You Are Your Best Diet Plan

You read about this diet and that diet until you are so confused that you don't know which to try. You have come to the conclusion that you must lose weight, for both your bodily health and your mental well being. You are tired of buying large size clothes and always feeling self conscious around people that are slim and fit. How do you choose the right diet for you?

Diets are set up to be generic, that is, one size fits all and that is exactly the reason that what works for your best friend might not be the best diet for you. Everyone's body does not react to food or exercise in the same way. This is due in part to heredity, metabolism and lifestyle. That is why it is necessary to educate yourself about weight loss and do some testing to see what is working for you.

One diet might work in part and not in another part, while a part of another diet will work in place of the part of the other diet that doesn't work. You can test and mix and match until you get the right combination for you.

For example, you go on a fast weight loss diet and you lose 10 or 20 pounds quick. Then the diet stalls and you stop losing. This shouldn't surprise you, because you should have realized when you went on the fast weight loss diet that it wasn't designed to be a lifestyle sort of thing. It was set up for fast weight loss and that's what it did. Now, you must change your tactics in order to sustain the weight that you lost.

You now need a diet that will cause you to lose weight more slowly and keep it off. The problem is that by the time you search around and try some lifestyle diets in order to find the best one for you, the weight that you lost on the fast weight loss diet is already starting to be gained back.

This is why it is so important to do your reading and planning before you start dieting. By doing this you can have everything set up so that when the weight is lost from using the quick weight loss method, you can slide right into your next phase without a hitch. 

This is also important -

Realizing beforehand that all diets are not for all people, that they will not accomplish the same results for everyone will make your process of losing and keeping weight off a much easier and pleasant experience.

The bottom line is that you are your own best diet plan - and may need just a healthy plan of action to realize your weight loss goals [byharcher.com/blog/why-low-fat-diets-simply-do-not-work/].
