The Keys To A Good Diet
A lot of people have been emailing us lately asking us how we grade our diet reviews, and what criteria we use to do it. There are hundreds of criteria that we use, but many of our highest rated diets all share some very common criteria and have many features in common. Let's take a look at four of our most common criteria to see how some of these diets stack up.
Allows you to eat things you normally would. Now I don't mean you can run down to the fast food joint and order 15 cheeseburgers, but a good diet will let you mix in a slice of pizza or piece of chocolate cake if you make adjustments to the rest of your meal, do extra exercise or both. We all live normal lives and in this country almost everything involves food. You cant set yourself up to fail by going on an ultra strict diet because at some point you will become frustrated and quit.
Follows a balanced mix of meals. Have you ever seen the ads for the all grapefruit diet or the all eggs diet? Do you think you can eat grapefruit or eggs every day for every meal the rest of your life? Me either. Some fad diets will help you lose weight very quickly, but diets that focus on only one, or just a few food groups won't give you proper nutrition and at some point you have to start eating normal foods again. More often than not the results from these fad diets disappear when you get back to normal.
Will make you work out more often. It's no secret, if you want to lose weight you need to exercise more often than you did before, no matter what you eat. Sure, eating right is a very important part of weight loss and dieting, but its equally important to get regular exercise every day or at least a few times a week. By exercising more often your muscles burn calories, and continue to burn them even when you aren't exercising. Any diet that doesn't encourage exercise is not doing you any favors. Your body needs exercise to prevent heart disease, to burn calories and to prevent the effects of aging as we all get older.
Is sustainable after the "diet" is done. So you did great, and you lost a ton of weight and never looked better in your swim suit. Now that you are "off" the diet, will you be able to keep it up for the rest of your life? This is our number one complaint about the Atkins diet. Yeah Atkins works great, but can you go without eating chocolate ice cream the rest of your life? I know I couldn't! Focus on diets that practice moderation and a variety of meal plans, to allow yourself flexibility and more important sustainability. The truly good diets will teach you proper eating habits that you can carry with you for the rest of your life. - 17268
