Picking The Right Diet
There is a surplus of diets on the market. And if the experts cannot agree on which diet is best, how are you supposed to choose one?
Finding the right diet can be harder than finding a needle in a hay field.
So here is what to look for when considering a diet:
1. Recommended amount of calories. Yes, eating an insanely small amount of calories will help you lose weight, but there will be consequences. And if you go below 1200 calories, the health risks begin to mount.
2. Sufficient carb intake. Your body and brain needs a bare minimum amount of carbohydrates for proper functioning. Less than about one hundred grams per day and you will lose calorie-burning muscle in addition to low levels of focus.
3. Inclusion of all food groups. If the plan requires that you exclude a food group, it will most likely be very unhealthy. Why? Because wide varieties of foods interact with each other in ways that we currently do not understand.
4. Sufficient variety. Any plan should have sufficient variety to keep your palate appeased. The level of variety needed will vary from person to person. And if a diet requires a very narrow intake of food items then it will probably not be sustainable.
5. Cross promotions. If the plan you are looking at actively promotes products from which the author is affiliated, then the information is likely going to be skewed. Seek out unbiased plans that are based on research, not marketing.
6. Supplement centrality. If the whole plan is central to a single dietary supplement, then it probably is based on faulty science at best. Stay away from one-hit-wonder programs.
Figuring out what diet is best for you can be quite the challenge, especially in this day and age. Your best bet is to find sources of information that are not profit driven. And if you follow my advice in this article, you will be one step closer to reaching your goals. - 17273
