan. How much you lose depends on many factors, including body type, age, metabolism, and if you have any underlying chronic conditions like diabetes or thyroid problems. You can reduce your need for insulin by taking natural substances like cinnamon, but you absolutely must follow your health practitioners instructions to the letter if you have a chronic condition like these. IN NO CASE CAN YOU REDUCE INSULIN SAFELY without being carefully monitored by a physician. You must have him or her look at the plan and give you any modifications necessary to ensure your health and safety. Don’t get discouraged. You can still lose weight safely, naturally, and effectively even with these conditions. It will just take more care, and maybe a little bit more time. The main thing to remember is that you CAN do it! If I can, you can! You absolutely, however, even with all these fake promises, never really lose weight quickly and effectively without a combination of diet and exercise. There really is no such thing as a “magic pill” solution or permanent weight loss without exercise.

Between meals, try to drink water or another beverage mentioned above, before you eat your snack of fruit or celery or carrots. You can also have a fruit smoothie made with fresh fruit and ice. Strawberries, blueberries, or a mix with grape or carrot apple juice is good, too. I recommend that you get a juicer. You can get a juicer at Canadian Tire for less than 150. 00. There is nothing like fresh juice to detoxify and cleanse your body. Nothing tastes better, either. Consider this diet a modified raw food diet with just a little bit of soup added. A sensible dinner, too, if you want to follow that modified plan. It is more effective if you stay on the straight, Minus Calorie diet for one week at a time, going back to a modified form on the off weeks, eating at least 70 to 80% minus or negative calorie foods.

In any event, no more junk food. Eat fruit instead or drink a smoothie or some juice. You can add two protein drinks a day or substitute one for one meal, but that will make the diet less effective, but make the hunger pangs less. Remember, those with more than 10 pounds to lose, need to do it gradually to keep it off, anyways. 3 to 5 pounds a week is plenty fast enough. You may lose more with exercise, but in any event, no diet will help you lose it faster, and help you keep it off, if you follow it properly.

Remember to reward yourself with a night out, or something small, but nice for yourself. Don’t go crazy, and mess up your diet, though. You can drink up to 6 glasses of juice per day, plus lots of water. The juice must be negative or minus calorie, though. Apple/Carrot or Grape watermelon, or orange juice or strawberry cranberry or mixed will work. Cherry can be added in season.

Breakfast is the pillar meal of the day on this diet. Eat the fruits recommended, but you can substitute oranges or tangerines for the other fruits if you wish, but you will need to eat more. Eat until you are full, but not stuffed.

BREAKFAST FRUITS

Cantaloupe

Grapefruit

Watermelon

Honeydew Melon

Oranges or tangerines

Papaya

Pineapple

Strawberries

You can mix these fruits or eat fruit salad, if you want, as long as these fruits are used. These fruits contain enzymes that help you digest your meals all day long.

SNACKS

This list is short. You can eat any of the above fruits or Apples, Celery, or carrots. You can also take a smoothie made of the above fruits or one of the minus calorie fruits listed previously or in combination. Six glasses of fresh fruit a day is recommended. It must be freshly juiced in a juicer, though. No, canned or frozen juice. No diet soda, either. Stay with the above recommendations. I think you could get away with one frozen fruit bar a day. Nothing else, though. Anything else, and you have failed. Salad makes a good snack, too. Stick to vineagrette dressing or olive oil and cider vinegar, though.

1ST DAY

Breakfast: Eat the fruits mentioned above until comfortably full. Eat slowly and deliberately, savoring each mouthful .

Snack: I don’t recommend you skip your snacks. You will be tempted to eat outside the diet if you do. Drink water or juice or a smoothie before the fruit and vegetables, though. You will feel full, sooner.

Lunch: Eat some soup. The more you eat the better. Just remember, full, not gorged. You can eat some salad with a light vinaigrette or olive oil and vinegar dressing, if you want.

Snack: Same as the first snack, just eat something different, for variety’s sake.

Dinner: Eat one or two bowls of soup. If you can eat more if you want to. Eat as many vegetables as you want from the list. Eat a piece of fruit, too. No meat or fish for the first day. Drink 6 glasses (8 oz) if juice today. Use your juicer. Carrot/apple is a favorite. Strawberry/grape or Cranberry/apple or grape would be great, too. Drink plenty of bottled water. Squeeze fresh lemon juice or orange juice in the water if you wish, for flavor.

Snack: One more or smoothie

That is all for today. You can do it! You only have 6 more just like it. With a few surprises, as well. You can almost feel the fat melting off your body. Don’t weigh yourself on the scale until the first week is up. Then you will have something to celebrate!

If you are a diabetic make sure you keep your servings to what you are allowed under your diet. No more.

Dinner: Great deal! Tonight, you can have chicken or fish, after you eat at least one bowl of soup. Measure out no more than 10 oz. of fish or chicken. All that time without protein, means you need some now. If you prefer, or are a vegetarian, you can substitute black beans for the meat or fish. Just cook some or heat up a can for your self. Have some salad for a side dish. Even a few servings with a light vinaigrette or olive oil and vinegar salad dressing. You can have some water or some green tea or herbal tea too. If it’s warm out make some iced tea. Just don’t add any sugar. Use stevia instead for sweetening, or a little honey.

Drink some juice about 30 minutes after breakfast or have a smoothie? Great!

Snack: You know it by now. Have some fruit. Mix it up. First, drink your juice. 2 glasses if you forgot your after breakfast juice. Drink some water, too. Then, eat the fruit. Have some green or oolong or wulong. Does it work, let me know at the forum.

You should be feeling really firm, now. Tomorrow is weigh yourself day, and reward yourself, day. Just have a smoothie or something light. Keep up the good work. If you have more than 10 lbs. to lose than alternate your Minus Diet restricted weeks with your relaxed diet. Otherwise, what you can do is to add meat, lean beef or chicken or fish with dinner. That will slow down your weight loss initially, but you can make up for it over the long run. You will still lose 3 to 5 pounds a week if you are exercising. You CANNOT lose weight without some form of exercise and keep it off. Your just fooling yourself. But you can make it a form of exercise you enjoy. The exercises I will show you next , will be fun, effective, fast, and easy.

That is the best form of exercise. One you will do, on a regular basis.

DAY 8

It’s the big day you have been waiting for with bated breath. Weigh yourself first thing in the morning. If you followed the plan, you lost some weight! Celebrate by doing something you enjoy. If it’s exercise in disguise, even better. Continue having Fruit each morning for breakfast. Stay away from fast food. If you have to, eat their salads with oil and vinegar or italian or low calorie dressing.

Make sure you don’t fall off the wagon, now. Not after all your hard work.

A lot of people sabotage themself at this point. Just add a little meat or fish or beans to your diet. Keep the rest minus calorie foods. If you want, add some brown rice or a baked potato at dinner. If you want a burger eat it without mayonnaise and substitute mustard instead. Ask for extra vegetables on it. Get a side salad, too. With low calorie dressing.

Keep your six a day fix of fresh fruit juices. Mix them up. Add some vegetable juice twice a day. Make sure it is from your juicer. Juiced fruits and vegetables are more concentrated in their nutrients and tastier, too. Make a smoothie at least 2 times a day. Use some bottled water in it and add ice, too. They are great for weight loss. Try to eat at oriental restaurants and eat the steamed dishes. Try to stay away from any more than one serving of rice. Italian and mexican dishes are good if you stay away from the sour cream and too much pasta. Cut up your snack fruits and vegetables or rinse and bag them in ziploc bags and store them in the refrigerator. Keep some in the freezer for quick smoothies.

At home get some whole wheat tortillas and make some chicken and beef fajitas. Get a wok and make some stir fry every night you can. I can eat it any time. Get some flavorful sauces and add them to the pot.

When baking substitute applesauce instead of oil. Use stevia instead of sugar. You can substitute olive oil for margarine or use becel margarine with some fresh garlic and use light bread if you can for great garlic bread.

In pasta, use chicken instead of ground beef, or subtitute ground turkey or chicken. You can also use shitake mushrooms instead of meat and make a chunky vegetable vegetarian spaghetti sauce. Use your imagination. The sky is the limit.

Understand the power of this diet comes from raw foods and eating a lot of fruits and vegetables. That is the key to it’s effectiveness.

Just substitute healthy foods for unhealthy ones. If you must fry, use a little olive oil. It is the best for you. Use herbs instead of lots of salt. Add some hot sauce or cayenne pepper or paprika to foods. It helps rev up your metabolism.

I just read some interesting tips in Woman’s World Magazine. It’s my favorite diet magazine. It always has excellent tips.

Here they are:

1. French Fries are actually good for you – provided you prepare them properly. French fries contain potassium- a mineral 80% of women are deficient in. Kidney stones and brittle bones can result. Potatoes are low in calories and loaded with fiber and potassium. You can even cook them in oil, if you use olive oil. Fried foods don’t cause cancer according to a study done at the Harvard School of Public Health which found that no link existed between frying foods and cancer.

2. Cashews are another good food. The monosaturated fatty acids in cashews actually help to prevent blood pressure from rising. If you eat 1 oz. of cashews about 8 minutes before a meal, you will remain satisfied from the meal 10 times longer than normal, which helps dieters immensely.

3. Hummus are another food that is excellent for you. Chickpeas help women with improving blood cholesterol levels, and artery function, which helps prevent heart disease.

4. Garlic is another fantastic health ingredient. Besides being an excellent natural antibiotic, it also contains sulforaphane, which protects eye cells from damage caused by the sun’s ultraviolet rays.

5. Iced latte is another food that is surprisingly good for you. Coffee beans are actually berries and have more antioxidants than any other. Coffee is linked to lowering cancer risk, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Coffee also reduces the risk of headaches. Using skim milk reduces your risk of developing high blood pressure by up to 54%.

6. Apple pie is also beneficial. Eating apples reduces the risk of heart disease and helps keep your lungs working right. Apples have a high concentration of flavonoids, an antioxidant that destroys harmful free radical toxins around us.

7. Cinnamon, as I told you earlier, is an excellent, spice, both taste wise and health wise. Cinnamon both regulates insulin, and lowers blood choleterols levels by up to 26%. In addition, cinnamon is a potent natural antibiotic that kills viruses and harmful bacteria.

8. Chocolate covered strawberries, and dark chocolate in general, help you on two fronts. First, the strawberries contain fisetin, a natural substance that helps memory and prevents Alzheimer’s disease. Dark chocolate, like cinnamon, helps regulate insulin. I’ve also read it helps your libido, and is good for the heart, too.

9. Lastly, a great energy booster is the old favorite, cheese and crackers.

Cheese helps prevent tooth decay, and the protein and high fiber crackers mixed together gives you long lasting energy. In addition, the phytonutrients in flaxseed flour, if you can get it, lowers breast cancer by up to 55%.

If you have diabetes, two other findings may help you out. Cinnamon, again, lowers your need for insulin. You can add 1/2 teaspoon into your oatmeal coffee, tea, or orange juice, or a stick added to your tea 2 times per day.

The other thing you need to watch is starches and processed foods that make your blood sugar spiral upwards out of control, including the following foods:

sweet corn, potatoes, cereals, grapes, and bananas. On the minus diet, you would only need to cut out grapes. Bananas are too starchy to be a minus calorie food.

When Spring is here, use the following tips to reduce your allergy problems.

Enjoy nuts, fish, flaxseed and apples. The nuts, fish, and flaxseed are full of omega-3 fatty acids which keep your immune system strong and help it fight off viruses and bacteria while also protecting your system from reacting to pollen. The apples contain flavonoids as mentioned above, which destroy airway inflammation up to 32%. The other things you can do is find out what house plants are causing allergic reactions and eliminate them. You need to both take a shower and rinse off the pollen off your body and use saline nasal sprays to internally cleanse the nostrils, since researchers found that 84% of people who wash their nasal passages have fewer sinus problems.

Atkins Diet Induction Menu – Just Useful for Losing Weight or More?

11. Januar 2010

Low carb diet by Dr. Atkins remains to be possibly one of the most accepted low carb diets used in the last 30 years.

Dr. Atkins in addition stressed the significance of finding your own private carb level. Different people have diverse amount of carbohydrate acceptance. While some of us gain pounds with merely 90 grams of carbohydrates a day, other individuals can eat up to 120 grams of carbohydrates per day. For the period of your continuing weight loss period and pre-maintenance stage of the high protein diet invented by Dr. Atkins, you will find out your personal carb count that is going to help you establish your carb goal from now on.

Sometimes even though if it is not common, some individuals will live through a carb crash frequently on the 3rd and sometimes 5th day of the diet by Dr. Atkins. This response is a result of their body going through the ketosis stage or running on fat as an alternative to carbs. The reaction is brief however a lot of people trying to lose weight have resigned from low carb, high protein diets exclusively because of this happenstance.

Losing Weight Following the Alkaline Diet

6. Januar 2010

About the Alkaline DietEating alkaline foods or starting an alkaline diet refer to consuming those foods and drink which have an alkaline effect on the body. This effect is based upon the ash residue that remains after our foods are consumed.   Some foods leave an acid ash, whereas others leave an alkaline ash. Conveniently for us, our bodies have been designed to categorize which foods leave which kind of ash into the body. The Alkaline diet (also known as the alkaline acid diet and the acid alkaline diet) is a controversial dietary protocol based on the consumption of mainly fresh fruit, vegetables, roots and tubers, nuts, and legumes and avoiding grains, dairy, meat and excess salt, in order to balance the acidity and alkalinity (the “pH balance”) of one’s body. In recent years it has been a popular topic among authors of diet and nutrition. How the Alkaline Diet WorksThe alkaline diet offers a simple, basic understanding of what causes the body to become ‘out of balance’. Through what has become the typical Western diet largely based around meat, dairy, sugars, alcohol, saturated fats and caffeine, millions of us have created a hostile, acidic environment within our bodies. The pH level of our internal fluids affects every living cell in our bodies and the effect that over-acidification can have upon the health of our bodies is immense, with a chronically over acidic pH creating an extremely negative environment which affects all cellular functions from the beatings of the heart to the neural workings of the brain. When our pH level is unbalanced, almost any area of our bodies can be negatively affected creating results such as cancer, heart disease, obesity, weight problems, allergies, fatigue and premature aging as well as problems with our nervous system, cardiovascular system and muscles. GoalsThe nature of body varies but most of us should aim to eat 75-80% alkaline foods and a maximum of 20-25% acid forming foods. What Food is Allowed To begin to alkaline diet it is important to start consuming alkaline foods and drinks while eliminating acidifying foods and drinks from your diet. As a rough guide you should try to remember: * Vegetables (spinach, asparagus, broccoli, carrots, celery, cucumber, lettuce, courgette, cabbage, greens, swede, squash (summer, butternut, yellow etc) * Salads * Essential Fats (such as Udo’s Choice, Flax/Linseed, Evening Primrose, Olive Oil, Avocado Oil etc) * Fruits (ONLY – Lemons, Lime, Grapefruit, Watermelon, Tomato, Avocado) * Soy, Grasses and SproutsWhat Food is Not Allowed Sugar, dairy, meat (apart from fish occasionally or when transitioning), caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, wheat, yeast, fruit (apart from those mentioned above), bad fats (saturated, trans-fatty acids, hydrogenated) and salt. The most effective way to reverse the trend of over-acidification is to ‘cleanse’ the body of toxins and rapidly create an alkaline environment in which the body can heal itself. Cleansing is a natural, holistic method of healing in which the body detoxifies itself and regenerates healthy vibrant cells, effectively becoming more alkalized. Known Benefits USDA Study has shown Alkaline foods prevent muscle and bone loss. Alkaline diet is similar to a practice in the traditional Chinese medicinal diet, in which patients with minor illness is made to eat vegetables or fruits and forgo nuts and meat, a practice called “quench the fire”. Additional Suggested Health Benefits According to some alternative medicine practitioners, the shift to an acid-producing diet is the cause of a number of chronic diseases. Some practitioners recommend the alkaline diet if a person has the following symptoms and other illnesses have been ruled out. * Lack of energy * Excessive mucous production * Nasal congestion * Frequent colds and flu * Anxiety, nervousness, irritability * Ovarian cysts, polycystic ovaries, benign breast cysts * Headache Potential Risks of the Alkaline Diet An alkaline diet is a diet that emphasizes, to a varying degree, fresh fruit, vegetables, roots and tubers, nuts, and legumes. Because Alkaline Diets promote the exclusion of many foods, thos can be harmful to the body. The alkaline diet should not be used by people with acute or chronic kidney failure unless under a doctor’s supervision. People with pre-existing heart disease and those on medications that affect potassium levels in the body should check with their doctor first. What the Experts Say About the Alkaline Diet Advocates of alkaline diets claim that they help you lose weight, increase your energy, and even reduce your risk of heart disease and cancer. Although conventional doctors do believe that increasing consumption of fruit and vegetables and reducing one’s intake of meat, salt, and refined grains is beneficial to health, most conventional doctors do not believe that an acid-producing diet is the foundation of chronic illness. In conventional medicine, there is evidence, however, that alkaline diets may help prevent the formation of calcium kidney stones, osteoporosis, and age-related muscle wasting. The common belief among most medical practitioners, however, is that the blood alkalinity (pH) is not significantly affected by diet, except for pathological cases (e. g. , of ketoacodos produced by diabetes). Bottom LineStudies of alkaline diets are limited to animal and test tube trials. There’s no scientific evidence at this time that alkaline diets are beneficial to humans.

Losing Weight Following Dr. Bob Arnot’s Revolutionary Diet

Dr. Arnot is the pioneer in organizing the findings of world’s best scientist’s and dieticians into a complete and effective weight control system in the form of a book called Dr. Bob Arnot’s Revolutionary Weight Control Program. This new program gives significance on the choice of right food to eat. Dr. Robert Arnot was the medical correspondent of NBC News and has good knowledge in the scientific details on weight control. How Arnot’s Revolutionary Diet WorksCurbing your hunger is the key to healthy eating habit. With Arnot’s Revolutionary Diet  you will be eating small, frequent meals to avoid getting hungry. You won’t be counting calories or cutting out entire categories of food, but you will be cutting down your overall food intake by eating small meals.   Exercise is also added to enhance the food plan. Exercise can help burn calories and make you slimmer. Arnot’s Revolutionary Diet Meal PlanArnot’s Revolutionary Diet does not give any importance to calorie level in food and does not exclude any single group of food. Arnot’s Revolutionary Diet doesn’t give direct advice on meal plans or recipes. Instead, Arnot suggests following the suggestions of the Asian and Mediterranean style diets. With Arnot’s Revolutionary Diet you’ll eat more frequently, and also smaller meals. The Arnot’s Revolutionary Dietfood plan consists of three meals and three snacks each day – breakfast, lunch, dinner and a small snack between each. The Arnot’s Revolutionary Diet suggests consuming “hard” foods, foods that are either tough to chew or slow to be absorbed. Examples of suggested hard foods are beans, lettuce, celery, low-fat or non-fat dairy, and cantaloupe. According Arnot’s revolutionary diet you should eat before you are hungry. Then, according to the Arnot diet, you will eat the right foods, avoid cravings, and stop bad food choices. It claims your pounds will melt away when you add foods that reduce hunger, improve your mood, decrease your glucose (sugar) load, and increase your nutrition. What Food is Allowed in Arnot’s Revolutionary DietYou are allowed moderate amounts of carbohydrates, dairy, fruits, vegetables and meat or protein. You’ll also be able to indulge in limited amounts of alcohol. Incorporate plenty of fiber like unsweetened cereals, beans, lentils and peas in your diet. Food Items Recommended by  Arnot’s Revolutionary DietHard vegetables such as chinese cabbage and celery. Hard fruits such as grapefruit. Hard protein such as egg whites or low-fat or non-fat dairy foods. High fiber carbohydrates such as whole grains. High fiber carbohydrates such as beansWhat Food is Not Allowed in Arnot’s Revolutionary DietThe  Arnot’s Revolutionary Diet doesn’t allow eating any appetite stimulating white foods like bread, pasta, or potatoes. Dieters are urged to choose foods that are not processed and contain no added fats, sugar, or salt. Fat rich food like nuts, oils and butter should be avoided. Additional Suggested Health Benefits of Arnot’s Revolutionary DietThe hard food in the diet will lower cholesterol, reduces heart disease, protects against breast cancer and colon cancer. It provides essential fatty acids for healthy skin and the development of body cells. The plant chemicals that have disease preventive properties protect our cells and reduce the risk of developing certain  types of cancer. Arnot’s Revolutionary Diet promotes exercise to improve the food plan. The Arnot’s Revolutionary Dietsuggests both “fat-ripping” and “building a fat-burning engine” (muscle building) exercise. With all this ripping and burning, you’re sure to look thinner. Potential Risks of Arnot’s Revolutionary DietNo real risks in practicing Arnot’s Revolutionary Diet. The diet is a sensible one, and can result in many health benefits, vs. eating poorly. What the Experts Say About Arnot’s Revolutionary DietIn the book ”The Breast Cancer Prevention Diet” by Dr. Bob Arnot, he claimed that adopting a diet rich in soy, flaxseed and fish oils can prevent breast cancer. It has been soundly denounced by breast cancer researchers and patient advocates alike. Dr. Arnot is not wrong in suggesting that diet plays an important role in reducing the risk of cancer, including breast cancer. The American Cancer Society estimates that diet is a primary factor in a third of cancer deaths. That estimate is derived from thousands of studies of people worldwide and is supported by findings in laboratory cell cultures and animal experiments. These studies suggest that a reorientation of American eating habits — to emphasize fruits, vegetables and whole grains while minimizing red meats, total fat and especially saturated fats and alcohol — can significantly reduce the likelihood of developing colon cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, bladder cancer, stomach cancer, esophagus cancer, mouth cancer, and throat cancer.   Caution should be taken regarding any diet being called a anti-cancer diet. As Fran Visco, president of the National Breast Cancer Coalition put it, ”There is no breast cancer prevention diet,” and the basis for Dr. Arnot’s assertion is too flimsy to warrant a radical dietary shift based on diet.

Losing Weight Through Diet – The Pros And Cons

6. Dezember 2009

Various studies show that more than two-thirds of all American adults are either obese or morbidly obese. With all the hype on weight loss and weight loss products, it’s no wonder that more and more people who suffer from being overweight become interested into various commercial diet plans and weight loss programs that are available in the market today.
OF DIET AND DIETING
By definition, “dieting” refers to the practice of eating or drinking in a regulated manner in order to achieve a specific short-term objective of gaining and or losing size or weight. “Diet” on the other hand refers to the habit of nutritional consumption and focuses more on a long-term goal.
Studies show that the most common objective of dieting is for a person to lose excess body fat. But, there are also kinds of diet that are prescribed in order to achieve a particular medical objective while some dieting are actually designed and prescribed to increase body fat or add up to muscle weight gain.
Diet is actually categorized into two: the weight-loss diets, which restrict the intake of specific foods or food group in order to reduce body weight and the weight-gain diets, which are usually self-imposed in order to achieve a higher weight class.
Aside from that, special cases also require diets especially when it is related to certain medical conditions. Special diets usually include, exclude, or regulate a set of certain chemicals especially from the foods that contain them.
These special diets are usually given to diabetics to manage the person’s blood sugar levels; epileptics who adhere to Ketogenic Diet; celiac disease patients are advised to take gluten-free diet; people who suffer from being lactose-intolerant are advised to veer away from milk products, kidney disease patients are restricted to eat foods that have high-sodium content while people who suffer from mild hypertension are advised to follow a diet low in fat and sodium and rich in fruits and vegetables.
Other specific types of diet to control weight include low-fat diets, low-carbohydrate diet or Atkins Diet, natural diets that include Paleolithic Diet and Evolution Diet, vegetarian diet, and very low calorie diet. Experts say that different diets are designed to on weight loss and weight gain depending on the person’s need.
THE PROS AND CONS OF DIET AND DIETING
Of all the means of losing weight offered by various companies, weight loss diets have become one of the most popular that overweight people use. This is because these people believe that by taking in regulated amounts of food or veering away from eating foods from a specific food group, they can lose weight easily.
But, little do they know that improper diet and dieting may result to rapid weight loss and can even lead to more serious illnesses due to lack of nutrients absorbed by the body.
Food and nutrition experts say that most obese people who are into strict diet and improper dieting have developed have a long history of dieting failure because they always go back to their usual eating and lifestyle habits.
Experts also agree that although improper diet can lead to severe health cases, it can be powerful tool in losing weight if done properly and administered by authorized health care providers. This is because weight loss diets that are monitored by authorities can evoke commitment, discipline, and dedication to those who are taking the specific diet plan. And if these weight loss diets are administered properly, people who choose weight-loss program can conquer their fear of dieting failure and depression.
Indeed, it will take a huge amount of energy for an obese person to be able to stick to any weight-loss diet or program. Aside from fighting the temptation to go back to their usual way of eating, people who are overweight have large tendencies of becoming violent and defensive in their preference of diet.
Although diet can be an effective means of losing weight, experts say that not all weight loss diets and programs can be successful. This is because some diets target the dieter’s weakness and make them believe that they can eat certain amount of foods when in fact, these can contribute much to their weight gain.
AVOIDING FAD DIETS
To be able to lose weight safely and properly, make sure that you know when the weight loss diet is a fad. Here are some ways to help you spot a fad diet:
- Menu offers extremely limited food choices.
- Cutting out an entire food group.
- The diet asks the dieter to eliminate all fats.
- Promises of ultra-fast weight loss or rapid weight loss.
- It aims to sell a specific weight loss product such as herbal weight loss supplement or pills.
- Weight loss diet claims they are based on unproven science.
- It opposes medical opinions.
