There is so much information on the web about dieting and diets and how to loose anything from 4 to 400 pounds in three seconds that I had no idea where to start looking for some easy steps to get me on the road to a healthier weight. That’s why I started doing some research to find out what steps would help me to Diet Eating success.
These are some of the keys I’ve found to diet eating success:
1. Decide why you are dieting
2. Choose a goal and a reward.
3. Choose a diet.
4. Work out a plan
5. Work out a weekly menu
6. Reward yourself
(Visit my blog for the articles above)
As far as choosing a diet, here are some characteristics of the most common diets so you can decide which diet is right for you:
1.Cleansing diets
These are great to kick start you on a weight loss program. IF you cleanse the liver then the body metabolises food a lot faster and you should therefore lose weight a lot quicker. These are normally very strict regimens which are hard to follow in the long term and they also have left me feeling lack lustre. Not a good idea to cleanse if you have a hectic schedule planned. Ideally you should be able to take the time off from a busy schedule if you want to do a cleanse. I like to cleanse once a year so. Near the holidays so I don’t have to be half a moron at work.
2. Atkins Diet
The Atkins diet revolves around eating plenty of protein in the form of meat, eggs, cheese, chicken, etc while severely restricting the carbohydrates you eat. Its great for meat lovers and people who have used the Atkins successfully have reported rapid weight loss. I personally used the Atkins diet very successfully and lost 20kg. My lifestyle still revolved around Atkins although not as strictly as I used to. For a great ebook introduction to Atkins, visit my blog.
4. The South Beach Diet
I haven’t personally tried the South Beach Diet. There are plenty of resources to explain how it really works, but basically the diet differentiates between ‘good’ and bad carbohydrates. I am told it is very similar to the Atkins so you can eat what you want as long as you watch those carbs. IF you want to know more about the South Beach Diet, visit me on my blog
2. Calorie Restriction
This diet involved working out the calories of everything you eat and restricting calories to a certain number per day. It is very flexible in that you can eat anything you like as long as you keep tabs on the calories. The downside is that eating out can be complicated since its hard to work out what calories are in the meals served.
5. Weight Watchers
Weight watchers assigns a number of points to different foods. You are then allowed a number of points per day. You just need to count the points you eat per day. This diet is also very flexible. You have to join to get the point counters and books. I joined weight watchers and did manage to loose some weight, but I found the lifestyle hard to maintain. I enjoy my proteins so I found Atkins easier but for non-protein fanatics, it can be a very good eating program. There is a great ebook on weight watchers. For details visit my blog.
