Popular Diets That Promise Weight Loss
Our population is growing bigger everyday, and we are not talking about the number of people that are on this planet. Americans are growing in size and at this rate we will be a country of nothing but overweight people. There are a myriad of popular diets that all claim that with just a couple of pills everyday, you can drop five pant sizes in just a few days. A lot of these, although very popular diets, are just trying to sell you a product that will do nothing in regards to making you thinner. The only reduction that you will feel is the amount of money in your wallet. They promise you the world and in the end deliver to you empty promises.
There are a few popular diets that can provide you results that are positive. The first thing that you need to know when dealing with a diet, is that there is no miracle diet that will take away the pounds in a dramatic fashion. These diets will however allow you to lose some extra weight while still at the same time remaining healthy. Another thing that you need to be aware of, is that any diet that says that you can lose ten pounds in ten days, is selling you a product that will in the end be very unhealthy for you. It is never a good idea to lose this much weight in such a short amount of time.
One of the great, popular diets that is on the market is called the fool proof diet. This is exactly as its names implies. These diets are based on you, for lack of a better term, tricking your body into not realizing that you are dieting. When a person begins a diet, their body is the main reason that the diet fails. We store body fat for the purpose of providing fuel. This fat is used when we do not have provide enough food to the body. The body will reduce the rate that this fat is burned, and a result, your body is defeating the diet by thinking it is protecting you.
The fool proof diet allows you to diet and your body never knows any different. The way that this works, is that you change everyday, the number of calories that you take in, this as a result keeps your body guessing as to what is going on.
Another of the popular diets that seems to have a massive following is the lemonade and cabbage diet. This is simply a diet that has you eat nothing but cabbage and drink lemonade for about two weeks, then you are supposedly going to see a drastic result in weight loss. If this diet works or not, is anybody’s guess, the one thing that can be said is that you will not want cabbage or lemonade ever again after being on this diet for two weeks.
Regardless of which of these popular diets that you choose, you will need to make sure that you investigate them thoroughly, to ensure that you know what exactly you are getting into. Good luck in achieving your weight loss goals.

ANSWER:
A great one to do to totally wow your teacher and your friends is the low fat compared to the atkins diet. America is the Fattest country in the world, and heart disease is the #2 preventable killer next to smoking (and that’s soon going to change at this rate). Take a look around, every where you look its low fat this, low fat that. Well, why is everyone still fat?! Because Carbohydrates are the bodies 1st energy source. It burns carbs before it burns anything else. So, Limit the carbs and your body will start digging into the fat supply for energy. All fat is is just stored energy. There is a good overview for you, and its really easy to research. Watch a movie like “Supersize Me” for more easy help.

QUESTION:
What are the side effects of popular diets?
I am doing a group presentation and wanted to know what types of nutrient and other things your neglect yourself when doing diets such as the grapefruit diet and Atkins Diet. I need three diets, though I only need to talk for 4 minutes.-
ANSWER:
The two most popular diets are:- Calorie restricted diet
- Atkins dietNeither diet is effective over a period of one year or more (Gina Kolata “Rethinking Thin”). The human body is architected to prevent starvation and was not designed to handle the amount of fat, oil, sugars, and additives in the standard American diet today. When you eat too few calories, your body automatically reduces metabolizm and stores fat. Calorie restricted diets go against the hard wiring of the human brain.
Atkins is down right dangerous according to Dr. Neal Barnard and Dr. Dean Ornish (among many experts in human nutrition). The risk of heart disease, obesity, stroke, some cancers, and diabetes can be expected to increase in this diet. The diet is high in cholesterol and fat and will cause cardiovascular disease
The one diet that seems to work universally when a person follows it for life is a pure vegetarian diet. According to the experts listed before and Dr Calwell Esselstyn, Jr. this is an ideal diet. I lost 50 pounds by changing my eating habits in this way. Vegetarians must be careful to get enough vitamin B12, vitamin D, and Omega-3 fatty acids. These can be added with supplements.
