Some people do it in order to have a beautiful body, some people do it because they are ashamed of their body as it is now, while others do it just to remain fit and healthy. As such, there are hundreds of fitness programs on the Internet, in gyms, spas and fitness centres all over the world. Some are very - so dear that you will lose weight quickly, just because you have to work hard to earn the money to pay for these fitness programs.
You may not need to go to the gymnasium, the spa or any fitness centre and spend much just to slim down and get that desired beautiful body. There are so many books in the bookshops offering weight loss programs which seem easy and cheap. However, the books are not cheap though. These diet plans are gaining increased popularity because of their publicity, testimonials and reviews and you may be confused as to exactly which one to buy. So before you choose which weight loss plan to follow, try checking out the following summaries of the most popular diet programs out today.
The Atkins’ New Diet Revolution by Dr. Atkins: This diet plan encourages a high protein diet with fewer carbohydrates. You can eat loads of vegetables and meat, but must not eat bread, rice or pasta. You are not restricted with your fat consumption so it is all right to pour on the (correct) salad dressing and freely spread on the butter. However, during the diet, some people may find themselves short on fibre and high on fat and cholesterol. Grains and fruits are also strictly limited.
The Carbohydrate Addict’s Diet by Drs. Heller. This diet plan also advocates low carbohydrate food. It approves eating meats, vegetables and fruits, dairy and grain products. however, warns against taking in too many carbohydrates. “Reward” meals can be very high in fats and saturated fats.
Choose to Lose: by Dr. Goor. It advises restricting your fat consumption. You are allowed a “fat” budget, but you are given freedom on how to use it. It does not force people to watch their carbohydrate consumption. Eating meat and poultry as well as low-fat dairy and seafood is OK. You can also eat vegetables, fruits, cereals, bread and pasta. This weight loss plan is fairly healthy, because it recommends healthy amounts of fruits and vegetables and saturated fats. Watch your triglyceride levels though. If they are high, trim down on the carbohydrates and eat more unsaturated fats.
The DASH Diet. Recommends moderate amounts of fat and protein but lots of carbohydrates. Primarily designed to lower blood pressure, so the diet plan follows the pyramid food guide and encourages a high intake of whole wheat grains as well as fruit and vegetables and low-fat dairy. Some dieters think it advocates too much eating to produce significant weight loss.
Eat More, Weigh Less: by Dr. Ornish. Primarily vegetarian fare and strictly low-fat. Warns to look out for low-fat dairy and egg whites. This diet plan is low in calcium and restricts the consumption of healthy foods like seafood and lean poultry.
Eat Right for Your Type: This diet is quite unusual because it centres its advice on your blood group. For instance, it recommends plenty of meat for people with the blood type O. However, diet plans for some blood types are nutritionally unbalanced and very low in calories. However, just for the record, there is no evidence that blood type can affect dietary needs.
The Pritkin Principle: It focuses on cutting back on the amount of calories by eating ‘watery’ foods that make you feel full. It recommends eating vegetables, fruits, oatmeal, pasta, soups, salads and low-fat dairy, which it says is fine, although it also restricts protein sources to lean meat, seafood and poultry. It is healthy because it provides low amounts of saturated fats and high amounts of vegetables and fruits. However, it is low on calcium and restricts lean protein sources.
Volumetrics: It provides for eating fewer calories. It recommends the same foods as Pritkin but restricts fatty or dry foods like popcorn, pretzels and crackers. This plan is reasonably healthy given the high volume of fruit and vegetables as well as being low in calories and saturated fats.
The Zone: It is moderately low on carbohydrates yet fairly high on proteins. It recommends low-fat protein foods such as fish and chicken plus vegetables, fruits and grains. It is also a healthy diet but lacking in grains and calcium.
Weight Watchers: They advise high carbohydrate meals, but are moderate on fats and proteins. A very healthy diet plan and very flexible too. It permits the dieter to devise his own meals rather than offering recipes, although there are Weight Watchers’ TV dinners in the shops.
