Finding A Good Diet Plan

April 17, 2012 robot Health

We sometimes want to slim down too fast that we go on a diet of vegetables and fruits, thinking that this will make us lose weight quickly. Most people would go for diets that are in the rage without examining the nutritional values of the food in the plan. Some diet plans can really make you skinny in a matter of days, but then they might be potentially dangerous to your health. All questions aside, the most important question you should ask yourself and your dietician is ‘how many calories should I eat’, the number would depend on your lifestyle and metabolic rate.

Losing weight is a long term process and cannot be done in an instant. Sometimes, fad diets are just gimmicks, making you lose weight and in the process, diminishing your body of energy because the foods that is in the diet plan lacks nutritional value or have many restrictions. Thus, you should be wary about the medical problems that you may face.

When you already feel muscle cramps, dizziness, confusion, fainting, dehydration, severe constipation or diarrhea, mood changes, and constant hunger, the diet plan that you are following might be doing more harm than good to your body. So, before you sign up for a diet program, you have to first get a medical check up from your doctor.

He will check your height, weight, and other physical conditions to come up with the perfect weight loss system for you. The first thing you should be asking is, how much calories should I eat in a day, instead of asking, how much weight do I want to lose in 3 days. The safest number of pounds that you can lose within a week of dieting is 2 to 3 pounds. If you go farther than that, it may be dangerous.

People would always suggest that for us to lose weight, we should only be eating purely fruits and vegetables. The calories in a banana are 105, based on a 2,000 calorie diet. You must remember that your body is also in need of protein, so you should also eat meats and not purely fruits and vegetables. Without protein, you would also feel weak because it is the muscles that help us move and they get us going through the day. The best thing that you should do is to get help from dieticians and nutritionist so they could create the perfect diet plan for you – one that is full of nutritional values, but less on carbohydrates and bad fat. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans can also be made use as a basis.
