The South Beach Diet

noreply@blogger.com (DimOpress) — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 06:16:20 PST

The South Beach Diet is one of the odd fishes swimming in the treacherous waters of the international weight loss industry. Many people love it and are perfectly willing to swear by the good name of M.D. Arthur Agatston, while others find it hard to stick to the obligatory induction phase. The South Beach Diet belongs to the low-carbohydrates group of diets and has been derided as a fad diet,

The GI Plan Diet : Glycemic Index

noreply@blogger.com (DimOpress) — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 06:12:49 PST

One of the most interesting ideas to take the dieting industry by storm is the Glycemic Index. The index was compiled in the early 1980s at the University of Toronto and is a ranking system for carbohydrates based on their immediate effect on blood glucose levels. Carbohydrates that break down rapidly during digestion and are easily converted to glucose have the highest glycemic indexes. Those

The Grapefruit Diet

noreply@blogger.com (DimOpress) — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 06:06:28 PST

The Grapefruit Diet is one of the fad diets that were really popular back in the 1980s although it has been in one form or another since 1930. Most of the time, the grapefruit diet has been discounted by experts as dangerously unbalanced or simply unable to deliver on its promises. It was generally thought that consuming vast quantities of grapefruit cannot influence weight loss in any way, which

The Mayo Clinic Diet

noreply@blogger.com (DimOpress) — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 06:02:42 PST

Welcome to the Mayo Clinic Diet that doesn’t come from the Mayo Clinic. This diet is a strange idea that has been floating around for a long time, despite the fact that it is not endorsed by the Mayo Clinic. Once again dieters are face to face with the misleading idea that somehow grapefruit burns fat, which leaves the dieter free to indulge in high fat food like ham and eggs for breakfast and

The Slim Fast Diet

noreply@blogger.com (DimOpress) — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 05:59:37 PST

Some diets advise dieters to eat large quantities of vegetables, others try to make people eat a single food for a whole day. The Slim Fast Diet has the shake. It sounds pretty much like what the folks at Herbalife are pushing, although it may be the other way around. Diets are a dime a dozen these days and it’s hard to keep track of who came with which idea and when. So let’s discuss instead the

The Traffic Light Diet

noreply@blogger.com (DimOpress) — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 05:55:21 PST

The Traffic Light Diet relies on what may probably be the best-known color code around to teach the user which foods should be avoided and which should be consumed in greater proportions. This diet focuses on cutting down the amount of calories contained in the daily food, instead of carbohydrates. Nothing new here, for that matter; a lot of diets are based on low-calorie foods. The cabbage soup

The X-Factor Diet : Simplified

noreply@blogger.com (DimOpress) — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 05:51:05 PST

Well, it seems that people who cannot come up with an original idea, can at least think of a trendy name containing the eye-catching and product selling letter “X” and maybe even a reference to the popular X-Files series. I know that the X-Files series is now ancient history, but so are the glory days of the Atkins diet and of many other low carbs diets. However, this doesn’t mean that low-carbs

The Zone Diet

noreply@blogger.com (DimOpress) — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 05:51:46 PST

The celebrity diet par excellence. It’s trendy to be in the Zone and it’s nice to be in the company of stars, to go through what they have gone. The Zone is also a nice sounding name, good for all kinds of marketing purposes. One of the things that have made this diet a success among celebrities is the fact that a lot of diet food delivery companies have included Zone foods in their menus. Those

Top 10 Fitness Mistakes : How to Avoid

noreply@blogger.com (DimOpress) — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 05:41:06 PST

Nearly every guy or gal who’s tried dieting or fitness has dropped out of a program at least once. Such is life. Work and social events tend to get in the way, lack of adequate emotional support saps the willpower and boredom sets in. Eating the same kind of foods every day is boring. Suiting up at the gym only to go through the same motions is also boring. But this kind of mood can be avoided

Why Some Diets that Will Never Work

noreply@blogger.com (DimOpress) — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 06:28:17 PST

There are diets that work for certain people, there are diets that do not work for certain people and then there are diets that never really work for anybody at all.

Free Diet Plans : They Can Work

noreply@blogger.com (DimOpress) — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 06:23:32 PST

Dieting web sites and dieting plans are so successful that it's almost a given that anybody can find the perfect free dieting scheme on the internet. Free diet plans are, well, free - you don't pay anything upfront. But many people don’t trust them having a good reason.

Lose Weight With Water

noreply@blogger.com (DimOpress) — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 01:50:53 PDT

The human body is mostly water trapped inside the fragile walls of cells. We drink water to maintain the optimum level of hydration in our bodies, to flush the toxins out and cleanse the body, to cool off, to keep the joints working and to help the food digestion process. The minimum daily recommended water intake is 2 liters, because this is how much water the body uses throughout the day

Why Diet Plans Fail

noreply@blogger.com (DimOpress) — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 01:45:20 PDT

The first reaction of most people who discover that they’ve put some weight on is to eat less food. It sounds simple enough and reasonable. Since food is what got us into trouble it follows that eating less of it will make everything right again. Nearly every diet or eating plan in the magazines or on the Internet says pretty much the same thing: eat less food. Therefore the answer to this

Too Many Calories

noreply@blogger.com (DimOpress) — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 03:33:11 PDT

How many calories do you need? Well, that depends on a lot of things. Your age, sex, type of work, physical activity, all come into play. There is no one answer for this type of thing. I have to warn you, I don't believe the general ideas on how many calories a person should have. If you have a 2,000 calorie diet, you are starving yourself. I know that some people live and die by this number, but

A diet in high fatty meats can lead to heart disease and cancer. No one wants that.

Low Fat Dessert

No meal is over unless there is a dessert involved. If you are here in America, you know that most of the desserts out there are bad for you. They are loaded with salt, sugar and or fat.

Food Addiction : Why and How to Break It

noreply@blogger.com (DimOpress) — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 02:06:25 PDT

Everyone from time to time gets a craving for a certain type of food. Sometimes we just crave something to eat. No real reason, other than to eat. Sometimes this can be because you are bored, or because you seem something suggestive about food. How many times have you seen a television commercial advertising burgers and it made you want one? This is healthy. We all do it. Hell, I'd say that we

What About Fat ?

noreply@blogger.com (DimOpress) — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 00:44:53 PDT

Most of us are focused on fat. It is all that we hear about these days. Since the time we are kids we are told that fat is bad for us. Some people are more worried about calories than fat. To be honest you should be worried about both. You need to make sure that your diet isn't full of junk food. You should be getting your calories from foods that are good for you. Who cares about not eating any
