Different Examples of Dieting and Diets

When you are thinking about starting a diet, the most important thing to keep in mind is balance.  Why?  Well the reason for that is to keep you healthy happy and fit.Getting the right amount of nutrients per day is critical to have a balanced and healthy lifestyle. You might be thinking that you do get it all from your daily vitamin supplement, but you are wrong.
Your vitamin supplement only works efficiently when you are eating regularly and healthy. That is why it is the reason why it is called a supplement.
Also think about why you are starting the diet. Is it to gain weight, lose weight, detox, or just to stay in shape and be more healthy? You need to follow a different diet plan for each of these scenarios, but all of them should be a balanced and healthy solution for your specific situation.

If you want to gain muscle you would likely add more protein to your diet, but eating protein is important even if you want to lose weight. Remember what I said about balance. “According to the National Academy of Sciences, the Dietary Reference Intake for protein is “0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight for adults.”
When you want to lose weight it is important to break down fat and not muscle, to stop muscle from breaking down you have to eat enough protein.
If you are eating too much carbohydrates and calories for your body’s daily use, then it will cause fat to form in your body, and depending on whether you are a male or female it will be deposited on different places like the hips or belly.

Remember it is very important to exercise with your diet, because without exercise losing weight is almost impossible and very unhealthy. The majority of people who want to lose weight do cardiovascular exercises because it raises their heartbeat and metabolism which causes their body to use up your carbohydrates and calories from your food faster and start breaking down their body fat.

Thus eating less of certain foods containing certain nutrients may cause you to lose weight but not eating enough of certain foods may cause malnutrition.

A few examples of diets are:
  • Low-fat diets
  • Low-carbohydrate diets
  • Low-calorie diets
  • Detox diets
  • Very low-calorie diets
Always remember to eat a healthy balanced diet and exercise regularly and by doing that you will live longer and stay healthy and happy.
