On average, 95-98% of all users of what can be termed "fad diets" fail within two years. Within six months after stopping the program, they not only put back all the weight they lost, but also gain a few extra pounds!
If you really want to lose weight and keep it off (assuming you do not have any deep seeded problems and emotionally you are ready to lose weight) I have a comprehensive simple program for you.
On this program you lose the weight gradually and keep it off permanently. The three ground rules are:
-Never consume less than one thousand calories per day. Anytime you consume less than !000 calories per day your body's physiological response is to lower your metabolism and you burn less fat. Hunger and cravings become overwhelming, and temptation for junk food increases.
-Never miss a meal eat frequently, with healthy and small portions. Ideally you want to eat at least three meals and 2-3 snacks. The normal snacking is mid morning and mid afternoon. I personally can go without a mid-morning snack because I prefer to eat an early lunch but I need to have a bedtime snack. The danger of missing meals and going hungry not only affects your health it will affect your attention, productivity and your mod.
-No frozen, processed food or drink, eat regular meals. This way you get less sugar and regular meals bring satiety. Choose healthy snacks; fresh fruits are good choices, most snack bars are loaded with sugar. One example of a snack bar that I don't recommend is trail mix. It is a mixture of fruits and nuts that contains 140 calories, 4 grams of fat, no cholesterol, 25 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of protein, 2 grams of fiber and 13 grams of sugar. A food bar could be an idea choice for your snack before exercise, however if it is not loaded with sugar and contains less than 30% fat
