If you are reading this article chances are you are feeling the anguish that comes with diets, not for the diet itself, but in finding the right diet for you. 9 times out of 10 the most stressful part of any diet is actually choosing which one to do.
There are so many different diets out there that it can be an absolute minefield! Fear not, I would like to share with you 3 of the best diets for losing weight which will make your choice a whole lot simpler.
Below we have compiled a list of 3 of the best diets for losing weight, these diets have all been proven to work and are all healthy options.
But I would like to start with a tip, in fact it is the biggest weight losing tip I know, it is simply this…
“Stick at it!”
That’s it; there is no mystery, no magic, no incredibly complex algorithm, no skill or mastery! Once you have chosen a diet method that suits you, and more importantly you feel you can achieve with, then it is simply a case of sticking with it.
So let us look at 3 of the best diets for losing weight! (These are in no particular order as all are very achievable methods to losing weight).
Diet Number 1
The 3 Apple diet:
You probably never heard of this one but let me tell you, it is very effective. Why is it so effective? Mainly because of the water content within the apple and of course the 5 grams of fibre it also contains. Any foods you eat which have a high water and fibre content are very good and very effective for weight loss.
So How Does It Work?
Really there are only 2 rules that you must adhere to:
Rule 1: Before you eat any of your three main meals a day you must eat 1 apple!
Yes you can still have three meals a day and still have all your favourite foods, just as long as you stick to eating that 1 apple, no more just 1! Obviously the more healthy your choice of foods for your meals, the speedier your weight loss will see results.
Rule 2: Stick to Rule 1!
Remember the saying “Three Apples a day keeps the weight away” and you simply cannot go wrong. This doesn’t mean that you can go out and eat as many snacks as you wish, better results come with better and healthier snack choices. Combine this with your 3 apples a day diet and you are well on your way.
Diet Number 2
The Cabbage soup diet:
This is one of the best diets for losing weight and has been around for many years. There are many differing versions but the most effective and simplest is this…
Whenever you are hungry eat a bowl of cabbage soup! This not only fills you up but allows you to stay on a low calorized diet. One important thing to remember whilst you are on a cabbage soup diet is not to indulge in fatty or oily foodstuffs as these will destroy you calorie intake, try to stick to roughage, leafy vegetables and fruits.
Remember: this is a low calorie diet and should remain so.
Diet Number 3
The Detox Diet:
This method of diet although relatively new, is becoming more popular due to the speed in which weight loss occurs.
Results such as a 5-7 pound loss over a two week period are quite common which is quite incredible.
But like many ‘Fad’ diets, as soon as you return to your normal eating habits the weight returns as quickly as was lost.
How does it work?
A Detox diet is simply a liquid diet, very similar in fact to the also popular ‘Lemonade diet’. It is literally severely restricting your calorie intake.
To enable your body to detoxify and rid yourself of all the harmful toxins within your body, you will need to eat nutrient rich foods and antioxidants.
Vitamins can also play an important role in this type of diet, in particular Vitamin C which has been proven to help weight reduction.
They also need to be low in fat and high in fibre. You will also find that because you are eating these healthy foods you won’t put weight back on because you are not starving yourself.
When you starve your body of these essential nutrients this is when toxins build up. So fasting is not a good thing to do.
There are also added benefits to this type of diet in that it will help clear up your skin and reduce fat and cellulite.
It also allows you to have a better night’s sleep and have more energy when you are awake.
It significantly reduces your blood pressure and cholesterol levels and gives your immune system a boost.
