What is the Best Diet Plan That Will Work For You?

Diet Rules

First, you've got to set some rules. Why? Well if your only rule is to lose weight as fast as possible I can give you a "diet" right now that's guaranteed to work. Here it is: Don't eat anything and exercise a lot (I don't' recommend this!). You see, any diet that puts you in a calorie deficit will work... at least for the short term. Calorie deficit simply means that you burn more calories than you metabolize (take in, digest and put to use in your body). With that said, here are a set of five simple rules that, if you follow will give you the best chance for success and the results you're looking for:

It must be healthy
It will work over the long term
It will deliver quick results that are safe
It's got to be simple
It's got to be something you can actually stick to

A Healthy Diet Our bodies need a regular intake of healthy carbohydrates, fats and proteins for optimal health along with vitamins, minerals antioxidants etc. Our "best diet" must give us all these important macro and micro nutrients on a continual basis or it doesn't pass muster.

Work Over The Long Term

What good is a diet if a diet doesn't work over the long term? And yes, there are diets that work short term and lose there effectiveness the longer you stay on them. These are diets that have you consume low calories over an extended period of time. This forces your body into "starvation" mode, lowering your metabolism making it harder and harder to lose fat.

Quick, Safe Results

With a healthy diet I believe you can safely lose up to a pound a day if you are generally healthy and fit (except for being over weight).You will have to include exercise but it definitely can be done.

Simple Very few people have the patience to count calories or want to spend a ton of time planning and preparing meals. It's got to be drop dead simple for most people to actually have success. Before starting on a new diet plan ask yourself if this plan is simple enough to work with your lifestyle. If not, are you willing to modify your lifestyle to make it work? These questions are critical to to your success.

A Diet You Will Actually Stick To

It doesn't matter how great a diet is, if you don't stick to it what good is it? Really, think about whether you have the motivation to follow through with the diet. Does it completely deprive you of your favorite foods? Can you still live your life on this diet? As you search the internet for your best diet plan, make sure they fit these rules and you'll have the best chance for success.The internet provides you with a sea of qualified sources plus most information can be instantly downloaded.

One Last Tip

I believe one of the most important aspects of deciding on the best diet plan for you is whether the source is credible. Someone that is an example of what they preach. Not only can they provide a lot of motivation but they understand better than anyone what it takes to follow through -- which is a lot more valuable than someone who only has "book smarts". Use these rules and you'll find the best diet plan for you...one where you will get the easiest, fastest and lasting results.
