People who need to drop weight are constantly searching for diets that work.  The issue isn’t really finding a diet that works, but rather locating a diet to which a person can stick.

The diet industry is enormous today.

With books, diet food programs, trainers and nutritionists, spas, and all the other elements of the health and diet industry a lot of money, over 46.8 billion dollars in 2005, is made not from people becoming healthy or losing weight, but rather from people trying to become healthy or lose weight.

Because the money comes from repeat business, the focus is naturally on the roller coaster reality of un-healthy living followed by short stints of diets and health programs.

Here’s a diet that works.

Drink only water, eat only 1000 calories each day, and combine it with 30 minutes of aerobic activity five days a week.  It’s a guarantee you’ll shed weight.  Only two small things.

#1 cravings will likely ruin the diet.  Sooner or later, particularly after intense work outs, those 1000 calories won’t be enough to satisfy.  One piece of cake, or just one bag of chips, or one extra hot dog will soon cause you to ending the diet.

The second problem is what happens after the diet is over?  What happens when the weight is gone?  What, you’ll return to eating the same way you ate before the diet?  Guess what, then the weight will come back.  Next beach season, or next fancy dress occasion, or next family trip, or simply the next time you look into a looking glass on the way out of the shower  it will be time to return to a diet to lose the unwanted pounds. 

The best diet is one making a change to overall diet, forever.  A lifestyle change to healthier eating habits and more exercise is the best way to lose weight and keep off the unwanted pounds.

The Sonoma Diet, created by Connie Guttersen, discusses 10 “power foods.” The power foods  are almonds, bell peppers, blueberries, broccoli, grapes, olive oil, spinach, strawberries, tomatoes and whole grains, combined with the diet of the Sonoma country, which includes Asian, Latin American and Mediterranean foods and dishes.  The diet includes a wide variety of real, and enjoyable foods so it’s easy to remain on it .

Want a diet that is effective?

Shift the focus away from a short term diet to permanent eating habits that go along with an overall healthy and active lifestyle.  That’s the way to not only lose the weight, but to avoid gaining it in the first place.
