what would be a really good diet?

Question

i want to lose the extra pounds, but i am really bad on planing out diets...can you help me?

Answer 1

It was hard but I stopped drinking soda, started drinking water and stopped eating red meat. I lost 15 pounds the first two weeks. If you added exercise you'd do yourself a world of good.

Answer 2

Try a cleansing diet! I did and lost 11 pounds and 21 inches in only 9 days. I was very happy with the results and continued on the program and lost 29 pounds in 5 weeks. This is the fastest I have ever lost with other diets like Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Medifast, Slimfast etc…. Cleansing works by removing impurities from your body. You get impurities from your food (pesticides, preservatives, food additives, colorings) water, chemicals, pollution, medications, alcohol, hormones that the animals you eat were fed etc….YUCK! The impurites get coated with fat and remain in your body. To remove the fat, you have to remove the impurites. This system worked for me, maybe it can work for you too. You can check out the website or call this toll free number 1-877-587-4647 for more info. The program is not cheap, but it is worth every penny since it works and keeps you motivated. Good luck!

Don't consider this as a "diet", because then you will lose the weight and go off of the "diet", and regain it all back. This is a lifestyle change, and needs to be treated as such.
You need to evaluate what you are currently consuming. Are you eating fruits and vegetables? Or does your current diet consist mainly of processed foods and refined sugars? You want to be eating as close to natural as possible. Incorporate more fruits and vegetables into your diet, as well as lean proteins, low-fat dairy, whole grains, and of course lots of water.
Mypyramid.gov is a great site
ediets.com has a wealth of information out there about all the diets available.
If you think this is something you can do on your own, get a book called You on a Diet. I hate the whole diet word, but this book explains in detail everything you need to know.
You have to know this.....there isn't a diet that will work out there unless and until you incorporate exercise into your daily routine. YOU HAVE TO MOVE TO LOSE. You need to burn more calories than you consume. PERIOD. There is no magic pill, or drink that will do this. The magic formula is to eat right and exercise. You will need to do some cardio as well as weight lifting.
Eat several small meals throughout the day to get your metabolism going and keep it going. If you starve yourself, your metabolism slows way down, and you won't lose a thing. To keep your metabolism strong, start off your day with a healthy breakfast. Not eating breakfast is the worst thing you can do for your body. As well as not drinking plenty of water. Our bodies our made mostly of water and you need to be drinking enough everyday to replenish what you lose during the day, and to keep all of your body's processes functioning normally.
If your health insurance covers it, you might consider going to see a nutrtionist or a Registered Dietitian. They will be able to help create a meal plan for you to follow, as well as to give you advice on what snacks are healthy and not loaded with calories.
Eat healthy and stay active and you will be well on your way to a lean and fit body.

Answer 4

The secret is acknowledging the true purpose of food as fuel rather than entertainment. Focus on protein, fats, and carbohydrates and learn about each of them. A little bit of research online will teach you a lot. Remember, don't diet; change your eating lifestyle. Doing so will change your life for the better. For the exercise, consider it a priority to include it into your routine.

Anyway, if you want it simple, here it is in ten steps:
1. protein is good...eat plenty (about 30% of your caloric intake)
2. fats are good and bad...know the difference
3. saturated and trans fats are the bad ones - limit these
4. poly- and mono-unsaturated fats are good - don't be afraid of them
5. carbohydrates are good and bad...know the difference
6. fibers and complex carbs are the good ones - eat these (about 40% of your caloric intake)
7. sugars and simple carbs are the bad ones - limit these, particularly late in the day (stay away from sodas and chips!)
8. drink water - lots and lots and lots of water. It's the only drink you need. Anything else is either wasted or simply bad for you
9. Eat 4-6 "meals" a day to boost your metabolism.
10. A meal is defined as a portion of a low-fat, protein rich entree, a portion of veggies for vits/mins, and a portion of complex carbs. (You can get these combined as a health shake)

For exercise, it's even simpler:
1. 4-6 hours per week
2. 45-90 min each day you exercise
3. do aerobic exercise (20-40 min) every day you exercise
4. work abdominals every day you exercise (between sets makes it easy)
5. do chest and triceps exercises on one day
6. do back and biceps exercises on a different day
7. do legs and shoulder exercises on a different day
8. do your exercises in sets (i.e. 3 times with 6-12 repetitions each)
9. keep a record of what you do to measure progress.
10. when your progress stalls (called "plateau"), switch up your routine.

Answer 5

The "Natural" diet, which really isnt a diet, its just being smart.

Eat healthy, well balanced meals (5-6 small ones if you can). Dont skip meals, and cut out all snacks you eat "just because". If you are hungry for a snack, then eat...but dont eat a snack because you want some.

Drink water, it will help in a numerous ways, including suppressing hunger.

Exercise (to lose weight, eat less, burn more). Walk more, and do some cardio to slim down your entire body.
