Every thing about Are Diets Healthy or Harmful? | Vahrehvah :

While the word diet generally refers to the combination of foods that we eat normally, it has also come to mean a certain regimen of food that contains restriction of certain food groups in order to aid weight loss. Often many people who are Obese, Diabetic etc follow a diet pattern to lose weight while few too thin people diet in order to gain weight.

Firstly we all must understand that in every endeavor, planning   is the most effective yet critical tool in achieving our goals. It is very vital to run the process smoothly just like in dieting.

Before you actually start planning for a diet regime, some of the common questions that would arise are Can you easily find these foods in your local grocery store?

Will you be able to eat your favorite foods? Does it fit your lifestyle and budget? Does it include proper amounts of nutrients and calories to help you lose weight safely and effectively?

Is regular physical activity part of the plan? Etc etc….

Dieting is not new and people have been using this way to control the intake of certain food items for ages. But the craze for reducing one’s weight to look more attractive and sexy has become a trend/ passion/ style statement which has given birth to various types of different diets that claim to give fast results.

However, not all diets are suitable for all individuals, it many depend on the individual’s problem in specific. But here there is a common question that arises, if these diets are healthy or not! Dieting is a balancing act where you need to follow some principles such as:

1. While making a diet plan, firstly you should gradually reduce your fad foods which add in counting your carbs in your body.
2. Always remember in mind that weight loss comes down to burning more calories that you actually eat in through undergoing such physical activities.
3. Understanding the equation is the very first activity that you should write in your diet plan. Set your weight loss goals sub plans for reaching them.
4. Take support from friends, family or dietician who could support you in the process to make a smart planning.

There are a number of diet plans that you would find on the social networking such as: General Motors Diet, Atkins Diet, Paleolithic Diet, Blood Group Diet, South Beach Diet, Low Carb Diet, High Protein Diet, and the list goes on and on….but remember  that there are no shortcuts.
