Answer 2

No diet is good - diets stop working when we stop dieting. The thing that works is to change your lifestyle, and change the way you eat forever.

Base your diet around whole grains, vegetables and fruit, with some protein and unsaturated fat, and as little saturated fat, sugar and alcohol as you can manage! Don't try to be perfect, either - eating well 80-90% of the time is fine! Don't ban any food, but do consider carefully whether a given "treat" is worth the calories - all of us find that some things are!

Many of us find that if, as a rule of thumb, we fill half our plate with vegetables and 1/4 with starchy carbohydrate, preferably low GI, the rest doesn't matter very much!

Other things that help are:

- keeping a food journal - if you write down everything you eat and/or drink as you have it, you can't kid yourself that you are eating "nothing".... our memories do like to play tricks on us!

- drinking at least 2 litres of water a day, which is incredibly good for your body even if you aren't trying to lose weight. But it really helps your system work properly, and keeps your metabolism boosted, so it's particularly important when you are.

- exercising regularly (yes, I know, that's the hard bit!). No need to spend hours in the gym unless you enjoy doing that - even just going for a walk is better than nothing!

- setting up a system of rewards (nothing mega - things like giving yourself a facial, or buying a new shower-gel, or whatever) for each milestone reached, whether that is the next half-stone marker in your weight-loss journey, or having taken exercise five times in one week, or whatever.

- making a commitment to keep on keeping on, no matter how long it takes, no matter how many times you fall off the wagon (you will! We all do!), no matter how many times you have a breather while on holiday, and so on....

Good luck!

Answer 3

Southbeach is ok, don't do atkins.

More than anything, avoid processed foods. They are high in fat and sodium. Eat plenty of lean protein, whole grains, fruit and veggies. VERY IMPORTANT....find a portion guide so you know how much is enough. Portion conrol is a HUGE help. Most people eat way more than is necessary.

Make sure you get at least an hour of excercise a week. This means you need to have your heart rate increase for an hour. There have been studies to show that 10 minutes, twice a day is just as useful as one long 60 minute stretch of time as long as the activity really gets your heart pumping.

Answer 4

the best diet is the hardest diet and that is one that will radically change your eating habits to allow you to maintain healthy body weight. Unfortunately if your calorific intake is greater than our body's metabolic need, the body will store the excess as fat. The atkins diet does work because you are limiting the carbohydrate intake, and as the brain requires energy in the form of glucose, the body will metabolise your fat stores to increase blood sugar levels. Unfortunately you are starving yourself eating only protein, and this food type contains a lot of nitrogen which is hugely increased on atkins which can put strain on your kidneys.

The best way to lose weight is to cut out all the carbohydrate rubbish like sweets, crisps, biscuits and bread. Eat 3 normal portions of normal food, and exercise. It will take a while to lose the weight because it took a while to put it on.
Its a very difficult thing to do, and i wish u the best of luck.

Answer 5

Are you just sick of the normal diet plans have been following the diet regime end the further pounds are just coming and coming soon after finish the diet program? Are you knowledge the truth that after your body gets utilized to a diet regime then this diet plan turns into significantly less efficient in excess of time because your physique adjusts to compensate?

Answer 6

1)Drink lots of water 2-3l a day (use sugar free juices to help)
2)Eat 5-6 small meals a day (Not snacks Meals) make sure your eating every 2 hours, at breakfast make sure you have Protein and small amount of carbs, other meals should consist of mainly Protein and GOOD FATS only, if you are training then carbs before and after combined with Protein and GOOD Fats
3)Fruit and veg is vital not just for nutrients but fibre will fill you up.
4)excercise for 40-50 BEFORE you eat in the morning, your glycogen stores will be very low because of the nights fast, so your primary source of fuel will be the FAT stored under your skin, make sure to keep this low intensity tho if you go to fast you'll burn muslce
5)Keep the protein high Muscle burns fat like no ones business the more you have the more fat you'll burn, hence way body builders can lean up so much
6)Plenty of GOOD FATS, Olive oil, Seeds, Nuts, Oily Fish, or EFA Supplements, this is also vital, if you have plenty of these in your body it encourages your body to release its fats stores bit of a trick but it does work.
7)Do weights at the gym in the evening, building more muscles can only burn more calories
8)When you tailor your diet ensure you are burning more calories than your eating, hence my protein and good fats is the main source of food, they aren't calory dense
9)Allow one cheat meal a week, this will hold you on track without it you won't stick to it
10)Find good low fat foods in the supermarket, (Birds Eye 100% Chicken breasts are no good) but fresh whole chicken breasts and flavour to taste
11)Stick to Complex carbs and no carbs after 6pm, wheats brans wholemeal pasta etc

All that said it takes time and motivation, set yourself small targets and only weigh yourself every 2 weeks, there are fat burners also out there Maximuscles Thermobol is excellent at mobilising the fat stored as long as you follow the tips above also.

Good Luck and stick at it, you don't get fat over night and you don't get thin either, takes time. Think of it as a life style more than a diet.

The first 2 weeks you'll notice a sharp drop in weight this is simple because you have limited your carbs and your body can't hold as much water. So don't be disheartened if it slows.

Cheers
