Let's Take A Look At The Leading Diet Plans That Are The Most Effective

By James Steele


When it comes to choosing a diet plan, it can be as difficult as sticking with the one you choose. It's hard to know which one of the thousands available is right, especially since they all contradict each other. Keep reading to learn some of the advantages and disadvantages of some of the more well known diets.

Among the best known diets are the low carb, high protein ones, such as the Atkins diet. The basic idea is that carbohydrates are the main culprit when it comes to gaining weight, and that protein helps your body burn fat more efficiently. Eating only a few carbs leaves some people with low energy, but others do well with this kind of diet. For those who have trouble sticking to the traditional low carb diets, try a modified one like the Zone diet, which still limits your intake of carbs but offers a wider variety of foods. Some people have more success with this type of diet, so it seems to depend on your body.

Some people believe that a raw foods diet is not only the best way to lose weight, but also the healthiest way to eat. As the name suggests, when you follow this diet, you eat no cooked foods at all. You can, however, eat a wide variety of seeds, fruits, vegetables, and legumes. But because this diet is so extreme, not everyone is willing to try it. Some people who have tried the raw foods diet found they feel better, have more energy, and have lost weight.

One kind of diet plan you should avoid is the starvation diet. Severe dieting, such as this, can only starve your body of nutrients that it needs to function properly which will inevitably lead to ill health. Male and female alike, regardless of how much weight you need to lose, it is always a bad idea to eat less than 1000 calories of food per day. When the body detects that it is not receiving enough nutrients, you will find yourself gaining more weight after losing it to stay healthy. You might want to try, instead of starvation, a detox program that can cleanse your internal system which may lead to some weight-loss.

To summarize, you can get lost in all the information about diet plans, so it's best to pick one that's based on sound principles and try it for a while. When your diet program utilizes a healthy eating regime along with exercise, you have much better odds of achieving a satisfying end. The best approach is to think in terms of long term changes in your lifestyle rather than trying to find a quick fix.
