Best Weight Loss Program          

The best weight loss program is one that provides you with a well balanced diet with plenty of variety in your food intake. There are a lot of fad diets out there. How do you choose. Low carb, high protein/low carb, the fruit diet, the list goes on. I do not believe it is necessary to go to these extremes. The simple act of following a healthy eating plan and paying attention to the amount of calories you eat combined with moderate exercise will help you lose weight in a steady safe way.

 

I personally know that you can lose a safe amount of weight each week without the need for resorting to extreme diets that starve your body of fats and carbohydrates. A safe amount of weight to lose each week is 1 – 2 pounds (1 kilo equals 2.2 pounds) and no more. I gained 33 kilos after starting a particular medical treatment. I craved food, not because I was hungry, I just wanted to eat and of course it was all sugary foods I craved. A large part of my healthy eating plan centers around portion control. This way I can still eat most of the foods I enjoy just in smaller amounts.


I have now turned this around and have lost 17 kilos, losing weight at a rate of approximately 1 kilo per week, without starving myself or going on a starvation diet of any sort. It is important to get to learn the calorie and fat values of the food you are eating and plan meals to keep your calorie intake at a certain level each day. We put on weight when we consume more calories than our bodies burn. Once you have a basic idea of the calorie values of the foods you eat in an average week, it is easy to keep a check of your daily intake.

 

A well balanced diet and moderate physical activity won’t produce huge amounts of weight loss but they are sustainable. If you eat a healthy diet, and one that you are enjoying, the better the chances are that you will stick with it and maintain the weight loss for life. A healthy diet does more than help you lose weight; it also helps keep you fit and healthy. Use the food pyramid to help you plan your meals and this will keep you on the right track.

 

Absolutely have a treat once a week but don’t get carried away. This is not about punishing yourself. I don’t even think of this as dieting. It is simply not eating more than our bodies need each day. It really is that simple. I also do not do strenuous hours of exercise every day. Simple exercises, these take about 10 – 15 minutes, and walking for half an hour at least four times a week. This is not hard exercise and is quite pleasant to do.

 

A healthy eating plan and moderate exercise are all that you need to start losing weight today and to keep it off for life. I hope this article has shown you how simple it is and inspired you to make a start towards a happier healthier you.

Diet and Carbs

There are so many different diets available that choosing the right one for you can be very confusing. In this article I will be looking at diet and carbs and explaining the importance of carbs in your diet and looking at low carb and high protein/low carb diets.

Whilst not all dieticians agree, a majority of experts feel that 45 – 55 % of daily calories should come from carbohydrates.

 Healthy, nutritious carbs include:

All of these foods give us necessary vitamins, minerals and fibre.

Couple this with reducing your daily intake of refined carbs like sugar and white bread.

Potatoes are also high in carbs. A diet consisting of no carbs is not healthy and not recommended. It can lead to a condition called ketosis the affects of which are nausea, dehydration and weakness. The affects can be very dangerous for a person with diabetes. A diet low in fiber can lead to constipation.

There is quite a range of popular low carb diets including the Atkins Diet, Sugar Busters and the Zone Diet. The low carb diets vary in the amounts of carbs they allow you to eat. Some allow 20 percent of calories to come from carbs whilst others allow up to 40 percent. It should be stated here that the US government recommends 50 – 55 percent. There is also the question of how much fat you can have.

The basic theory behind the low carb diet is that by eating less carbs the body is forced to burn fat. 

Do low carb diets work and are they healthy? Yes they do work and weight loss in the beginning may be faster but this may also be due to water loss. Very little study has been done on the health affects of low carb diets. There is some suggestion that after 12 months the weight loss is no higher than those on a more balanced diet and that the low carb diet may not be as harmful as has been thought.

Beware of the high protein/low carb diet, it may be harmful for some dieters. Remember that some high protein foods may be full of saturated fat and cholesterol. Too much protein can also cause a loss of calcium from bone and puts pressure on your kidneys because they have to work harder to eliminate the urea which comes from the bodies breaking down of protein. Your body could also notice the lack of glucose, fiber and some of these diets can be lacking in essential vitamins.

Most importantly, whilst you may experience an initial fast weight loss, this can be mainly from loss of water weight and lean muscle mass. Not the fat that you are trying to lose. There is also some evidence that you may rapidly gain weight when you go off the diet. 

Given all this information, it may be wise to look more closely at a more balanced diet where your body is receiving all the nutrition it needs to function. Starving your body of essential nutrients is not healthy or recommended. Always visit your medical practitioner and have a check up and seek his advice before starting out on a diet. He will be able to give you sound advice and guidance as to a healthy choice to make when choosing a diet.
