A Diet Program Solution for Sustained Weight Loss
Many people are keen to know whether it is possible to loss weight through dieting alone.
The simple answer is a resounding yes but probably at a slower rate than when dieting is combined with an exercise routine.
For some people starting an exercise routine is just a step too far - no pun intended.
They have absolutely no interest in any form of exercise and have no intention of implementing it into any weight loss plans they would consider undertaking.
Now whilst this is not ideal for weight loss and is certainly not conducive to a healthy lifestyle it has to be recognised that such people exist and also that some would benefit from shedding excess weight.
In these cases one solution might be to reduce the portions of the meals they currently eat very slightly to get a very slow but sustainable weight loss.
However it is often the case in these circumstances that people try to slash there food intake and then any weight loss tends to taper off very quickly as the body adapts and slows down its metabolism to compensate.
My suggestion is that the best solution will be one where the diet is changed considerably.
One approach would be to eat meals with an improved balance of carbohydrate, protein and fat.
Various diets will have slightly different ratios but will be in the ball park: - 50% of Protein - 30% of Carbohydrate - 20% of Fat The second approach would be to try one of the latest more scientific diets that encourage eating certain food types in certain combinations.
These combinations allow for want of a better term more 'efficient' digestion.
Again the rules can vary a little between different diets but will be along the lines: 1) Do not mix fats such as butter or bacon fat with starchy carbohydrate such as potatoes, pasta or rice 2) Do not mix acids such as juice or vinegar with the starchy carbohydrates - potatoes, pasta or rice 3) Do not mix proteins such as fish and meat with again potatoes, pasta or rice.
It is easy to research the details, and if you are interested the science, of such an approach on numerous web sights.
Therefore in conclusion an ideal diet program solution is likely to be one where the diet is changed rather than just cutting back on the amount that is eaten.
