What is the best diet program for you?

By Mike Roussell · Friday, February 27th, 2009

One of the real problems nowadays with the Internet, TV and people

always being in contact and plugged into the system is that you get

this overflow of information. There’s always a new diet coming out.

I was actually at Barnes & Noble’s the other day, and there’s a whole

diet based around your poop. I think it’s called The Poop Diet. I

won’t get into the details, but how your adventures in the bathroom

go, that tells you about what you should eat.

So there are a lot of gimmicks out there. Some have been around

forever, like the grapefruit diet, and some are new, like the poop

diet.

The real key is when you select a diet program you want it, really to

be based on sound principles. You don’t want a fad diet. When you pick

a diet, you want to stick to it. So if you’re going to go on a low

carb diet, like the Atkins Diet maybe, then stick to that diet.

Don’t use that diet for two weeks, then decide to go on the South

Beach Diet for two weeks, and then say, “Well, neither of these diets

work.” It doesn’t work that way.

If you’re going to pick a diet, stick to it, and go with it for a long

duration of time. Ideally, you would pick a diet that you could follow

for the rest of your life.

So if you want to lose weight, start with a carb-restricted diet:

maybe a little more extreme, like a warp speed fat-loss diet. Then

after a little bit, you slowly eat more carbs. But pretty much you’re

going to stick with a carb-restricted diet.

The same thing goes, let’s say, if you wanted to do the South Beach

Diet. Do that, but then keep in mind that that should be the diet that

you want to adapt and adopt for your whole life. When you get rid of

this diet jumping, going from one diet to the next to the latest fad

to the next, that’s really when you’re going to get long-term success.
