Weight Loss Diets - A Review Of 4 Popular Diets
There are a number of diets available, but here I review four which are
popular at the moment.
1000 calorie diet
Trying the 1000 calorie diet is only advisable for one week, due to your
body entering starvation mode and conserving fat. Overdoing the 1000
calorie diet is counterproductive to your body so try to stay on it for
only 1 week. After 1 week you will loose between 3-5 pounds.
The 1000
calorie diet can be used as a starter diet for a long term weight loss
program. Try to aim for 2-3 pounds of weight loss and a good exercise
program to begin
with.
After 1 week on the 1000 calorie diet, try upping your calorie
intake or reverting back to a not so severe diet, this will prevent your
body's metabolism from slowing down. Here is a simple 1000 calorie daily
menu.
Breakfast * Banana sandwich made with 2 slices of whole meal bread and a
small banana. * Small glass of orange juice
Snack * 1 pot of low fat yoghurt (preferably fruit)
Lunch * 1 whole meal roll filled with tuna and low fat mayonnaise (use
tin tuna in spring water) * Mixed lettuce salad, red or yellow sweet
peppers, spring onions
Snack * 1 bag of lower fat crisps
Dinner * Roast chicken breast (without skin) * Potatoes, mashed with
30ml semi-skimmed milk * Broccoli (all vegetables steamed or boiled) *
Carrots * Gravy (made from granules)
Evening * 1 low calorie hot chocolate drink made with powder and water
Drinks throughout the day * Diet coke, water, black coffee or tea
without sugar
The 1000 calorie diet can be used as a starter diet for a long term
weight loss program. Try to aim for 2-3 pounds of weight loss and a good
exercise program to begin with.
Remember after 1 week on the 1000
calorie diet, try upping your calorie intake or
reverting back to a not so severe diet, this will prevent your body's
metabolism from slowing down.
Vegetarian Diet
A well balanced vegetarian diet provides many benefits for the body.
Some of those benefits include a reduced risk of chronic diseases, such
as:
* Obesity * Coronary artery disease * Hypertension * High blood pressure
* Diabetes * Some types of cancer and more...
Your vegetarian diet, must be planned well. If not your body could end
up in need of some vital nutrients. Some of these nutrients essential
for the body are:
* Protein * Minerals (zinc, calcium, iron) * Vitamin b12 * Vitamin d
Protein sources include, tofu and other soy-based products, legumes,
seeds, nuts, grains, and vegetables
Experts say that in order for a balanced vegetarian diet, you should eat
nuts and whole grain cereals for good sources amino acids.
Greens such as spinach, kale and broccoli are a good source of calcium.
For sources of vitamin b12 which comes from animals, can be substituted
with fortified breakfast cereals and fortified soy drinks.
Sources of iron are red meats, liver and egg yolks which are all high in
cholesterol. Spinach, dried beans and dried fruits are all good
vegetarian sources of iron.
A vegetarian diet is healthier than a meat diet. However this does not
mean that you have the right to stuff your face with crisps, chocolate
and chips everyday. Your balanced diet should include all of the above,
i.e. Fruit, vegetables, nuts, dairy produce and soy. Below is a table of
some calorie controls in a vegetarian diet:
Food Group 1200 Calorie 1500 Calorie 1800 Calorie Vegetables 5 servings
6 servings 8 servings Fruits 3 servings 3 servings 5 servings Grains 2
servings 3 servings 4 servings Dairy 2 servings 2-3 servings 2-3
servings Beans, Nuts and Seeds 5oz 6oz 7oz Total Fat 30-35g 40-50g
50-60g
You can find a massive rage of diets on the internet free of charge! A
vegetarian diet is an all round healthier option, and can go a long way
to helping you on the road to losing weight.
Abs Diet
The Abs Diet works on the theory that every 1lb of muscle gained, your
body intern burns an extra 50 calories per day. So if you can build an
extra 10lb of muscle your body will then burn an extra 500 calories per
day.
Using the Abs Diet your body will burn more energy by eating the
correct foods and exercising the correct way. Losing 500 calories per
day will loose you 1lb of weight per week. Expect to loose up to 12lb in
the first two
weeks followed by 5-8lb in the forth coming two
The Abs Diet allows you to eat 6 meals per day which consist of 12 power
foods, such as: chicken, turkey and other lean meat, olive oil, beans
and pulses, almonds, low fat dairy products, green vegetables, oats,
eggs, wholegrain bread, whole grain
cereals, berries, and protein powder. All other food is a not allowed.
For 6 weeks you will eat a series of 12 power foods, which provide the
body with all the fibre and minerals you need to stay healthy and build
muscle. Along with the diet you will do a 20 min workout three times per
week, which will aid in the fat burning.
The Abs diet is mainly aimed at men, however women are encouraged to
participate. The range of foods you can eat is still good and you do get
an exercise program out of it. Also some very good looking Abs, health
and sex life. The full diet book is: The Abs Diet by David Zinczenko
from all good on-line book stores.
The Kellogg's Cereal Diet
One of the simplest diets around at the moment is the Kellogg's Cereal
Diet. It is not a crash weight loss diet which will loose you pounds
upon pounds; however it will allow you to get into those jeans that are
1 size to small.
To start the Kellogg's Diet all you have to do is, eat one bowl of
Kellogg's Special K or Cornflakes for breakfast, and also one for a
replacement lunch or dinner. That's all! Carry this on for two weeks
then you will see the results. Expect to loose around 3-6lb.
Whist on your diet, Kellogg's allow you to have the same drinks and
snacks as you usually would, but recommend that you eat a well balanced
meal every day, with more fruit and vegetables.
Another tip from
Kellogg's, is to keep a food diary to monitor and keep you aware of your
current eating habits.
