I recently completed months of research to compile a list of the top ten diets that work. I put together the list at the request of MANY personal training clients. In performing my research, I not only uncovered key aspects of successful diets, I also found shared characteristics of unsuccessful diets.

1) Starvation Is NEVER Successful

Never means NEVER!
I discovered one diet, for example, that limited individuals to 500 calories a day. The diet was developed by an Italian doctor, and combines the 500 calorie diet with injections of HCG, which is a growth hormone found in young boys. Despite a lack of creditable evidence that the combination “aids” weight loss, the diet has been around for years.

Individuals do, in fact, lose weight rapidly on the diet. However, common sense tells us that ANYONE would lose weight on 500 calories a day!

H-E-L-L-O!

I discovered that individuals tend to feel tired and weak on the diet, and gaining back the lost weight is the general rule. Frequent periods of no weight loss,(plateaus), are common due to a profound metabolic slowdown. Plateaus were far less common in the top ten diets that work.

2) The Diet Has Little Variety

Diets that offer little variety can be boring and unsafe. If a diet focuses on one food group, for example, such as protein, it lacks essential vitamins, minerals and fiber. Each of these has an important role in an individual’s health and well being

The monotony of eating too much of one kind of food can make sticking to the diet long term, very difficult. Also, if an individual manages to lose some weight, the chances are great that the weight will return when they return to their previous eating preferences.

3) The Plan Has No “Exit” Strategy
For a weight loss program to be truly succesful. a maintenance plan must be included. The top ten diets that work, for example, all had a maintenance plan to hep individuals keep the weight off

For some weight loss is achieved faster with hypnosis. Some people say it feels like magic because it is so easy to make powerful changes. Weight loss is not an easy process. If you want to look more beautiful and slimmer, you need more than just perseverance. Weight loss is a given, but other changes have been freeing. Weight loss is simple, burn more calories then you consume. If you can fully understand that then you are on your way to losing weight. Weight loss is extremely difficult when you feel like you are depriving yourself. Instead of being a positive and exciting experience, losing weight becomes a struggle against yourself.

Additionally, women who want to lose weight fast that skip meals actually lower their metabolism. That means their body needs fewer calories and overeating leads to gaining fat faster. Therefore, you shouldn’t try to lose weight by dieting alone.

Are you ready to lose weight? Do you want to learn the secrets to finally shed your excess body fat while keeping your hard earned muscle? The only way you can lose weight and keep it off is to get your natural fat-burning mechanisms functioning normally and at peak efficiency again. The healthy way to weight loss is to lose excess fat, not lose muscle tissue and water. Crash diets can help you lose weight quickly, but most people gain the weight back. Some of these diets are also unhealthy and dangerous.

The majority of people who are trying to lose weight through conventional diets and calorie counting normally dream of food, reflecting on their needs and immediate experiences of food depravation. This creates a food craving that confronts them when they awaken, that regularly leads to them breaking their diet. So forget about all of the fad diets and learn how to lose weight by eating a healthy diet & exercising regularly!

OK, back to learning how to lose weight. The main key to losing weight fast is to create a calorie deficit in the body. We need to look at natural ways to lose weight and find weight loss guides that teach us how to control our weight by making healthy food choices and leading an active lifestyle. The best advice I can give anyone trying to lose weight is to get rid of the tv and take up a sport. A custom-fit diet not only makes sense, it’s also good news for the dieter who couldn’t lose weight on this year’s fad, or who took off pounds quickly and then gained them back (and more).

Since you must burn a phenomenal amount of calories in order to lose pounds, exercise is crucial to long-term weight loss success.

Weight loss simply does not address the long term reasons why we gain weight. Weight loss only erases the evidence of persistent issues to weight control such as aging, processed food, metabolism damage, eating behavior and the fact we all spend long periods of time ‘out of it’ with respect to weight loss and fitness.

Weight Watchers has become a powerful force on the diet scene, bringing millions of people around the world into small group meetings for weekly weigh-ins and diet support and tips. And while today’s Weight Watchers program differs dramatically from years past, the main tenet is still to consume fewer calories than you expend. Weight loss is simple, burn more calories then you consume. If you can fully understand that then you are on your way to losing weight. Weight loss occurs since most of the calories and nutrients are routed into the colon where they are not absorbed.

Weight loss is extremely difficult when you feel like you are depriving yourself. Instead of being a positive and exciting experience, losing weight becomes a struggle against yourself. Weight loss is generally temporary, and unhealthy diet approaches have been linked with health damage and even death.

Losing weight is really hard to achieve by yourself. It takes encouragement, support, and a community of like-minded folks who are determined to make a difference. Weight loss is easy when you integrate hypnosis and coaching. Weight loss is a part of the equation for many women, but much more important is feeling a sense of control over one’s body and one’s health.

Weight loss is far too complex an issue to be dealt with by being preached at. Weight loss is a basic equation based on eating the right foods and doing the right exercises. Weight loss is often treated as a “quick fix” or short-term goal. Yet weight loss is a health and fitness issue, which is a lifestyle issue, one that is quite manageable if handled right.
