An Effective Diet Program Can be Pretty Simple
Those who need to lose weight are constantly searching for diets that work. The problem isn’t really finding a diet that works, but rather locating a diet to which a person can stick. The diet industry is huge. With books, diet food programs, trainers and nutritionists, spas, and all the other parts of the health and diet industry a lot of loot, over 46.8 billion dollars in 2005, is made not from people becoming healthy or losing weight, but rather from people trying to become healthy or lose weight. Because repeat business brings in the cash, the focus is naturally on methods and products that work for a short period of time but result in return business.
So you want a diet that works? Here’s one. Combine limiting caloric intake to 1000 calories a day with at least 30 minutes of exercise at least five days a week. It’s a guarantee you’ll lose weight. But there are two problems. #1 cravings will likely end the diet. 1000 calories and all that exercise will eventually lead to ruinous hunger and binge eating. First it’s a potato chip or slice of cake, then it’s an extra hot dog and the whole bag of chips, and then the diet is over. #2 the diet eventually ends. You soon go back to eating the same old way. Next beach season, or next time to put on that dress or tuxedo, or next vacation, or simply the next time you look into a mirror on the way out of the shower it will be time to return to a diet to lose the unwanted pounds.
The best diet is a permanent diet. A lifestyle change to healthier eating habits and more exercise is the best way to lose weight and keep off the unwanted pounds. Connie Guttersen created the Sonoma Diet which, as a base, discusses ten “power foods.” These are almonds, bell peppers, blueberries, broccoli, grapes, olive oil, spinach, strawberries, tomatoes and whole grains, combined with the cuisine of the Sonoma country, which includes Asian, Latin American and Mediterranean influences. The diet includes a wide variety of real, and enjoyable foods so it’s easy to stay on it .
Want a diet that works for healthy weight loss? Move your mind from a short term diet to permanent eating habits that go along with an overall healthy and active lifestyle. That’s the way to not only lose the weight, but to avoid gaining it in the first place.
