The Best Diet Plans For You
May 6th, 2010
Because everyone is different, the best diet plans for individuals will also vary. Even though your spouse or a friend may have had some success in losing weight following a particular regimen, it doesn’t necessarily mean that regimen would be the best one for you.
Over the years, many diet pills and regimens were marketed as revolutionary, with all sorts of guarantees, and came with diets that were so restrictive that they couldn’t possibly be followed for more than a week or so. The pills back then generally did little to curb appetites, although a few brands did have a slight degree of success.
Most medical professionals tend to believe that any type of fast weight loss is bad and useless. Typically, the first pounds to be lost are fluids, and after you stop the diet or change your food intake, these fluids come right back, negating your original weight loss. Usually the faster you lose the weight, the faster you can put it back on. Nothing more than one or two pounds a week is ever recommended, even though many commercial diet plans promise results of up to ten pounds a week.
Anyone who has ever tried to lose even ten pounds knows it’s difficult. And most have probably been warned that any weight loss of more than one or two pounds a week is dangerous at best, and useless in the long term. Fast weight loss is possible, but it is usually followed by fast weight gain of an equal or greater number of pounds.
The best diets are simply those that provides a variety of the foods we like to eat, augmented with high-quality supplements and vitamins to fill any nutritional voids. There are many reputable companies such as Botanic Choice, Mother Nature, and Supplements To Go who offer these high quality nutritional supplements. No diet is going to last long if we are forced to not only severely reduce the amount of food we eat, but we are also required to eat foods we don’t care for. Those grapefruit and cottage cheese diets of forty years ago were successful for perhaps four days at the most, and less if you happened to dislike those foods. Since no one can last on a diet like this for long, the few pounds you lost were immediately gained once you ate something normal like a tuna sandwich.
Today, medical science has a better understanding of metabolism, energy needs, and the psychology of weight loss. Some of the most successful diet plans include prepackaged and premeasured foods along with constant supervision by a medical professional or trained counselor. Some plans such as Jenny Craig or Bistro MD provide personal counselors to talk with if you have questions, or are tempted by foods that are totally off limits. Of course, these plans cost money and not everyone can afford to get involved with one for long enough to lose the necessary weight, but there are many alternatives.
Almost all diet plans advocate some sort of exercise program. There are many schools of thought on this, and about what kind of exercise will help. The idea is to speed up the metabolism to use more calories, but many dieters complain that all this extra exercise just increases their appetite. Raising your metabolic rate through exercise, specific vitamin and mineral supplements, or both is generally agreed to be a positive contributor to weight loss.
Whatever you choose, a diet plan will only be successful if you like it and can follow it. In reality, it’s a lifestyle change that needs to be made. Remember – a temporary diet only provides temporary results.
Quite frankly, the best diet plans are the plans and products that will work both effectively and safely – for you!
