swimming diets

Sparex, After trying several diets--from Adkins, The Zone, to vegetarian, and even a bodybuilder type diet from Beverly International--I have realized that it's best to make good decisions, and eat clean. The problem with Adkins, as you will soon find, if not already, that it is limiting. It is impossible to say--ok, bread is totally off limits, as is pasta and mashed potatos. Sure he says you can eat it later--but come on! My new approach is to eat like the French. Great food, with smaller portions. They eat plenty of vegetables, fish, unsaturated fats, cheeses, and red wine. It has variety, and is enjoyable. Personally, I naturally eat alot of fat and protein. However, I could still loose 15 pounds. The reason Adkins and the others work temporarily, is because a person eats less, period. If you stay on it, you will find that you will hit a plateau quickly. It might be a loss of 15 pounds or even 20. but eventually, you'll stop loosing, or go off the severly limiting diet. The book I recommend is Dr. Phil's new book...he had a show on with Katie Curick the other night. While he can get on my nerves at times, he has great approaches to weight loss. In reality, you know what to do. You know what foods are good for you--it's making that happen that's the hard part. Everyone I know that has done Adkins has stayed on for a little while--but inevitably falls off. It's so discouraging to have this happen. So, eat clean--meaning, veggies and fruits--and limit foods that are fattening...eat one cookie instead of 6! And, make sure you eat 3-5 times a day. 3 meals, and 2 snacks. For snack, protein bars, and fruits are great. And most importantly, realize that weight loss takes time, and isn't easy. It's not about 30 pounds off in 30 days...that's a set up for failure. Good luck, Jerrycat PS, Buy Dr. Phil's new book!
