Friday's Nutrition Tip 02/04/2010

Fad diets “v” Healthy Eating

I can pretty much guarantee that anybody who has wanted to lose weight has tried a Faddy diet at some point, they’ve lost the weight, been really happy, then once the diet has ended put the weight back on, and perhaps a little more!! There’s allot of diets on the market, and if your not sure about how the body works or which one is correct for you they could be doing you more harm than good in the long run. The problem is that most of these diets starve the body of something or another for a shorter or greater period of time, they have too in order to get you to lose the weight fast so you think it’s a miracle cure, then when the weight goes back on you go back to what you’ve seen work, thus continuing their revenue cycle.The word itself “diet” in modern society prepares you mentally to starve yourself in some form or another, then we enter the feast and fast routine, the thing is we all have a diet! From the obese to the athlete, the only difference is, how healthy?From the first meal of the day, that should be breakfast, to the last snack at night all you need to do is eat at the right times, eat healthily and in the right proportion, if the balance is correct then the body will find stasis and the excess weight that is surplus to requirements will shed, slower maybe for some, but combine that with a little extra activity and your on a winning streak, and once it’s the norm, it’s for life!

Now over the Weeks, Months & Years I will elaborate on healthy eating a whole lot more, but the biggest tip I can give anybody is this, if it's in a packet or contains more than one ingredient, its more than likely been tampered with and maybe not so good after all!
