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.
Some of the best known diets are low carb, high protein, like the Atkins diet. These diets state that carbohydrates are the main reason you gain weight and that eating more lean protein helps 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. These diets work better for some than others, so it depends on how well your body responds to it.
Many people who go on a diet focus many on reducing fat. When choosing a low fat weight loss program, you need to be aware that some fat is still required, along with a balanced diet. There are oils such as olive, flaxseed and fish that provide you with the healthy fats that are very important. Nuts and legumes offer healthy fats as well. Meat products and trans fats are the source of saturated fats (which are not good fats), and should be eaten in moderation.
Dieting that works, research has shown, must accompany sleeping enough each day plus reducing stress levels. Continually being stressed, and a perpetual lack of sleep, can lead to an inability to shed the excess weight. As you know, the more stressed out you are, the more likely you are to gain weight which can also affect your metabolism levels.
So you should do everything you can to reduce stress in your life and get enough rest. You will only achieve your ideal weight, and also maintain your weight loss program, if you become more relaxed everyday. Once you decide upon a dieting system to help you lose weight, always be aware of useful and not so useful aspects before you start. Of course, there are so many diets to choose from, we've barely scratched the surface. New diets are introduced practically every day. 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.
