Often times the right information can change a person's life. Read this carefully and I hope it will help you.
It seems like everyone, is trying odd fads or ingesting crazy concoctions to lose weight or enhance their health. They want a get slim fast fix, or an easy elixer of youth, or something else equally ridiculous instead of to take the time actually necessary to improve health.
Now, the current fad is called the 3 day diet, and it claims that, by consuming what it tells you to, you can lose ten pounds in three days. Come on, what are we foolish. It tells you to eat saltine crackers, toast, eggs, tuna, coffee, tea, apples, cheese. All regular stuff, not anything magical or high tech in any of it, and in 3 days, you're supposed to lose all of that weight. I have trouble believing it.
If it is accurate, it is probably because of the small amount you eat on the 3 day diet, and it likely is mostly water weight. Water weight means that what you lose is mainly water flushing out of your system, and very little body mass is actually reduced. Losing water weight is actually pretty worthless since it just means getting dehydrated. This can be risky, and is certainly unhealthy.
One of the best way to lose weight is the old, traditional way, in my oppinion, although it takes a little longer. You exercise constantly, eat lots of green leafy vegetables, and also fruits in moderation, cut out processed and fat foods, and don't snack between meals. Also, very high carbohydrate food is not really good for your diet either as it will fill you up with calories. This is not a 3 day diet, or even a 30 day diet, but nonetheless, within a couple of months, you will be slimmer and healthier, and happier too.
There are diets that are complete dangerous. The atkins diet, for instance, works by throwing your liver into ketosis by eating nothing but lots of protien. This can cause liver harm, and in some cases, death. Nonetheless, it does make you lose weight at a high rate of speed, but once you get off it, you will probably get the weight right back.
If you are going to get on a 3 day diet program, one thing to contemplate is what kind of exercise to do to supplement your dieting. Jogging is very good, but can be hard on your knees. Bike riding is a little safer on your joints in the long run. One of the superb exercises, however, is swimming, because it is zero impact and exercises the whole body. Personally, I like to swim for at least half an hour every day. No thing makes me feel healthier or more refreshed.
The next time you go for a diet be carefull dont trust anyone, look for professional advice and ask your doctor for recomendations. A bad diet can make you more danger that good. |
