Best Weight Loss Diets - Which Will You Choose?
With so many options for weight loss, what's the best diet for you? You can choose a diet which offers personal interaction, or if you're pressed for time, choose a "fast" system which you manage on your own.
Let's look at some of the choices you have.
1.
Personal Interaction Diets Make You Accountable There are many personal interaction diets.
For example both Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig are personal interaction diets.
When you signed up for these diets you need to go to meetings.
The social interaction of these diets is very useful because it makes you accountable.
If you know you're going to be weighed next Monday, you're less likely to pig out on Thursday.
You know that there will be consequences for your actions.
The benefits of these diets is that you can be motivated by others' success and can get instant help for any challenges you're facing with your diet program.
The downside of these diets however is that they take more time than other diets simply because you have to go to meetings.
Although the meetings are short, when you include travel time, they account for a quite a bit of time.
2.
Counting Diets: Low Calorie, or Low Carb? The "counting" diets force you to focus on what you're eating.
They take some planning because you need to shop for special diet foods, and this can also mean that if you end up cooking different meals for the family than you're cooking for yourself.
These kinds of diets also take a lot of study time in the beginning, because you're trying to work out what you can and what you can't eat.
However, the benefits of these diets are that you don't have to attend any special meetings, so they save you time.
The downside of these diets is that they can be boring.
For example in low-calorie diets, you don't get very much to eat.
This means you'll tend to pick a few low-calorie foods and eat those week after week.
This means that after a month or two, you're so bored that you give up the diet in disgust.
3.
Just Stop Eating: Intermittent Fasting A new diet program called intermittent fasting has become very popular in the past year.
This is because the diet makes no special demands on you, other than requiring you to stop eating entirely for one day a week.
While this sounds drastic, in reality it's a relief after the complexity of other diets.
You don't have to do any special shopping or cooking, nor do you have to learn any theories.
This means that this diet is a great time saver.
The benefits of this diet are that there's no special effort needed on your part, and on your fasting days you have much more energy because energy isn't being expended in digestion.
The downside of intermittent fasting is that you may feel considerable peer pressure if you go on this diet: we're all trained to think that not eating (even for a short time) is unhealthy.
So which of the weight-loss diets will you choose? Everyone is different.
Choose a diet that fits into your lifestyle.
Which diet you choose isn't as important as choosing a diet and starting to lose weight -- you'll feel great when you do.
