What You Should Know About Diet Plans

By Ron Stucky


Selecting the best diet plan can be as difficult as sticking with one. There are thousands to choose from and they all contradict each other, so it's difficult to know which one is right. To help you in your search for the right one, here are some of the advantages and disadvantages of some better known diets.

The vegetarian diet is said to be the best way to stay healthy. There are many variations of this, of course, ranging from a basic vegetarian diet where you simply avoid meat to a vegan diet where you stop consuming any animal products at all, including eggs and dairy. Many studies show that vegetarians are less likely to suffer from heart disease and certain types of cancer. When you're a vegetarian it is necessary to eat an appropriate amount of protein and curb your carb intake. You can achieve weight loss and also maintain a healthy balance as long as you are aware of the necessary nutrients.

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.

Upon returning to your regular diet, however, you may find yourself gaining your weight back after trying this out for a week to cleanse your system. One solution to this, however, is to modify your normal diet so you eat healthier, and perhaps less, all the time. These solutions, as you can see, are not permanent even though they can help cleanse your body.

Never, we repeat never, ever starve yourself as a form of dieting. To stay healthy while you are dieting, you must never restrict the proper amounts of nutrients that you require to keep your body in shape. Depending upon your size, and whether you are male or female, eating less than 1000 calories can be very dangerous and unhealthy. No matter how hard you try, starving yourself will always lead back to weight gain despite any loss you may initially achieve. A better alternative are detox programs that actually attempt to cleanse your body in a short amount of time in an attempt to lose weight. We've looked at some diet plans and their benefits and drawbacks. With such a large assortment of dieting programs on the market today, obviously this article does not cover all of them. Diet programs with new and improved twists are made month after month. 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.
