Millions of Diets, what's good for you?


There are so many diets out there, that makes people wonder which one is the right one? Well the only right one would have to be the one that works for you. The best one I think would have to be a low calorie, low fat, and regular amounts of protein diet. Try to eat a lot more, but a lot more of low calorie foods, such as veggies! There are certain foods that burn calories, and they fill you up! To many people get confused, because they see that everyone around them is trying some other diet, and they never know which one to pick. I’m going to break down 1 diet at a time ok. Today we’ll talk about the infamous Atkins diet.
Atkins diet was truly one of the biggest fad diets out there. It came and it swept all of America by storm with it’s promises of losing a lot of weight by cutting out the carbohydrates. Saying that by doing so the body will begin to eat the fat that is left over! Seeing as that is true, but when a body is out of energy it doesn’t eat up the fat, the first thing it goes to to find energy is the protein, you muscles, organs, etc. So while you were dieting, and eating excess amounts of meat, thinking it was safe, what you were really doing was losing a lot of your muscle mass, and a lot of your hearts mass and other organs.
You can take the good from Atkins diet, and combine it with all other diets out there, and form a real unique diet that will help you lose your weight. See there are so many diets out there, each one competing for your money, they make something up most of the time, and other times they just take one small part of a healthy diet, and they just focus on that. I say take the low carb idea, but add that with other foods. Mainly meat, fruits and veggies! A balanced meal is the key!
