Why Weight

Diets That Work Versus Those That Don't And What That Means To Us

By James H Carter


Diets usually fail for one reason: They aren't easy to follow.

Diets that work cannot be hard to follow; or they won't work.

All too often; on low calorie diets; we don't have enough dining options; especially at fast food retaurants; to choose a meal that will leave us satisfied without "blowing" the diet.

I don't feel that no-carb diets are really very healthy because they encourage us to eliminate most of an important food group. Diets that work must be balanced in order to provide safe, effective weight loss.

When we reduce the amount of food and calories that we consume; our bodies recognize this fact and the result is a reduced metabolism. Consequently; diets that work must keep the metabolism in high gear in order to allow weight loss.

The body can tell; completely apart from the brain when it is hungry. If you're outside on a cold day; your body will start shivering in order to protect itself from the cold. If you cut back on calories; your body will protect itself from starvation by slowing the metabolism in order to conserve calories (energy).

Some diet programs refer to this principal as calorie shifting. The intent is to switch around the type of foods and calories that we eat at different times of the day so that the body never adjusts itself to a slower metabolism. It also requires eating at least four times daily for the same reason.

This means that diets that work must allow us to eat often. But how can you lose weight while eating often?

Simply put; you have to eat the right foods at the right times; in order to keep the metabolism at peak levels; burning calories and burning fat.

There are some diets that work on that principal; and by their nature they are really easy to stick with.
