Atkins, South Beach, Beverly Hills, Fat Flush, Mediterranean etc. – what do all these names have in common? They are all diet plans, some stricter then others and they are all the self-proclaimed “proven way to permanent weight loss”. Let me tell you a little secret, although they all have different foods and nutritional plans they ALL rely on one thing to make you loose weight is yep, it’s that little thing called calorie reduction. Truth is, you can actually gain weight on any of these programs if you eat more then what your body needs – put another way, excess calories are stored by the body as fat. The very thing paying to get rid of!

You may ask then, why are there so many diet plans out there? Simple answer is money! Now, you may say – it worked for me! Fantastic, but if you want to keep the new you and not get into the cycle of jumping into another program in the coming months, hence feeding the diet industry more of your hard earned cash, you need to do the following. Workout with weights, monitor your diet and measurements – including your BMI. Before you do anything, you should consult a certified nutritionist, doctor and an experienced personal trainer. All those diets should be seen as a stepping stone to getting you on a diet that YOU can live with. What you want to do is turn the motivation of reaching one goal towards reaching future healthy lifestyle achievements.
