The Use Of Diet For Weight Loss...how Effective Can It Be?
There are many people who follow a certain diet to lose weight and that is fine
, but there are a few questions you need to ask yourself before you start. Or even if you have started, that way you can have a clear picture of what you are doing and the expectations that might occur to you.
Questions To Ask Yourself
-Are you following a diet that is realistic in terms of what you will be following in the long run?
-Are you happy following this type of diet, or if you have not started yet do think you will be? If you are not happy with the results, then most likely you wont follow the diet very long.
-Is this diet making you lose weight indiscriminately just for the sake of losing weight?
-What makes sense to you? Is it to follow a diet of meal replacements for the bulk of your meals, or to follow a diet that includes whole foods as the bulk of your diet?
-Are there strings attached to your diet, and what I mean by that is, do you have to buy this particular companys meals or buy their supplements? This procedure can create dependency and not independency in the long term.
-Are you getting sick or under the weather more than usual, and is it taking a long time to recover? Maybe it is because of the diets nutrient deficiency and quality.
-Is this diet giving you enough energy to work out on a consistent basis?
I am not going to discourage you from following one diet or another, but in my personal experience and other personal trainers there are many diets which will make you lose weight temporarily. One or more of the above reasons I have mentioned, and what you end up is going from one diet to another until you get frustrated and give up.
But if you really think you need to follow a diet to lose weight then here is my recommendation
-Your diet should be only from whole foods with the exceptions of some high quality vitamins and minerals if you or your qualified nutritionist thinks you need them.
-The food should be available in the public grocery stores and not by one or two sources that can control your daily eating.
-If you are a busy Mom, college student, or a career woman, and dont know how and what to cook or how to prepare foods at home, then you should learn by managing your time better. Period.
-Be observant of what you eat, and the portions in terms of quantity. And after a few months of tracking how much you eat, you will be good at diagnosing your eating habits, and, therefore, can modify your diet to lose weight.
