Diet Plans for Women - Where to Start?

Diet Plans for Women

Controversial as it may sound, but there is really little difference between dieting for men and dieting for women. Perhaps an element of scale, whereby a marginally overweight man usually doesn't even notice, or if it is pointed out to him, just wears looser clothing and grows a stubble. Of course the stubble option to look cooler and thinner isn't really on for a woman, and the 'marginally' overweight issue is one of grave concern and anxiety.

Ordinarily the stress of a few unwanted pounds would lead to a stimulated feedback whereby unconscious fasting and food avoidance leads to weight loss. Equally, such stress could and does lead to increased chocolate consumption which feeds back in the wrong direction. This also brings into force a little-known effect which means that every calorie consumed whilst known that it is being consumed actually counts for two calories. One which is metabolised and one which becomes fat faster than a politician can use a black marker pen on his expenses claim. A diet plan is the solution. Daily, weekly, whatever, as long as it is a plan and you stick to it.

The trouble with diet plans in the past is that this eat-one-get-one-free calorie rule still counts; the only way to be truly free from this freakish truism of nature is to ignore completely your total calorific intake. This then reduces weight loss to a popular physical sciences question of whether the fat is actually there or not. In other words, you may appear thinner, but the scales will still indicate that you are overweight. Not looking at the scales, and simply thinking yourself thinner, whilst eating goodly amounts of foods you like is much more likely to work.

Exercising helps, but if that is out of the question, there is nothing wrong with the odd weight-loss pill. That said, if you can get placebos and believe they will work, then that is better than actually taking real drugs. Starting to smoke may also work, as that will kill you at some point, although that is an extreme way of trying to lose weight. So don't do that, and if you smoke already, stop now.

More practically, the single best place to start losing weight is with being honest with yourself. How? Simple...when you are on your own for any length of time, change out of your loose clothing and wear something that used to fit OK. You might end up with stomach ache, and if so, undo the belt and/or button or whatever. This exercise will demonstrate that however thin you think you are or want to be, you probably aren't. If this sounds a bit psychic, it's not because if you wear the clothes for the thinner you and feel OK, you wouldn't be doing it in private would you?

The next thing to consider, before going on a diet plan, is what 'goodies' you eat that you don't need to. Well, that's just about everything outside of a normal meal. Every chocolate bar, every packet of crisps (or chips), every bun or sugary drink. All of it. Literally, all of it all the time. You can have some back when you're thinner, but if you want to start losing weight, lose the junk food.

That might sound hard, but it isn't anywhere near as hard a actually dieting. And magically, the inverse eat-one-get-one-free calorie rule comes into play. For every one of those chocolate calories you didn't eat, a whole other calorie disappears for free. This means, that you lose more than one chocolate bar in fat for every chocolate bar you don't eat.

See, weight loss is easy. There's one down side though, and without wishing to return to the smoking analogy, it does have relevance. Being overweight has a certain gravity to it. And gravity draws heavy objects together, and then they sort of feed around one another and seeing as everyone's fat and everyone's feeding, everyone feels in their comfort zone. As soon as you stop eating with the in-crowd, you won't be in the in crowd and that will be uncomfortable. Like non-smokers really very rarely have a close group of smoker friends; if you lose weight, you will increasingly seek out thinner friends and this is an issue.

It is also an issue when you're in a transition state, and your marginally (OK let's go for it: massively) fat friends are passing out the buns or the eclairs or the brandy twirls, and you say 'no.' To be clear, you will have to feign illness for some time. Those of us who've had kids will remember this effect well when you're out with your mates, pregnant but not admitting it. You know who you are.

This is the same thing, only it's fat not alcohol you need to avoid.

Now, although you will lose weight doing any or all of the above (unless you are pregnant); you will wish to seek out a suitable diet plan, of which there are many, some better than others.
