All the people actually know, in order to lose weight, we have to manage your diet and exercise. But who is not tempted to see friends in a few months looks much thinner, whether due to undergo acupuncture, slimming drink, do not eat rice, and so forth. If the A can, why can not I? So you might think.
Dawn Jackson-Blatner, RD, spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association (ADA), does not agree with this thinking. "Do not be fooled into thinking that weight loss was due to diet, pills, or certain ingredients. What causes the weight loss is consuming fewer calories than you burn," he said. "Unbalanced diet causes weight down because it basically is a low-calorie diet."
After several weeks on a diet that is not realistic, you usually become frustrated and give up. Feelings of failure is what makes them right back through an unhealthy lifestyle. "Diets like this not only failed to lose weight for a long time, but also keeps you motivated, and finally the weight back up," explains Michelle May, MD, author of Am I Hungry? What to Do When Diets Do not Work. "In other words, you become worse than before you started dieting."
Here is the type of diet that will not last long, according to experts from WebMD:
1. Diets that focus on certain foods (like cabbage soup, grapefruit, vegetarian, raw foods, and low-carb diet). Be careful with the diet that regulate food groups like this. We should eat a variety of foods to get all the benefits of vitamins and minerals needed, says Andrea Giancoli, MPH, RD, ADA spokesperson.
David Katz, MD, a lecturer at Yale University and author of The Flavor Point Diet, said that restricting certain foods initially was successful, but will fail in the long term. You could lose weight by eating only one type of food, for example pecel, but how long you can eat pecel hell? You surely will soon be bored by eating food that's all, and start wanting your usual favorite foods. Finally, you return to your old eating patterns.
All you need to make a handle, any type of food to nourish you during consumed taste (which includes meat, ice cream, even chips). Remember, a balanced nutritional composition is 60-70% carbohydrate, 10-15% protein, and fat 20-25%.
2. Detox diet, which aims to clean the intestines, liver, remove toxins, and so forth. "All things related to the drainage of cleaning and this is nonsense, because there is no scientific basis," says Pamela Peeke, MD, chief medical correspondent for Discovery Health Channel. "Our bodies are equipped with organs like the liver and kidneys, and immune system, to cleanse itself of toxins that exist, without the help of 'cleaning' the other."
3. Diet with nutritious foods or other supplements (such as fructose water, bitter orange, green tea, apple vinegar). People who want to go on a diet is always looking for food, pills, or other formulas that will help them lose weight. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as potions "miraculous". "There are no special foods or food groups to eat together or at certain times can affect weight loss," said Michelle May.
Beware the tricks diet recommends you take supplements, enzymes, or a specific formula. "You do not need expensive supplements anyway," says Blatner. "If you want to take a multivitamin once a day to ensure the nutritional hell, is fine. But you should get nutrients from food alone."
4. Fasting or low-calorie diet. Fasting in order to lose weight is counterproductive, according Giancoli. "When you eat fewer calories, your body thinks you're starving, and adjust its metabolism. But when you return to eating normally, your metabolism does not adjust again, and therefore you need fewer calories than before," he explained.
What's worse, weight loss during fasting is usually a combination of fat, fluid, and muscle, but weight you gain back most likely entirely fat. That's why when fasting, you feel weak or lack of energy when it comes to physical activity.
Blatner added, a diet that promises weight loss of between 2.2 to 6.8 kg in a short time really is unrealistic. Depending on how much you want to lose, initially you may lose fluids. But from time to time the average weight decreased about 0.45 kg per week.
Simple diet
In implementing the diet program, you should find a pattern to suit your lifestyle. Diet is best when done with a safe, simple, and in the long term. "Forget about dieting, and just think about strategies to satisfy hunger by eating fewer calories," said Katz. "Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein, can also help overcome the appetite."
Blatner suggests to follow the three step approach that he uses for his clients:
1. Make an inventory of what you do now, and find out when you most often feel hungry. Most people are most anxious ahead at 15.00, that's when they feel like snacking. Katz suggested that we recognize what makes the weight go up, and had overcome the problem. For example, if you tend to overeat when stressed, first resolve what is causing you stress.
