Many people need to drop weight, and lots of people are always searching for diet plans that work. The problem isn't really finding a diet that works, but rather locating a diet to which a person can stick. The 46.8 billion dollar diet industry (as of 2005) depends not on people staying healthy and staying thin, but rather on people taking an endless roller coaster ride between health and fat. Because the money comes from repeat business, the focus is surely on the ping-pong reality of un-healthy living followed by short periods of diets and health programs.
Here's a diet that works. Combine limiting caloric intake to 1000 calories a day with at least 30 minutes of exercise at least five times a week. It's a guarantee you'll drop weight. Only two small problems. The first is that cravings are likely to foil the diet. Sooner or later, particularly after returning home from work outs, those 1000 calories won't be sufficient to satisfy. First it's a potato chip or piece of cake, then it's an extra hot dog and the whole bag of chips, and then the diet is history. The second issue is what happens after the diet is over? What happens when the weight is lost? 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 time to put on that dress or tuxedo, or next family trip, or simply the next time you look into a looking glass on the way out of the bathroom it will be once again be diet time.
The best diet is one making a change to overall diet, forever. A lifestyle change to healthier eating habits and more physical activity is the best way to lose weight and keep off the weight. Connie Guttersen created the Sonoma Diet which, as a base, discusses 10 “power foods.” These are almonds, bell peppers, blueberries, broccoli, grapes, olive oil, spinach, strawberries, tomatoes and whole grains, combined with the diet of the Sonoma country, which includes Asian, Latin American and Mediterranean foods and dishes. The diet is full of real food, and real portions, combined into enjoyable dishes to help motivate someone to stay with it .
Want a diet that works? Move your mind from a short term diet to a long term style that's part of an overall healthy and active lifestyle. That way you won't gain the pounds in the first place.
