South Beach Diet Weight Loss
Can South Beach Diet weight loss last? So many diets tout that weight loss is possible with their particular diet. Sure, many diets offer weight loss, and if a person should follow the diet without cheating then weight loss will occur.
However, isn’t that really part of the question? The efficacy of a diet not only relies on whether or not it actually works for weight loss but whether it has any “stickability.” Can the person stay on the diet? How long can the person stay on the diet? Has the diet taken into account the dieters likes and dislikes? How practical is the diet?
In addition to that, a diet must allow for lasting weight loss. So, with the South Beach Diet, weight loss needs to be actually doable as well as long term. Let’s see how it rates.
Designed as a means to lower cholesterol and help diabetics, the South Beach Diet starts off with a two week sort of cleansing period. During this time, no fruit, bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, sugar, alcohol or baked goods are allowed. Afterwards, healthier carbohydrates such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables are slowly reintroduced. Read More
The Atkins Diet
The Atkins diet isn’t the first low carb diet. As a matter of fact, a low carb diet can be traced back to 1825 when Jean Brillat-Savarin wrote the book The Philosophy of Taste and prescribed a low carb diet. The popularity of the Atkins diet plan ebbs and flows with every new Atkins recipes book that is published. As well, numerous knock-offs of the plan exist with slightly different rules such as The Zone or Suzanne Somer’s diet.
The Plan
The Atkins Diet plan has four phases:
Induction phase – For the first two weeks a very strict diet will kick off the plan. There’s a list of acceptable foods that consists of protein, fats and vegetables. Foods can be eaten liberally from this list so long as the “rules” are followed.
During this phase, weight loss will be at its peak due to the extremely low calories consumed.
Ongoing weight loss – During this phase, certain carbohydrates are allowed. Five more grams of carbohydrate can be consumed than the stricter 20 allowed in phase 1. After a week, if weight loss has continued, you may increase it another 5 grams.
The carbohydrate choices remain the same, you’re just allowed a few more. Weight loss will continue, but at a slightly slower rate.
Pre-maintenance – This phase is a preliminary step to learning how to eat healthfully for life. Weight loss is slowed and this phase gears the dieter towards maintaining a healthful weight for life.
Life-time maintenance – In the last phase, the dieter will be eating normally with the idea that normal now means a much more healthful diet. Read More
Anyone Struggling to Lose the Last Few Pounds?
I’m still struggling to loose the last 15 pounds I want to get rid of. I can’t believe it’s so hard for me to lose 15 pounds. I have been trying so hard for about 1 year now. I’m doing exercise regularly 4-5 days a week and am watching what I eat. But it seems I can’t lose that stubborn 15 pounds. Help!!! What’s wrong with me? I’m not sure why.
My weight has been stable for about 3 years. I want to achieve my desired goal of weighing 100lbs but it seems so hard. The reason why I want to loose 15 pounds is because I’m not that tall. I’m only 4″11 and I think 100lbs is the best weight for my small frame. What do ya’ll think? Read More
Weight Watchers Diet
Millions of people use the Weight Watchers®. diet every year in an attempt to lose weight. It’s one of the most popular weight loss programs and one of the most respected. There are definitely advantages and disadvantages to the Weight Watchers diet points system. Read on and see if it’s for you.
The Weight Watchers®. diet is based on the idea that ” healthful weight loss occurs when we consume less food than we burn “. Many of us know this, but find it difficult to apply it to our own lives. Counting calories and weighing food to make sure we accomplish this mission just isn’t all that easy. It’s time-consuming and if there’s one thing most of us are short on, that would be time.
Not only that, but putting all that thought into what we’re eating kind of sucks the fun out of food. We begin to obsess on every bit we put in our mouths; how many calories was that? Oh, I forgot about the mayo! Etc. Read More
Jenny Craig Weight Loss
So, who’s the celebrity du jour for Jenny Craig right now? Valerie, right? Or is it Queen Latifah? Well, we all know it’s not Kirstie anymore, or at least there aren’t too many commercials with Kirstie. Personally, I think Kirstie Alley is a beautiful women heavy or thin as are Val and Queen Latifah. But, when you’re advertising for a weight loss program such as Jenny Craig, weight loss is sort of important.
No matter what the flattering outfit, it became quite apparent that Kirstie didn’t quite meet the goals of the program, though she did lose weight. So, Valerie stepped in and now has a book out on the shelves about her success with the Jenny Craig diet. So, why did Kirstie “fail” and why did Valerie lose all the weight she wanted?
It could very well be that Kirstie cheated, but when evaluating the success or failure of a diet, one has to look beyond the dieter and look at the diet itself. What works for some just isn’t right for others. It’s a very subjective thing. Read More
The Zone Diet
About the Zone Diet
The Zone Diet (www.zonediet.com)
was developed by Dr. Barry Sears. The diet itself is set up to give moderate amounts of the three major nutrients: protein, fat and carbohydrate. By doing this, Dr. Sears believes that the zone diet will balance and stabilize the three major hormones or hormone types: insulin, glucagons and eicosanoids. In addition, Dr. Sears believes that zone diet food is capable of controlling gene expression by turning on or off particular genes.
- The Plan
The basic concept is that based on your daily protein needs, to stay in the diet zone you will eat a balance of protein, fat and carbohydrate throughout the day using three meals and a few snacks. These are measured in blocks. A block of protein is roughly 1 ounce of meat. As a rule of thumb, women will have three blocks, or three ounces of lean meat and men will have four ounce of lean meat per meal. You then use equal blocks of fat and carbohydrate. Read More
Pack That Fat! Why Weight Loss Is Important
In Helen Fieldings’ cult novel Bridget Jones’s Diary, frustrated singleton Bridget Jones seems to wage an endless battle against the bulge, and if you will permit me to quote a longish paragraph, sums up very nicely what it is that most of us hate about being fat. Here it is: “I hate communal changing rooms. Everyone stares sneakily at each other’s bodies, but no one ever meets anyone’s eye. There are always girls who know that they look fantastic in everything and dance around beaming, swinging their hair and doing model poses in the mirror saying, ‘Does it make me look fat?’ to their obligatory obese friend, who looks like a water buffalo in everything.” Read More
