Which Diet Works Best?

Which diet works best?

Diet, dieting, which diet? Seems like everyone is talking about them.

Americans lose millions of pounds a year - only to gain most of it back
within a year, no matter what diet they tried.

You've probably heard over and over again that the real secret to losing weight permanently is to make permanent diet changes in your eating habits and lifestyle.

For most people, the focus should be lowering your carbohydrate intake of such things as bread, pastas, cookies, cakes and things with sugars and sweeteners and reach for more vegetables. Most vegetables have some carbohydrates in them. The secret is they are broken down more slowly than the white flour products and so
your insulin does not spike.

Your diet must some good quality protein so that you do not have muscle wasting. By building your muscles through diet and exercise you will actually burn off more of the excess fat.

And do be sure to get some good oils such as flax or olive oil, as your nervous system and brain do not work well without oils. In addition, good oils also help you to lose weight.

It is a fact that no matter what the latest diet craze, over and over throughout the years, the one diet that causes a long-term, permanent weight loss is the 'eat a well-balanced, portion-controlled diet and exercise regularly'. Why not start today to make changes to your diet?
