Diets That Work

People who need to lose weight are constantly searching for diets that work. It's not really hard to find diets that work, but finding a diet a person can stick to is the issue. 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 yo-yo ride between health and fat. Because the money comes from repeat business, the focus is naturally on the yo-yo reality of bad living followed by short periods of diets and health programs.Here's a diet that works. Combine limiting caloric intake to 1000 calories each day with at least 30 minutes of exercise at least 5 days a week. It's a guarantee you'll lose pounds. Only two small problems. The first is that cravings are likely to ruin the diet. 1000 calories and all that exercise will eventually lead to big hunger and binge eating. First it's a potato chip or piece of cake, then it's an extra hot dog and the whole bag of snacks, and then the diet is ended. The second problem is what happens after the diet ends? What happens when the weight is lost? What, you'll return to eating the same way you ate prior to the diet? Guess what, then the weight will return. Next beach season, or next fancy dress ball, or next family trip, or simply the next time you look into a looking glass on the way out of the bathroom 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 weight. The Sonoma Diet, created by Connie Guttersen, focuses on ten “power foods.” The power foods are almonds, bell peppers, blueberries, broccoli, grapes, olive oil, spinach, strawberries, tomatoes and whole grains, combined with the diet of the Sonoma country, which includes Asian, Latin American and Mediterranean influences. The diet includes a wide selection 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 permanent eating habits that go along with an overall healthy and active lifestyle. That way you won't put on the pounds in the first place.
