Diets That Work

Lots of people need to shed weight, and lots of folks are always searching for diets that work. It's not really difficult to find diets that work, but finding a diet a person can stick to is the problem. The 46.8 billion dollar diet industry (as of 2005) depends not on people staying healthy and staying thin, but rather on people taking an endless roller coaster ride between health and fat. Because the money comes from repeat business, the focus is naturally on methods and products that work for a short period but result in return business.

So you want a diet that works? Here's one. Combine limiting caloric intake to 1000 calories each day with at least 30 minutes of exercise at least five times a week. That diet will result in lost weight. But there are two issues. The first is that cravings are likely to ruin the diet. Sooner or later, particularly after intense work outs, those 1000 calories won't be enough to satisfy. One piece of cake, or just one bag of chips, or one extra hamburger will soon steer you to dropping off the diet. The second issue is what happens after the diet ends? What happens when the weight is shed? What, you'll return to eating the same way you ate before the diet? Guess what, then the weight will return. Next beach season, or next fancy dress party, or next family trip, or simply the next time you look into a mirror on the way out of the bathroom it will be once again be diet time.

The best diet is a permanent diet. More and more people now understand that to lose weight it's best to change lifestyle, including healthier eating habits and more exercise. Connie Guttersen created the Sonoma Diet which, as a base, focuses on 10 “power foods.” The power foods are almonds, bell peppers, blueberries, broccoli, grapes, olive oil, spinach, strawberries, tomatoes and whole grains, eaten in conjunction with the cuisine of the Sonoma country, which includes Asian, Latin American and Mediterranean foods and dishes. The diet includes a wide variety of real, and enjoyable foods so it's easy to remain on it .

Want a diet that works? Move your mind from a short term diet to a long term style that's part of 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.
