Summertime is approaching and, for those who have to lose weight and wand to wear their most beautiful bathing suit on the beach, it's time to think about starting a little diet.nnWhether you have five or forty pounds to lose, the choice of the most healthy and effective diet is sometimes hard. There are hundreds of different diets out there, all with the pros and cons.n nWhatever diet you choose, you will almost have to remove sugar and fat and deprive you of things you love, whether a burger, a pizza or shrimps in cream sauce.nnHere is a review of some of the most famous diet programs that will help you to choose the one that will work for you.nnThe South Beach Dietn nMethod: good and bad carbohydrates.nnYou should not have to count the calories and do not limit the carbohydrate ingestion.nnThis diet includes three phases:nnPhase 1: you may eat all what you want except carbohydrates; alcohol, beer, etc. are also banned.nnPhase 2: this is the phase where you will be reintroducing some of the prohibited foods, this phase lasts as long as you wish or have to lose weight.nnPhase 3: you enter the phase that is supposed to maintain your new weight.nnBy following the South Beach Diet, you are not supposed to feel hungry. On the other hand, this kind of weight loss diet can be rather expensive.nnCalorie Restrictionn nThis is the easiest diet to understand. When you follow that kind of diet, you have to remove some types of foods. The Calorie Restriction Diet is a healthy diet, based on a better quality of life ; that brings you good health, few hyper or hypotension problems.nnThe inconvenient of this diet is that you may notice that you feel hungry, and always must count the calories intake and perfectly know the contents of each and every food you take.nnYou will also have to restrict the meals at the restaurant...nnThe Zone Dietn nHere is what the Zone Diet allows you to eat:nn * Carbohydratesn * Proteinsn * Fat (olive oil, butter)nnWhat you cannot eat:nn * Fruits and vegetables that are rich in sugarn * Potatoes, rice, pasta, bread, etc.nnWhat you cannot drink:nn * Alcoholn * Sodas, etc.nnYou will lose weight quickly but once you will finish the diet, you will be at the risk to gain the lost weight again - and maybe some more pounds. So, after having made such a diet, you will have to restrict your food if you want to maintain your new waist line.nnDr Atkins Diet - The fast weight loss methodn nThis kind of diet method enables you to lose weight very quickly.nnIt is easy to follow and you may eat a great number and a large variety of food. While following this diet, you are not supposed to feel hungry; which is a positive point. On the other hand, since you take few carbs, it can produce a loss of energy and vitality when it is prolonged. If you take carbohydrate, you will gain weight and alcohol is completely prohibited.nnCleansing / Detox Dietn nIf you want to feel more fresh, lighter or more energetic, choose Detox / Cleansing Diet.nnDetox Diet will cleanse your liver which will metabolize the food more quickly and allows you a long term weight loss. However, this kind of weight loss program is not easy to follow without feeling hungry. So it can be hard to stick to the Cleansing/Detox diet more than two weeks.nnTip: have a Detox Diet one week before leaving on holiday.nnThe Green Tea Dietn nThis weight loss diet is the easiest diet to do! It seems also appreciated by the professionals and seems effective.nnDrinking green tea not only helps you to lose weight but it is also very good for your health. It should be noted that the loss of weight is not as spectacular as with reducing diets but it is also the safest loss of weight: slowly lost pounds do not come back or if they return, they will do it as slowly as you lost them.nnIf you plan to follow the Green Tea Diet, ensure you that you like to drink green tea ;-)nnNatural Health Dietn nIf you take weight loss pills you can boost their action by changing your way of eating. If you do not plan to take pills to help you lose weight but want to follow a healthy diet, then Natural Health Diet is the perfect weight loss plan.nnYou could make it healthier by limiting your portions and reducing the amount of fats that you eat. There are also other excellent ways to boost your natural weight loss while maintaining your body healthy ; for instance, by walking and cycling.nnHappy weight loss!
