A guide to some of the most popular diets today, and their advantages and disadvantages. Essential to decide how to begin to lose weight ...
The word diet is now in the mouths of all. Half the world seems to be trying to lose weight or, some win. Or just change the food.
The truth is that the use of the phrase "I will put on a diet" is a mistake, and we are always in some kind of diet, our food is a type of diet. But in the sense that is commonly used, the diet is employment due to certain foods in a healthy subject or patient.
Well, experience shows that not always the simple fact is enough to get on a diet to lose weight. For one, it is true that should always be accompanied by changes in eating with an exercise program appropriate to allow the burning of energy, to eliminate the reservoirs of fat.
But as important as the proper physical work, is to find the proper system of food there to finish with our problem, the proper food combination for our type of organization, for our particular metabolism.
The poor selection of the diet has resulted in the almost inevitable failure to achieve our goal. And with all the effort and deprivation that usually results in a diet, it is true that we do not like to spend weeks on a diet to follow exactly as before, or, with luck, lose a few kilos.
Up here, a comment about diets in general and why it is important the correct choice for them.
Even with its flaws, remains the chosen path (and easily followed) to lose weight. Therefore, we must ensure is properly selected diets.
Those who have already dealt with more than one will have an idea of what they find most useful and why, and how effective short and long term are those that have tried. For them the choice, therefore, will be easier.
But what about those who do not have enough experience? Well, for them, we have prepared a short overview of the most common types of diet that can be found at present, together with their main advantages and disadvantages.
Juice diet
It is a diet that is based on the premise that for a week should take only natural juices, both vegetable and fruit (those that are our preference).
This diet does not allow the use or sugar or any kind of sweeteners, salt or additives, only pure and natural juices completely, or at best diluted with a little water.
Of course, the natural juices are not absolutely prohibited, so let us forget that they come in envelopes.
Pro: The results are very noticeable and will really be satisfactory, since the calorie consumption is very low, pulling nearly zero. But most of the weight loss is liquid water, which, as it loses too fast, it recovers very quickly.
In addition, we can say that many people think that natural juices have powers "rejuvenating" and that this type of diet allows the body to be cleaned of impurities. It also tends to have very good effect on the state of the skin.
Against: As you might imagine, which is considering this diet is an extreme change in eating practically total fasting. This has severe effects on metabolism, changing the speed of a particularly violent. And get this way with the metabolism tends to be a good idea.
And to make life a little more complicated than ever is wrong, go back to the consumption of solid food after the diet is not simple. The stomach has lost the habit of consumption of solid and needs time to re-adapt to them. We must do so slowly, trying not to overburden or forcing food or poor digestion difficult "softness" to the digestive process.
Conclusion: As I said, playing with the metabolism so extreme is not a good idea, and even less so if we do not have the assistance of a physician or an expert in nutrition and diets.
Fasting is not good under any circumstances and for such long times is a way of looking for trouble if we do not have a clear idea of what we do, scientifically approved (doctor visit).
And, finally demolished this diet, then it will most likely begin to gain weight again, even if we keep a more careful diet or eat less.
Why? Because the body has suffered a crisis in their food and that's the kind of things that he likes to protect. Therefore, after the bad time will try to keep in reserve enough power for any new famine.
And it shall follow the method that it has: increased fat deposits in our body. As simple as that.
