Many folks need to drop weight, and lots of them are always on the look out for diets that work. It’s not really difficult to find diets that work, but finding a diet a person can stick to is the issue. The diet industry is huge. Between books, diet food programs, trainers and nutritionists, spas, and all the other parts of the health and diet industry a lot of money, over 46.8 billion dollars in 2005, is made not from people becoming healthy or losing weight, but rather from people attempting to become healthy or lose weight. Because repeat business brings in the cash, the focus is surely on the roller coaster reality of un-healthy living followed by short stints of diets and health programs.
So you want a diet that works? Here’s one. Combine limiting caloric intake to 1000 calories a day with at least 30 minutes of exercise at least five days a week. That diet will result in losing weight. But there are two problems. #1 cravings will likely ruin the diet. 1000 calories and all that exercise will eventually lead to big hunger and binge eating. First it’s a potato chip or slice of cake, then it’s an extra hot dog and the whole bag of snacks, and then the diet is history. The second issue is what happens after the diet is over? What happens when the weight is gone? What, you’ll return to eating the same way you ate prior to the diet? Guess what, then the weight will come back. Next spring, or next time to wear that dress or tuxedo, or next vacation, or simply the next time you look into a mirror on the way out of the shower it will be once again be diet time.
The best diet is a permanent diet. A lifestyle change to healthier eating habits and more physical activity is the best way to lose weight and keep off the weight. Connie Guttersen created the Sonoma Diet which, as a base, focuses on 10 “power foods.” These are almonds, bell peppers, blueberries, broccoli, grapes, olive oil, spinach, strawberries, tomatoes and whole grains, combined with the diet of the Sonoma country, which includes Asian, Latin American and Mediterranean influences. The diet includes a wide variety of real, and enjoyable foods so it’s easy to remain on it.
Want a diet that works? Move your mind from a short term diet to permanent eating habits that go along with an overall healthy and active lifestyle. That’s the way to not only lose the weight, but to avoid gaining it in the first place.
