Popular Diet Programs That Can Help You Lose 10 Pounds Or More in 4 Weeks

February 19th, 2010 by popular diet

So, how to reduce weight through dieting within four weeks with popular diets? Here are few tips. Reducing weight not only depends on maintaining the diet or doing physical exercises. But also in choosing the right kind of diet or right kind of exercise that suits you best. We can’t say this is the right kind of diet plan or this diet will keep me healthy. Each diet differs from one another and has their own ups and downs.

The most important thing before starting a diet is consult a physician or nutritionist regarding your body condition. They will guide you to pick a diet that will be balancing your health and daily life. Here is a brief description about few popular diets. Just go through it and analyze which one suits you the best.

DASH: The acronym of DASH is Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension. The name itself says what it does. People with pre-hypertension or high blood pressure can prefer this diet. It advises us to avoid food which contain high sugar, like soda. The reduction of saturated fat and cholesterol is also welcomed. In addition, lot of vegetables and fiber can be added to the diet.

Pritkin Diet: this diet was initially started for people with heart ailments. It was then modified by Robert Pritkin so that is can be used by people who wish to reduce weight. This diet encourages taking more water, grain foods, foods which are rich in vitamins, minerals and also fruits plus vegetables. Another important aspect of this diet is, it recommends having 30 minutes of physical exercise a day. This will help to build up your body. Even though there are many advantages with this diet, one drawback is it concentrates less on proteins and calcium.

NutriSystem: this type has a prepackaged set of meals. They will send you a set of meals which will be in a balanced calorie. This reduces your task of analyzing calorie value for each day. If you need a change in food menu you can ask for the change and you will be provided that menu with a prescribed calorie value. Feedback from customers after using NutriSystem diet is, they feel like the food is impalpable and salty.

Eat More, Weigh Less: Dr.Dean Ornish made this diet with vegetarian people in mind. They focus mainly on intake of fiber, carbohydrates rich foods like beans and soy. Intake of more carbohydrates will make you feel full and faster at the same time you will eat less. Since you feel full, you won’t prefer eating snacks. The major drawback over this diet is there are no long term results if you don’t prefer vegetarian. If you prefer vegetarian life style, then the results are consistent and long term. Dieting help you to grow in self confidence and also prevents you from diseases which occur because of overweight.

As said before, dieting alone won’t help you in losing weight unless there is enough physical exercise. And most importantly, you have to follow them regularly. It’s in the hands of the dieter.

What impact has fad dieting had on our nation & society?

April 2nd, 2009 by popular diet

Belle asked:


Americans are becoming fatter by the day it seems. Weight loss surgeries have become very popular. Are fad diets the cause because we do the yo-yo effect with weight loss & gain? Why has obesity become America’s biggest problem? Is it from over-eating? Is it from the hormones in our food to mass produce enough to feed people? A combination? Something else?
