A Look At The Leading Diet Plans

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. To help you choose the right diet, we'll be looking at some well known diet plans and some of their advantages and disadvantages.

Diets like Atkins that have you eat a low carb, high protein diet are among the best known. Eating carbohydrates is what makes you gain weight, according these types of diets, and eating protein will help you 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. It seems that how well you do with this kind of diet depends on your own body, as some people have more success than others. One of the most popular trends in today's modern age are prepackaged meals that are specifically designed to conform to a diet program. The Atkins Low-carb Pack, one of the more well known prepackaged programs, is a great solution for those that are not fond of cooking. While this makes the diet very clear cut, the downside to this is that it can get boring. If you are not a "packaged meal" type of person, this diet is probably not for you. Many people cannot stand preparing and cooking meals, so if that is you, you may find success with this program.

Reducing stress, and getting enough sleep, have been shown by researchers to greatly enhance the probability of weight-loss with any dieting system. Continually being stressed, and a perpetual lack of sleep, can lead to an inability to shed the excess weight. If you find yourself constantly eating because you are stressed, or if you feel tired all the time, this could be a metabolism issue as well.

Of all the chic diet plans the Ice Cream Diet and the Cookie Diet are just two of many silly names. These are usually gimmicks where you eat a very small amount of some tempting sounding food and, the rest of the time severely restrict your intake of calories. Use deliberation when choosing a diet like one of these, if your calorie intake is not high enough, you may not be benefiting from valuable nutrients. When they claim you will be able to eat cookies and such, it will usually be a very small helping and probably would not have been your choice. You're better off sticking to a sensible and healthy diet that gives you a little room to "cheat" once in a while with a real treat.

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. If you follow a diet that has you eating healthy foods and also getting regular exercise, you should be able to succeed sooner or later. There are no short term solutions, this will alter your future in a very health oriented way.
