Many people may be sensitive to the gluten, a protein found in wheat, grain, and barley, and not even know it. This sensitivity causes a wide range of aliments, including weight gain. Eating a gluten-free diet can help stop weight gain and promote weight loss.
It’s said that people who live in countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea live longer and suffer less illness. By following the same diet and lifestyle, you can do the same. The Mediterranean Diet emphasizes an active lifestyle and eating fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, legumes, and olive oil. Fish and seafood should be eaten several times per week and dairy and poultry only in moderation. Red wine is allowed, but red meat and sweets should be saved for special occasions.
The Paleo diet is based the theory that eating processed, carbohydrate laden foods cause obesity and other health problems. With this diet, you eat the foods that early humans ate during the Paleolithic period such as meat, fish, vegetables, and fruit. The foods you can’t eat include all dairy and grain products as well as processed foods.
The Raw Diet has been around since the late 1800s. Since then, it has evolved into a mainstream health movement. It’s believed that raw food is healthier since more than half the vitamins are lost when food is cooked. The diet allows any food that hasn’t been cooked, processed, genetically engineered or exposed to pesticides or herbicides, in its whole, natural state.
Which diet really works?
The good news is, just about any diet can work. It doesn’t matter if you are eating cookies, vegetables, or raw meat. As long as you’re burning more calories than you’re consuming, the pounds will come off. Another component to consider when looking for a diet is nutrition. Research shows that the best nutrition comes from eating a variety of foods including fruits, vegetables and whole grains. They are more nutritious than eating foods that are processed and contain high amounts of sugar, fat and calories.In the end, the most effective diet will be the one that fits your lifestyle and includes food that you enjoy, or at least tolerate, eating.
