The Best Diet To Lose Weight Loss Is One You Can Understand, Apply and Live With

The purpose of a diet is to cause you to lose weight.  But starving yourself may not be the answer.  Although fasting, or starving yourself, works and might be part of your plan.  But, that’s a subject for another post.

Dieting seems simple enough. All you need to do is substitute what may be poor food choices to some that are healthier. In addition, the diet should be taste good enough and be flexible enough to allow us to maintain a healthier weight in the long term.  How’s that for simplicity?

But, let’s face it, you’re not going through life subsisting on lemon juice or tea and eating things that taste like cardboard just won’t cut it.  The hard part of any diet is sticking with it, learning how to make it part of your life and not giving up.  The word “diet” has a negative sound.  It’s something distasteful and we must avoid a diet if at all possible.

The problem with most diets, especially fad diets, is that they fail to meet the two “gold standards” of dieting, lower in calories and healthier food choices. Because of this, people who use fad diets for weight loss can remain dissatisfied, undernourished and more importantly, still overweight. Luckily enough, there are many solutions available.

The Best Diet Plan

The best diets for weight loss are those that meet or exceed the two standards. When deciding which diet is right for you, remember the best diets for weight loss contain these standards and the food has to taste good. Here are a few things to look for in your next diet plan.

  1. What have you tried that didn’t work?  There’s no sense in trying something that’s already failed.  Avoid fad diets and instead, make changes that include food you know you like and can live with.  Avoid diets that cause you to starve yourself.
  2. Consider what you like to eat.  What are your eating preferences and your weight loss and maintenance goals.  Diets that restrict or forbids certain foods are usually doomed to fail over the long term because it is difficult to avoid food that we like to eat.
  3. What are your short and long term goals?  Are you trying to get into some skinny jeans, a bikini or just look good for a special occasion.  Do you want to make looking good a permanent condition?  A reasonable weight loss rate might only be one or two pounds a week.  This could be a weight loss of four to eight pounds a month.
  4. Make it safe!  Your weight loss diet should not restrict food to an unhealthy level and it should provide enough nutritional value so that you don’t have to resort to supplements to provide nutrition.  You should be able to eat enough to make your metabolism burn off the fat to cause a weight loss.
