Fast Weight Loss Diet

You might have heard of many diet plans. Nowadays it is very convenient for people to get diet plans. You can buy books, search on internet, friends can you about them and even your physician can tell you one or you can ask nutrition specialist to design one for your in accordance to your diet pattern, routine and physical requirements. These diets can be incorporated with exercises or weight reducing surgeries. I’m not telling you a detailed account of diet plans. I’m just giving you a vague idea that how these diets do work.

1. Paleolithic Diet:

This diet is planned on the basic idea to follow what early men ate. It is a known fact that the health of early men was far better than a modern man. They used to eat raw and fresh meals. Following the same rule, this diet suggests eating meat, chicken, fish, eggs, fruits, berries, vegetables except potatoes and sweet potatoes, nuts except peanuts and cashews.

All you have to avoid is grains including bread, pastas and noodles, beans including string beans, kidney beans, lentils, snow peas and peas, potatoes, dairy products, sugar and salt.

2. Protein Diet:

Commonly known as Dr. Atkins’s diet. It is based on the idea of increasing the muscle mass, with reference to the fact that when there is more muscle mass in a body, the nutrients are supplied to the muscles to keep them working, instead of storing in form of fat. This diet suggests taking only proteins. You can eat chicken, beef, mutton, fish, pork, egg whites, skimmed milk and no carbohydrates and fats in any form.

You have to avoid all dairy products except skimmed milk, oils, butters, processed or unprocessed grains including bread, pastas and noodles, fruits and vegetables as they have carbohydrates, sugar and anything with sugar.

3. General Motors Diet:

The staff of the General motors planned this specific diet for their workers, who gained weight while sitting and eating in their long working hours. This diet is planned with the idea of having balance in diet. They promote eating on a weekly basis with days divided, and having a specific thing to eat on that day. This is the only diet which let you eat fruits, vegetables, beef, and their special soup. This soup really does works. Many of my friends lost lbs with this simple and balanced diet.

But still you have to avoid many things. You can’t eat dairy products, fats, oils, any fried thing, and carbohydrates in form of grains, bread, pastas and noodles.

4. Banana Diet:

Banana diet is a simple diet in which you only eat bananas and milk. I personally don’t like it much because I don’t like bananas. But you can go bananas if you are a banana fan.

5. Detoxifying Diet:

Detoxifying diet or in simple words Detox diet, can be taken as a pre diet or an initial diet plan. This diet is planned with the concept of removing wastes from the body so that the body can be returned to a healthy form, hence responds more to any of the diet. You have to eat simple food that is easily digested. Food should be free from chemicals. Have to chew properly, drink a lot of water. Eat specially given recipes including fruits and vegetables. This diet basically acts on the bowel activity and enhances it to increase so that the wastes can be removed.

You have to avoid processed food, chemicals, medicines, coffee, tea except herbal tea, all nicotine and caffeine.

6. Liquid Diet:

This diet comprises of only liquids in any form. You can have water, teas, coffee, milk, fresh juices and soups. You can drink anything but you can not eat anything. It is based on a thought that liquids have minimum amount of calories as compared to the solid foods. Liquid generally have no fats and carbohydrate in them.

It is very simple diet as all you need to avoid is solids in any form.

7. Wine, Cheese And Chocolate Diet:

This sound yummiest of all. Doesn’t it? It’s a known fact that almost one in three Americans is obese. Though they all eat low fat, low carb and low sugar diets more than anyone in the world. Where as the French women have a ratio of one in ten. This gave an inspiration for this diet, because all they eat is cheese, chocolate and wine. This diet was planned by the Marie Claire team. They’ve suggested particular recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can choose from them and start losing weight. The main ingredients they use are cheese, bread, chocolates, fat and red wine.
