Tired Of Diet Tips That Don\'t Work?

We are bombarded everyday with diet tips here and there. Over information causes more confusion and some are even out just to cash in on the ignorance of a lot of people. If you are like me who likes to follow these trends, I am sure you are overwhelmed as well by the sheer amount of infomercials you encounter. Knowing what is right and healthy is important before trying a program. That is why i prefer testimonials from boot camp weight loss participants because they have been there and can attest whether the program works or not.

Diet Tips to Help You Lose Weight Effectively

1. The Fit for Life Diet: which is based on the principles of food combining. Based on the principles set forth originally by the famous naturalist Dr. Herbert Shelton, one is to eat proteins and carbohydrates at separate meals. Each meal should contain abundant vegetables. See the Suzanne Somers Diet which is based on this principle as well. You will get many diet tips from this popular diet. Except for eating only fruits in the morning, the basic laws of food combining can be extremely effective in helping you shed those pounds.


2. Atkins Diet: This approach has proven itself over and over again helping people consistently lose weight by totally abolishing carbs, including complex carbohydrates. According to Atkins, vegetables are adequate your carbohydrates intake, and will not cause weight gain.


3. Calorie Restriction Diet: If you were to restrict your daily calories, you will most likely lose weight. The key is to do this wisely. Don’t rush. I’ve seen people lose weight quite effectively by starting out at 2300 calories a day, and each week or two, they would lower the calorie intake to 1600 calories. They suffered no side effects, no hunger and no cravings. They just continued to lose weight until they reached their goals.


4. Independent of which diet you are on, stick to it. I have seen people do diets on a two week rotational basis. Either they would get tired of their present diet, or would run into a snag, such as cravings, and they would break the diet and try another one. This “yo yo” approach to dieting will never work. Pick a diet and make it work for you. Fix the holes, and create a balance. True, some diets may work better than others, but you can find the one that has given you the most results, and stick to it.


5. Gymnema: Gymnema has always worked for my clients to break their cravings. Take one or two gymnema tablets at each meal to help balance your blood sugar.


6. Antioxidants: Acai and goji berries make a perfect balance to help you with your weight loss. They help balance your blood sugar, as well as detoxify your body from years of toxic buildup and eating all the wrong “junk” foods.


7. Water: Hydrating your body continues to detoxify as well as curb your appetite. Especially if the water itself is more alkaline such as in Liquid Coral Water. An alkaline body helps to flush out the excess toxins, so make sure to drink plenty of water!


8. Homeopathic Growth Hormone: (over the counter, and not the kind of growth hormone taken by baseball players) can do wonders for increasing your metabolism and helping you lose weight.


9. Exercise: Make sure to get enough daily exercise! Exercise works best in the mornings or afternoons. Aerobic exercise can pick up your metabolism, so if you exercise at night and then go to sleep, you will not get all the benefits of the increased metabolism. original source

 7 tips for diet success

Prepare for the week ahead by making a meal plan and doing your shopping for the week. Buy enough for lunch and dinner and healthy snacks for the next five days, she suggested.

Cook at least two meals from your plan and freeze them on Sunday, she added.“I call them sacred Sundays. Use this day to reset and nourish yourself and that way you will find the week doesn’t pile up on you and you are more rested and in control. This prevents you from running on empty,” she explained.

Burrell suggests writing down an exercise plan for every day of the week. Prioritise Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for exercise so that if things get busy later in the week you have at least three sessions done, Burrell said.

“Given our sedentary lives and jobs we also need to include half-an-hour to one-hour of walking to make up for how much we don’t move during the day. This could be walking to the station, or taking a half hour walk at lunchtime,” she said.

Burrell recommends drinking only one milk coffee a day, eating breakfast before 8am, making vegetables the focus of your snacks and having one, low calorie day per week. Bring lunch to work four days a week and avoid eating at your desk, she suggests.

Take a good combination of protein, carbohydrate and vegetables, followed by a cup of herbal tea and try for at least a 20-minute walk after you eat to aid digestion and up your movement quota.

Get up early and don’t sleeping too late, as it can set your day back and can lead to problems spiralling out of control, she said. Eat the majority of your food by 3pm. Breakfast by 8am, lunch by 1pm and dinner by 7pm, she recommends.

Learn how to compensate, she said. For example if you overindulge for one meal make sure the next one is as light as possible, like a replacement-meal shake or a salad. original source

Did you find the articles helpful? I like the second article so much because I find it sensible and does not over promise. It teaches us how to work for it by following sensible weight loss tips. I love the video as well. The suggested meals are not only healthy but also nutritious and easy to prepare. Dieting becomes exciting if we make nutritious food delicious too. I learned from my brother that the boot camp diet given to them at fat camp uk is like this too - nutritious and sumptuous. And the best part of it all? I saw him drop a size down in a week's time. Now, isn't that amazing?
