The Best Diet For Your Body And Personality

By James Steele


Many people have had the experience of trying many different diets, only to find that they either don't work, or only work for a while and then they gain the weight back. This may be due to you not giving the diet enough time, or because the diet you picked wasn't right. You are going to have more success with a diet if it works with your lifestyle and goals, and if it follows some of the basic nutritional principals.

You have to be aware of the things you're eating each day, regardless of what diet you pick. It is definitely easy to lose track of what you've consumed throughout the day and the calories in it all, which includes snacks and drinks, even though it doesn't sound too difficult. This is why you should start a food journal or diary as you will be able to note down every single thing that you consume, whether it be big or small. After doing this for a few weeks you'll probably be shocked at how much you slip in here and there. Really you may not be counting everything, even though you think you're sticking to your diet. You can stick to any diet, or at least see if you're cheating, with a food journal. The DASH Diet got the highest ranking from a recent comparison of diets conducted by U.S. News & World Report Magazine. Doctors regularly recommend that their patients go on the DASH Diet due to it's ability to lower the blood pressure, keep you generally healthy and help you lose weight. The diet focuses on fruits, vegetables and whole grains and it's not high in sodium. It's also greatly emphasized on how important it is to be aware of the essential nutrients your body needs, like potassium, calcium and magnesium in your diet.

Before going on a diet it's often a good idea to visit the doctor. To begin with, your doctor can inform you about how much weight you ought to lose to get the optimum health. He or she can also point to any other issues you should be paying attention to, such as high blood pressure or cholesterol.

Some diets work on these issues at the same time as they help you to lose weight. Also, your doctor can give you pointers on how wise it'd be to start a new diet, or how good or bad a new diet program or book is.

There's no one holy grail of diets that's going to be effective for everybody. You have to be patient and give the diet a chance, for one thing. Very low calorie diets are mostly seen as unhealthy unless needed so the best way to lose weight is by doing it gradually and this will help you keep it off.
