Free Weight Loss Diets
 |
The race to fitness is on and a lot of people are getting in on the act. Some people do it in order to have a sexy body, some people just do it because they are ashamed of their body, while others do it simply to remain fit and healthy. As such, there are many fitness programs available on the Internet, in gyms, spas and fitness centres all over the world. Some are very – so expensive that you will lose weight just by trying to earn the money needed to pursue these fitness programs.
You may not have to go to the gymnasium, the spa or any fitness centre and spend a fortune just to slim down and get that longed for sexy body. There are so many books in the bookshops offering diet programs which are easy and free. However, the books are not cheap though. These diet plans are gaining increased popularity because of their publicity, testimonials and reviews and you may be confused as to exactly which one to buy. So before you choose which weight loss plan to follow, try checking out the following summaries of the most popular diet programs out today.
The Atkins’ New Diet Revolution by Dr. Atkins: This weight loss program promotes a high protein diet and fewer carbohydrates. You can eat loads of vegetables and meat but must not eat bread and pasta. You are not restricted on your fat intake so it is all right to pour on the (correct) salad dressing and freely spread on the butter. However, during the diet, some people may find themselves lacking fibre and high on fat and cholesterol. Grains and fruits are also strictly limited.
The Carbohydrate Addict’s Diet by Drs. Heller. This diet plan also advocates low carbohydrate food. It approves eating meats, vegetables and fruits, dairy and grain products. however, warns against consuming too many carbohydrates. “Reward” meals can be very high in fats and saturated fats.
Choose to Lose: by Dr. Goor. Restricts fat intake. You are given a “fat” budget and you are given free reign on how to spend it. It does not pressure the individual to watch his carbohydrate consumption. Eating meat and poultry as well as low-fat dairy and seafood is fine. You may also consume vegetables, fruits, cereals, bread and pasta. This weight loss plan is quite healthy, because it recommends correct amounts of fruits and vegetables as well as saturated fats. Watch your triglyceride levels though. If they are high, trim down on the carbohydrates and eat more unsaturated fats.
The DASH Diet. Advocates eating a moderate amount of fat and protein but lots of carbohydrates. It was primarily designed to lower blood pressure. The diet plan follows the pyramid food guide and encourages a high consumption of whole wheat grains as well as fruit and vegetables and low-fat dairy. Some dieters think it advises too much consumption to create significant weight loss.
Eat More, Weigh Less: by Dr. Ornish. Primarily vegetarian fare and strictly low-fat. Warns to watch out for non-fat dairy and egg whites. This diet plan is poor in calcium and restricts the consumption of healthy foods like seafood and lean poultry.
Eat Right for Your Type: This plan is quite unusual because it centres its advice on your blood group. For example, it recommends plenty of meat for people with the blood type O. However, diet programs for some blood types are nutritionally unbalanced and too low in calories. Furthermore, just for the record, there is no proof that blood type can affect dietary needs.
The Pritkin Principle: It focuses on cutting back on the number of calories by eating ‘wet’ foods that make you feel full. It recommends eating vegetables, fruits, oatmeal, pasta, soups, salads and low-fat dairy, which it says is fine, although it also limits protein sources to lean meat, seafood and poultry. It is healthy since it allows low amounts of saturated fats and rather large amounts of vegetables and fruits. However, it is low on calcium and restricts lean protein sources.
Volumetrics: It provides for consuming fewer calories. It recommends about the same foodstuffs as Pritkin but restricts fatty food and grain foodstuffs like popcorn, pretzels and crackers. This diet is reasonably healthy given the high volume of fruit and vegetables. It also recommends eating fewer calories and saturated fats.
The Zone: It is fairly low on carbohydrates but moderately high on proteins. It recommends low-fat protein foods like fish and chicken and vegetables, fruits and grains. It is also a healthy diet but lacking in grains and calcium.
Weight Watchers: They advise high carbohydrate meals, yet are moderate on fats and proteins. A fairly healthy diet program and very flexible too. It allows the dieter to devise his own meals rather than offering recipes, although there are Weight Watchers’ TV dinners in the shops.
