Title: The Most Popular Diet Programs Out Today
Author: Andrew Gee
Article:
The following article is one of a series of articles which focus
on Self Improvement, Motivation and Empowerment. It is based on
research done over twenty years as a personal and business
coach. This self improvement article was written in response to
questions which have been asked on losing weight and <b>long
term weight loss</b> as well as address common challenges that
people have with this subject. I sincerely hope that you find
the following information of value.
The race to fitness is on and a lot of people are getting into
the band wagon. Some people do it to achieve a sexy body, some
people just do it because they are embarrassed with the body
they have now, while others do it simply to remain fit and
heatlthy.
As such, many fitness programs are out in the internet, in gyms,
spas and fitness centers all over. Some are too expensive to
afford that one may even lose weight just by trying to work out
the money needed to pursue these fitness programs.
One may not have to go to the gym or the spa or any fitness
center and spend much just to slim down to obtain that longed
for sexy body. There are many books available in the bookstore
which offer weight loss programs which are convenient and for
free, of course the books are not though.
These weight loss programs, or diet plans are gaining immense
popularity with so much publicity, testimonials and reviews that
one may be confused which exactly to follow. So before choosing
which weight loss plan to follow, try reading these summaries
about the most popular diet programs out today.
Atkins' New Diet Revolution by Dr. Atkins. This weight loss
program encourages high protein diet and a trim down on the
carbs. One can feast on vegetables and meat but should fast on
bread and pasta. One is also not restricted against fat intake
so it is okay to pour in the salad dressing and freely spread on
the butter. However, after the diet, one may find himself
lacking on fiber and calcium yet high in fat. Intake of grains
and fruits are also limited.
Carbohydrate Addict's Diet by Drs. Heller. This diet plan
advocates low carbohyrate eating. Approves on eating meats,
vegetables and fruits, dairy and grain products. however, warns
against taking in too much carb. "Reward" meal can be too high
on fats and saturated fats.
Choose to Lose by Dr. Goor. Restrains fat intake. One is given a
"fat" budget and he is given the liberty on how to spend it. It
does not pressure the individual to watch his carbohydrate
intake. Eating meat and poultry as well as low-fat dairy and
seafoods is okay. A go signal is also given on eating
vegetables, fruits, cereals, bread and pasta.
This weight loss plan is fairly healthy, good amounts of fruits
and vegetables as well as saturated fats. Watch triglyceride
levels though; if high, trim down the carbohydrates and tuck in
more of the unsaturated fats.
========SIDEBAR========
When it comes to the subject of self improvement, I fully
understand (through my own experiences) that it is a lot easier
said than done. However, you are here, right now, because you
have a desire to improve your self or you are at least
interested in this subject. Perhaps you are reading this to help
a friend or colleague - great. If this article helps you or you
help a friend, paying it forward is what lif'e all about so we
all win.
======END SIDEBAR======
The DASH Diet. Advocates moderate amounts of fat and protein
intake and high on carbs. Primarily designed to lower blood
pressure, the diet plan follows the pyramid food guide and
encourages high intake of whole wheat grains as well as fruits
and vegetables and low-fat dairy. Some dieters think it
advocates too much eating to procure significant weight loss.
Eat More, Weigh Less by Dr. Ornish. Primarily vegetarian fare
and strictly low-fat. Gives the go signal on the "glow" foods
but warns to watch it on non-fat dairy and egg whites. This diet
is poor in calcium and retricts consumption of healthy foods
like seafoods and lean poultry.
Eat Right for Your Type. Interesting because it is based on the
person's blood type. recommends plenty of mest for people with
the blood type O. Diet plans for some blood types are
nutritionally imbalanced and too low in calories. And for the
record, there is even no proof that blood type affects dietary
needs.
The Pritkin Principle. Focused on trimming the calorie density
in eating by suggesting watery foods that make one feel full.
Eating vegetables, fruits, oatmeal, pasta, soups, salads and
low-fat dairy is okay. Although limits protein sources to lean
meat, seafood and poultry. Although it is healthy by providing
low amounts of saturated fats and rich amounts of vegetables and
fruits, it is also low on calcium and limits lean protein
sources.
Volumetrics. For low-density calorie eating. Recommends the same
foodstuff as Pritkin but restricts fatty or dry foods like
popcorn, pretzels and crackers. This plan is reasonably healthy
given the high amounts of fruits and vegetables as well as being
low in calorie density and saturated fats.
The Zone. Moderately low on the carbs yet moderately high on the
proteins. Encourages low-fat protein foods like fish and chicken
plus veggies, fruits and grains. It is also healthy but lacking
in grains and calcium.
Weight Watchers. High carbohydrates, moderate on fats and
proteins. A very healthy diet plan and very flexible too. it
allows the dieter to plan his own meal rather than give him a
set to follow.
