Diets that really work
Lots of folks need to lose weight, and lots of them are always searching for diet plans that work. It’s not really difficult to find diets that work, but finding a diet a person can stick to is the trick.
The 46.8 billion dollar diet industry (as of 2005) depends not on people staying healthy and keeping off weight, but rather on people taking an endless ping-pong ride between health and fat.
Because repeat business brings in the cash, the focus is naturally on the ping-pong reality of un-healthy living followed by short stints of diets and health programs.
So you want a diet that delivers? Here’s one. Combine limiting caloric intake to 1000 calories a day with at least 30 minutes of exercise at least 5 days a week.
That diet will result in shedding weight. But there are two issues. #1 cravings will likely foil the diet.
Sooner or later, particularly after returning home from work outs, those 1000 calories won’t be sufficient to satisfy. One piece of cake, or just one bag of chips, or one extra hot dog will soon steer you to dropping off the diet.
The second problem is what happens after the diet ends? What happens when the weight is shed? What, you’ll go right back to eating the same way you ate before the diet? Guess what, then the weight will return.
Next spring, or next fancy dress occasion, or next vacation, or simply the next time you glance at a mirror on the way out of the shower it will be time to return to a diet to lose the unwanted pounds.
The best diet is a forever diet. More and more people now understand that to lose weight it’s best to make a whole lifestyle change, including healthier eating habits and more exercise.
The Sonoma Diet, created by Connie Guttersen, focuses on 10 power foods. These are almonds, bell peppers, blueberries, broccoli, grapes, olive oil, spinach, strawberries, tomatoes and whole grains, eaten in conjunction with the cuisine of the Sonoma country, which includes Asian, Latin American and Mediterranean foods and dishes.
The diet includes a wide selection of real, and enjoyable foods so it’s easy to remain on it .
Want a diet that works? Move your mind from a short term diet to permanent eating habits that go along with an overall healthy and active lifestyle. That’s the way to not only lose the weight, but to avoid gaining it in the first place.
