Will Any Diet Help Me Keep Weight Off?

By: Michael Crockett

You probably already know the main advantage of any diet is you feel better and are healthier Some diets claim you can loose up to 10 plus pounds in two weeks. This is true you can loose weight quickly but the trick is not to gain the weight back. If you look for diets that offer a balanced diet and incorporates exercise or some type of physical activity you will have a much better chance to keep thin and healthy.

When you combine healthy eating with exercise you have made a life style change. You can add small changes to your diet plan to keep improving you diet program. You are more likely to keep the weight off and help you develop lifelong patterns of healthy eating, keep your metabolism and energy levels up, and help you stay fit and trim.

Healthy Diets helps keep your metabolism and energy levels up, by having you eat four times a day. When you eat less food, more often, it helps keep your metabolism to stay high and your energy level constant. Not only will you feel better, have more energy, and easily fight fatigue your high metabolism will help burn calories quicker, for the rest of your life, as long as you stay in the habit!

Eating less, more often, also helps shrink your stomach, as long as you follow the instructions and eat until satisfied (but not stuffed). This will help you to pig out less. You won't just loose weight you'll keep it off as well! Even when you're done with the diet, you'll still keep the healthier eating habits for the rest of your life!

A lot of people eat too many fats and carbs and not enough protein. this isn't some sort of masochistic "eat bacon all day" Atkins-like diet you meed a diet plan that includes fruits and vegetables and pretty much everything you love to eat!--it will get you in the habit of eating correct amounts of protein.

Eating protein boosts a hormone that staves off hunger. Peptide YY, or PYY, has been shown to increase weight-loss by 1/3 when eaten in its proper amounts. While the program isn't some hardcore bacon-eating diet like Atkins, it does make sure you get your right amount of protein which many of us simply don't get.

The average American gets almost fifty percent of his or her calories from carbohydrates, and only 16% from protein. It's estimated that those few people living in hunter-gatherer societies take in about twice that in protein. You can find pictures on the internet of people living in the few remaining hunter-gatherer societies--do any of those people look fat?

Probably the biggest advantage, though is a diet that is easy to do. No system shock when going off carbs. No high-priced Jenny Craig or Nutrisystem meals to buy. And most importantly, you don't have to suddenly discipline yourself like a drill sergeant every time you sit down to a meal.

All in all, you may have to do a lot of research on dieting to find the perfect diet for yourself that meets your needs and customize it to your life style.
