The Latest Dieting Trends
It seems like every time you turn on the television they’re talking about the latest diet trend and newest scientific study that proves this or that helps you lose weight the most effectively. Then six months later you’re learning the diet is actually harmful and the newest diet is the way go because it’s the complete opposite. If the first diet tells you carbohydrates are evil and you should eat all protein the next diet will tell you carbs are good and too much protein is bad. It seems like you can never win. But not all diets are bad, in fact there are some really good health and fitness plans out there. Here are the latest dieting trends, whether or not they work for you is debatable because what works for one person may never work for another simply because of body chemistry. So the only way to know for sure if a diet will work is to try it.
The Biggest Loser Diet
Inspired by the hit television show which pits people against one another to lose the most weight in hopes of winning a huge cash prize, this diet focuses on daily meal plans, grocery shopping lists, fitness programs and keeping a journal to track your progress and keep you motivated. While at home you may not be competing to win a cash prize you can set your own goals and thus create a prize for yourself if you reach such and such a goal.
Macrobiotic Diet
This focuses on a simple meal plan system that consists only of organic foods such as whole grown oats, wheat, and fresh vegetables and fruit. According to the macrobiotic diet you are to avoid all processed food and within five days you can lose an average of five pounds as well as lower your cholesterol. The macrobiotic diet also claims to prevent and treat over two hundred illnesses and conditions. This is because of the natural products that promote natural healing and overall health from the inside out.
The Nutrisystem Diet
The Nutrisystem diet is just like that of the Weight Watchers, South Beach and Atkins type diets that focus on a certain percentage of daily intake coming from specified food groups. All these diets all have a line of products they promote and sell which are supposed to conform to these standards and make weight loss more effective and efficient. The problem with a lot of these is that the distribution of calories, fat and such don’t work for all body types. They are also quite expensive and hard to keep up with when out in the real world. The Nutrisystem diet focuses on a reduced calorie diet consisting of 60% carbs, 20% protein and 20% fat.
The Primal Diet
The primal diet is a diet that I actually agree with and do myself. The basis for the diet is that you should eat like a caveman from 10,000 years ago. All of the newer man made foods are contributing to our obesity and health problems.
Focus on lean meats like chicken, fish, pork and steak. Also you should lots of fruits and vegetables. Basically if it doesnt come from an animal or the ground, don't eat it. Also stay away from all foods that are processed.
