Diets, The Good, The Bad and The Dangerous.

We all know there are diets and there are diets, as with most other things in life not all diets are created equal.

Every year we hear of a new "super weight loss diet" that's "guaranteed" to make you lose those unwanted kilos in the blink of an eye and with no effort on your part.

Many of us have been sucked into buying this and trying that, desperate in the hope that this one will be the diet plan that will see us finally reach those weight loss goals that we so desperately need in our lives.

There are however some very good, well researched and scientifically proven weight loss diets that actually work for many people and these are definitely worth our consideration when we're trying to lose weight.

There are also several different types of diet that we should consider when we’re looking to lose weight and understanding each of these would probably be a good place to start on the road to a slimmer body and better health.

The Fixed Menu Diet.

Diets that deliver food to your door, pre-packaged and ready to eat [except for heating] are called fixed menu diets.

With a fixed menu diet we will know exactly what we’re going to eat for each meal every day because we purchase it in advance.

This is possibly the easiest diet to adhere to because it takes almost all the diet decision making away from us, the downside to this type of diet plan is that we don’t learn how to make food decisions for ourselves and the food can be quite boring and tasteless.

Another drawback is it isn’t easy to take ready packaged meals with us when we travel but, as a starting point for weight loss beginners a fixed menu diet is a reasonable place to start.

The Exchange Diet.

If we follow an exchange diet we choose our foods from the different food groups, for example we might choose pasta as our starch for this meal, potatoes as our starch for the next and so on.

An advantage to the exchange diet is that we can make our meals different each day, we get to choose what we eat and we learn to make good food choices. 

The Formula Diet.

When we put ourselves on a formula diet we will be drinking most of our meals in the form of shakes of one kind or another with only one meal each day consisting of “real food”.

The shakes or liquid formulas are generally full of proteins and carbohydrates and contain little by way of either good or bad fats.

Formula diets are convenient, easy to follow, often inexpensive and will help us to lose weight in the short term however they can be difficult to continue in the long run.

Whichever type of diet we choose it is quite important to combine it with a reasonable amount of sensible exercise to ensure that our bodies are using the foods we eat in an efficient manner and to build our muscle tone, strength and flexibility.

 Because of the sheer number of different diets and diet types which are promoted and the general confusion over which diets work and which diets don’t it is generally recommended that we each consult with a weight loss professional, that’s a dietitian, nutritionist or medical professional, to determine which of the various diets will be best for each of us, that way we get the best information to suit our individual needs.

Now the purpose of this website, and the blog that attaches to it, is to help those of us, including myself, who have issues with weight, to lose the unwanted kilos, shed the fat and get back to being fit and healthy and to this end I will be examining the various diets that I've tried, looking at the reports from others of the diets that I haven't tried and trying to separate the good diets from those that are bad and even some that are downright dangerous.

These pages about diets, like the rest of this weight loss website, are a work in progress so bookmark the site or save it to your favourites, come back often or better still subscribe to our newsletter and get all the good weight loss news directly into your mailbox.
