There’s a tremendous amount of pressure to diet in our moden world, both for women and men.
We’re bombarded with images (airbrushed to flawlessness) of ‘perfect’ people with their perfect bodies, with their flat abs (for women) or rock-hard six-packs (for men), perfect breasts and tight buns. And, although the words are never said, the expectation is we should all be able to look like those stars, models, and celebrities.
In frustration, many of us turn to any number of ‘fad’ diets or supplements. The fact is, you WILL loose weight on almost any diet. It is also a fact, a statistically proven fact, that you will also gain back every pound you’ve lost PLUS more once you stop following the diet. Far too often, the ‘diet’ gets it’s quick gains by forcing the body to eliminate water. Since water is quite heavy, you can see dramatic results on the scale within a week!
Heck, there’s the South Beach, Adkins, the miracle fast, the grapefruit… the list goes on and on. Pick a food, eat it almost exclusively for a week, and I will almost guarantee you loose weight!
Here are a number of diets and their problems:
Weight-loss pills – may speed up your metabolism (name one that HASN’T ended up being linked with major health problems, or they simply reduce your desire to eat. This isn’t healthy, it’s starvation!
Shakes – okay, you’re getting nutrients, but it’s basic health – you can’t get everything you need from one source! Shakes really are just one thing as far as your body is concerned – starvation
Diets – as mentioned above, almost anyone could pick something extreme (I’m only going to eat Avacados!) and probably loose weight over a week. But far too often your body is going into starvation mode, hanging on to the fat it’s got. Frequently you’re withholding too much water from your body as it’s eliminating water as fast as it can to flush toxins out. And finally, and most importantly, diets require Discipline and Determination. Both will waver over time, and no long-term solution can be based on that.
So, what’s the answer?
Balance.
First – MOVE! Get up and get moving. Go for a walk. Are you already in moderate shape? Get back to the gym. Move and exercise for a MINIMUM of 30 minutes.
Second – Eat right. Really, healthy eating isn’t hard – it’s common sense. Did it come out of the ground? Probably healthy. For example – Green beans and salad -good. Pop-tarts have never seen a plant, so they’re probably not that great for you!
Once you learn how to live balanced and eat right, it can become addictive and a natural part of your life – not something you have to force yourself to do!

Fast weight loss diets are popular because they promise quick weight loss with little effort. While some of these weight loss plans are not healthy, and can even be dangerous, there are some fast weight loss diets that can actually work. The key is to find a diet plan that stresses healthy eating habits instead of indicating that a person must only eat a certain food group or cut calories to dangerous levels in order to lose the weight. Here are a few helpful hints to help you decide when searching for a diet plan that will fit your lifestyle best.
Being healthy is important – Fast weight loss diets should be safe or they are not worth trying. A safe diet should include all daily recommended allowances of vitamins and minerals, as well as protein and fiber. Not following nutritional guidelines can lead to malnourishment and other long term health problems.
Get enough calories- It is very important to not cut your calories too low. By cutting your calories to less than 1,000 per day for woman and 1,600 per day for men, you can cause irreversible harm to your body. Never go below this number per day or for long periods of time. Cutting your calories too low can cause your metabolism to malfunction, thereby stalling your weight loss efforts. It can also cause many other side effects that can do more harm than good.
Eating fruit and veggies – If you find fast weight loss diets that stress eating fruits and vegetables, they are probably going to work well for you while making sure you are not jeopardizing your health. Fruits and veggies provide many vitamins, minerals, and fiber which are required for optimal health.
Low fat is what you should aim at – Low fat diets stress the negativity of fats in the diet. While it is true that the body does need a little bit of fat every day, consuming even a moderate amount of fat per day can lead to many health problems, including heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure and more.
Taking dairy product is important- low fat dairy products are actually good for you, contrary to what some diet experts say. Dairy is great for curbing the appetite, provides much needed calcium to the body. Studies show that by consuming foods such as yogurt, cheese, and milk can slow the formation of fat cells and boosts the metabolism.
Eat moderate meat- or at least some kind of protein. Protein helps the body to build and repair tissue and muscles, make hormones and other imperative functions throughout the body. Remember though, that too much animal protein can cause damage to some of our vital organs, and should only be eaten in moderation, if at all.
Be sure to research the diet you choose before deciding on any diet. As always, before trying any of these or other fast weight loss diets, it is very important to visit your doctor so that you can be sure you are healthy enough to diet in this way.

The Paleolithic diet is based on eating only what earl, primitive man would have had the opportunity to eat. There are a couple of books out there but the basic diet is the same.
Assuming that early man ate only what he could gather from the wild the diet is very restricted, allowing only about one fourth of what Americans typically eat. Organic foods are stressed as early man would not have had the chemicals in his food.
The allowable foods are:
Meat
Fruit
Honey in very restricted amounts
Not allowed: dairy, or starches (corn, wheat, rice) are not allowable. Legumes (dried beans and peas) are not allowable. Certainly no processed foods, sugar or artificial sweeteners are allowable. If a human could catch it or pick it from a plant and eat it without processing it is o.k. for you to eat.
You only eat when you are hungry, and while you don’t count calories the proponents stress that calories do count. Weight loss is rapid the first week or two, as on any low carb regime, and then slows to a more normal rate.
Sugar cravings and carb cravings may happen but lessen in a few days if you don’t give in to them.
This is a lifestyle, not a short term weight loss diet. You lose weight because your body does not have the insulin spikes that it has when you are eating processed foods. You are allowed more variety of vegetables and fruit from the very start on this diet, which is easier for some people, although over all this is one of the most restricted diets there is.
Typical Breakfast Menu
Pork chop or chicken breast
whole, raw carrots

The protein power diet was created by the Eades. It is very similar to the paleo diet but the protein levels are based on figuring out the amount of protein you need for your height and weight as well as your activity level.
You are allowed 20-40 grams of carbohydrates per day even in the early stages of the diet. Fats are unlimited. Calories are not counted. Like Atkins there are three phases of the diet with the earliest phase being the most intense.
Allowable foods:
Proteins-all meats, poultry, and fish. Eggs, cheese, dairy products. With the dairy products you are getting some carbs so you must keep track of them.
Vegetables- all vegetables except starchy ones like potatoes.
Fruit
Nuts and seeds
Foods Not Allowed :
legumes, grains, starchy vegetables like potatoes and some squashes, and anything with a high sugar content like sweet sauces, syrups, candy, ice cream, high-sugar fruits like pineapples and mangoes.
Typical Breakfast Menu
1/2 grapefruit
2 eggs
3 sausages

Dr.s Richard and Rachael Heller came up with the Carb Addict’s Diet based on the theory that overweight people might be addicted to carbohydrates and unable to stop eating once they started, much like an alcoholic.
They do not believe that all carbs are bad or that they should be totally eliminated from the diet but believe that by eating tow low carb meals and one meal in which you can have whatever you like the carb cravings will be controlled and you will be free to eat in a healthy way.
The advantages are, of course, that you don’t have to give up your favorite foods at all, only limit them to one hour a day.
Typical Breakfast Menu
western omelet
bacon
coffee or tea
Remember though, you get one meal a day where you can eat whatever.

The South Beach Diet was created by yet another cardiologist, Dr.Arthur Agatston. It is similar to Atkins in that it is done in three phases, with the first phase being the most strict.
Agatston promised that dieters can expect to lose between eight and twelve pounds in the first two weeks of the diet, the strict phase.
Phase one limits fats as well as carbs. Because soy substitutes are allowable vegetarians and vegans can use this diet easily.
Another benefit to the South Beach Diet is that it is so popular that you can buy frozen prepared meals and foods specifically for the South Beach Diet Program at the local grocer.

It blew me away. Maybe it will you too. Some of the foods I was counting on to help me loose weight were actually doing just the reverse. Did you have a bowl of cornflakes for breakfast this morning? Turns out they are up there on the glycemic index. What does that mean? It means that your body quickly turned them into glucose and flooded your blood stream with lots of sugar. That meant you body had to respond with an extra large dose of insulin to lower you blood sugar level. And what does insulin do to accomplish that? Surprise it stores the excess glucose as fat. This seemingly safe diet food, corn flakes rates an 83 on the glycemic index which is a measure of how rapidly foods are converted into blood sugar. Corn Flakes aren’t the only breakfast villains. Rice Krispies have a ranking of 82 Puffed wheat comes in slightly lower, but is still considered high, at a 78. And even Golden Grahams at 71 on the glycemic index are rapid inducers of insulin. But breakfast isn’t the only meal where you will find saboteurs. Consider this, watermelon ranks an astounding 72 even though most of us would consider it a healthy treat! And while you may have thought that gravy was a problem, who would have thought that potatoes themselves – whether you fry them or bake them – end up spiking your insulin levels. In fact, baking only makes the situation worse. A baked potato is rated an 85 on the list, where French fries come in at 76 Yes, they’re still high! But it turns out the grease actually helps lower the glycemic index a trifle. Can’t resist that baguette at your local bakery? If you plan on following the index, it appears that you may just have to learn to say no. It ranks 95 out of 100 on the glycemic index! Pretzels – considered by many on a low-fat diet to be a safe alternative to other junk foods – rates an 81 on this index. Not as surprising are doughnuts which weigh in at a hefty 76 on the index, as do waffles. Surprised? Maybe, your healthy lifestyle isn’t quite as healthy as you would like it to be. And if you have been having trouble on your diet, this may give you a hint as to why. The glycemic index was originally developed to help people with diabetes manage their blood sugar levels. The unintended surprise was that it lead to dramatic weight loss when people followed the diet. This has lead to what is widely known as the Glycemic Index Diet and/or the Glycemic revolution. It’s lead to kind of a wise woman’s Adkins diet that instead of banning carbohydrates relishes them, -some of them. And the results are astounding. The glycemic index diet does take some getting used to. It can be tricky to fully understand. Some diet foods you have eaten for years, like rice cakes are definite no no’s, and other foods you may have previously banned are sometimes on the okay list, if eaten in moderation. Yes, you can have a little ice cream and some chocolate from time to time.

Fad diets are no answer to sustained weight loss. You may lose some weight, but this is just water weight that will quickly be replaced once you begin to eat normally again. The real problem with these diets are that they are unhealthy, they do not contain enough calories that our bodies need for energy. Fad diets, why they are bad is because they do not contain the vital nutrients your body needs to function. A diet that is 900 calories or less is considered a starvation diet. Fad diets why they are bad is because many of these diets are low carbohydrate diets. A high protein low carbohydrate diet does not build muscle. If the body consumes more protein that it can synthesize, the extra protein is converted to fat. When the body does not get enough carbohydrates it attacks the liver’s glycogen storage, your body’s normal storage place for carbohydrates. Glycogen is basically sugar, which is broken down and used by the muscles. This distracts hydration from muscle tissue and leaves the body at risk for dehydration and mineral deficiencies. Dehydration symptoms include: headache, decreased blood pressure, weakness, muscle cramping and dizziness. Dehydration also disturbs your body’s electrolyte balance. Fad diets why they are bad is become some of them use diet pills. Some of these diet pills contain ephedrine, and some add caffeine to the mix. These pills are supposed to decrease your appetite. What the diet pills really do is speed up your heart rate and make you anxious and irritable. Some people can develop a psychological dependence on them. Fad diets why they are bad is because some of them restrict your diet to just one or two foods. This does not provide adequate nutrition. They rob your diet of needed carbohydrates, which puts your body in a state of ketosis. Ketosis is an abnormal body reaction, which occurs during starvation. Ketosis disturbs the body’s carbohydrate utilization. Ketosis can cause you to be tired. It can also lead to nausea, vomiting and constipation. Long term effects of continued ketosis can lead to heart and kidney disease. Quick weight loss methods can lead to muscle injury, making you more susceptible to a serious injury. Fad diets why they are bad is because teens and children may try them. This is a time when their appearance is important for their self esteem. Fad diets are dangerous to growing bodies. Dieting can affect their concentration along with the side effects already mentioned. Fad diets in children can stop or stall bone growth. These diets can affect their school performance, energy level and behavior. Fad diet regimens can cause a lot of health problems. These can include: feeling tired, depressed, less interest in sex, hypothyroidism, weight gain, extreme food cravings, hormone imbalances, digestion problem, decrease the body’s immune system, cause mood swings, and can cause premature skin aging. Fad diets why they are bad is because they do not deliver what they promise. People waste their money on there products. The diet may lead to more weight gain in the end. The biggest deterrent to fad dieting is the cost it may have on your health. Fad dieting can contribute to developing eating disorders. Fad diets why are bad is because they do not offer adequate nutrition and can lead to illness.
