Diets That Deliver

By: Jan Snell

People who need to lose weight are constantly searching for diets that work. It's not really difficult to find diets that work, but finding a diet a person can stick to is the issue. The 46.8 billion dollar diet industry (as of 2005) depends not on people staying healthy and staying thin, but rather on people taking an endless yo-yo ride between health and fat. Because repeat business brings in the cash, the focus is surely on methods and products that work for a short period but result in return business.So you want a diet that works? Here's one. Combine limiting caloric intake to 1000 calories each day with at least 30 minutes of exercise at least five days a week. It's a sure bet you'll shed pounds. Only two small things. The first is that cravings will foil the diet. 1000 calories and all that exercise will eventually lead to ruinous hunger and binge eating. First it's a potato chip or piece of cake, then it's an extra hot dog and the whole bag of chips, and then the diet is kaput. The second issue is what happens after the diet ends? What happens when the weight is gone? What, you'll go right back to eating the same way you ate prior to the diet? Guess what, then the weight will return. Next spring, or next fancy dress ball, or next vacation, or simply the next time you glance at a looking glass on the way out of the bathroom it will be time to return to a diet to lose the unwanted pounds. The best diet is one making a change to overall diet, forever. A lifestyle change to healthier eating habits and more exercise is the best way to lose weight and keep off the unwanted pounds. 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 is full of real food, and real portions, combined into enjoyable dishes to help encourage someone to stay with it .Want a diet that works? Shift the focus away 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.
