Diet Trends

By Jeff Cline

Everyone is waiting for the new next big diet trend, in hopes that it will be the answer. Everyone is waiting for that magic pill to be introduced. The big secret is what can we do to get the weight off and keep it off for more then a few months.

Depravation is not cool. Most fad diets involve some sort of depravation. They will drop the pounds right off of you, that is why they are popular. However, when you fail, and you will, you gain it all back and then some!

How about the "only eat this diets and you will lose". Well of course you will lose, any time you deprive yourself from food you will lose. But you lose more then weight most of the time, like nutrition. Nutrients that keep you healthy and energized.

Lets talk about the popular diets pills. There are literally thousands of these bought off the supermarket shelves everyday. Most of them can be very dangerous. Yu can develop problems such as; heart problems, stroke and digestive problems.

Let me be honest and frank and tell you the big weight loss secret. In fact, it is not a secret at all, we just tend to ignore it. The most efficient way to drop the weight and enjoy keeping it off is to incorporate a healthy diet and exercise routine into our lives.

You should only be losing 1-2 pounds per week to keep it healthy. If you losing more then that you probably are not doing something healthy. You need enough calories to sustain your body. You wouldn't want your hair to fall out and your skin to shrivel up like a prune.

Proper nutrition is important so don't reduce calories so much that you are passing out or a raging mad human being. Proper nutrition is important to our health and our physical appearance. How would you like to lose your hair and age 5 years, then stop eating.

So here is the deal. Make a commitment today to make healthier food choices. Be sure in get enough water. Eight, small glasses a day is good to shoot for. The best thing you can do to boost weight lose is add exercise into your daily schedule. - 15255
