Getting The Best Results From Weight Loss

By Ron Cripps

Persons who need to lose weight are constantly searching for diets that work. The trick isn't really finding a diet plan that works, but rather beginning a diet to which an individual can stay with. The multi billion dollar diet and weight loss industry depends not on people staying healthy and staying thin, but rather on people taking an endless ping-pong ride between health and fat. Because the money comes from repeat business, the focus is surely on the roller coaster reality of poor living followed by short stints of diets and health programs.

So you want a diet that delivers? Here's one. Combine limiting caloric intake to 1000 calories each day with at least 30 minutes of exercise at least five times a week. That diet will result in shedding weight. But there are two problems.

The first is that cravings are likely to foil the diet. 1000 calories and all that exercise will eventually lead to massive hunger and binge eating. One piece of cake, or just one bag of chips, or one extra hot dog will soon cause you to dropping off the diet.

#2 the diet eventually finishes. You soon go back to eating the same old way. Next beach season, or next time to wear that dress or tuxedo, or next family trip, or basically the next time you glance at a looking glass on the way out of the gym it will be once again be diet time.

The best fat loss is one making a change to overall diet, permanently. More and more people are coming to realize that to lose weight it's best to change lifestyle, including healthier eating habits and more physical activity. Connie Guttersen created the Sonoma Diet which, as a base, discusses ten power foods.

These are almonds, bell peppers, blueberries, broccoli, grapes, olive oil, spinach, strawberries, tomatoes and whole grains, combined with the diet of the Sonoma country, which includes Asian, Latin American and Mediterranean influences. The diet includes a wide variety of real, and enjoyable foods so it's easy to remain on it .

Want a diet that works? Move your mind from a short term diet to permanent eating habits that go along with an overall healthy and active lifestyle. That's the way to not only lose the weight, but to avoid gaining it in the first place. - 30414
