everal diets ask you to fast for several days or eat too few calories. There's even one diet which involves taking in a lemon juice concoction only, and foregoing food for up to two weeks. Needless to say, weight loss is certain
with these incredibly low calorie diets but the thing is, diet plans don’t need to be so drastic for them to work. Indeed, rapid weight loss can be motivating, but it is not sustainable and unhealthy. The monotony and limiting nature of particular dietary fads make them difficult to follow, and your brain and body will surely rebel and once you stop following the program, you will gain back the weight you shed and some more. Here are two better diet strategies to consider. Flexitarian diet - Vegetarians usually weigh 15 percent less than non-vegetarians. They also have lower cholesterol, lower cancer risk, and live around 4 years longer than average folks. If you have ever thought about going vegetarian but just couldn’t see yourself giving up on some meat dishes, a flexitarian diet may be the right diet plan for you. You can decrease your meat intake little by little. People who are just starting out usually ease into the program by lowering meat consumption to only 5 days per week, then cutting back to just two days down the road. This diet plan involves calorie counting though, which some people find troublesome. It has been proven, however, that counting calories can help you shed weight more effectively.

Paleolithic or Paleo diet - First popularized in the 70s, this diet concept is based on consuming plants and meats similar to what cavemen were presumed to have eaten several millennia ago. This include foods that can be hunted, fished, and gathered, like meat, fish, shellfish, eggs, tree nuts, vegetables, roots, fruits and Page 2
berries. This diet entails foregoing dairy, grains, sugar, processed oils, and any foods that were grown after agriculture started. Obviously, a true Paleolithic diet is hard to copy because wild game is not easily obtainable and plantbased food are mainly cultivated rather than gathered from the wild. Many people who follow this diet eat organic plant food, wild-caught fish, and grass-fed meats. This is a very wholesome diet plan and numerous studies have shown that it can decrease your risk for heart disease, facilitate reduction in weight, and improve overall health and athletic performance.
