How To Separate The Wheat From The Chaff When Choosing A Diet

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

With so many diets out there and so many opinions, how are you supposed to find the best plan for losing weight?

Finding the right diet can be harder than finding a needle in a hay field.

So without further delay, here is what to watch out for when finding the right plan to lose weight:

1. Recommended amount of calories. Yes, eating an insanely small amount of calories will help you lose weight, but there will be consequences. And if you go below 1200 calories, the health risks begin to mount.

2. Sufficient carb intake. Your body and brain needs a bare minimum amount of carbohydrates for proper functioning. Less than about one hundred grams per day and you will lose calorie-burning muscle in addition to low levels of focus.

3. Inclusion of all food groups. If the plan requires that you exclude a food group, it will most likely be very unhealthy. Why? Because wide varieties of foods interact with each other in ways that we currently do not understand.

4. Enough variety to appease your palate. Any plan you decide to do should allow just enough variety to keep you from feeling like a prisoner of food. Having said that, do not go overboard here because you will not be able to automate your cooking.

5. Up selling and cross selling of products. Be weary of diets where the author up sells and cross sells products from which he is affiliated. Such marketing schemes provide very biased information.

6. Mandatory supplements. Some supplements are very effective, most are not. If the diet you are considering is centered around a single wonder supplement, then you are better off looking the other way. A single supplement will not change the way your body looks.

There is a lot of information to navigate when it comes to finding the right diet plan for you. Luckily, if you follow my advice, you will be one step closer to finding a plan that works. So ignore all the marketing hype and make informed decisions. - 17269
