Fad Diets - What You Need To Know
by Shelby Douglas
If you find diets tough to follow for long because you're too hungry, tired or spaced out when to them, it could be because you're not getting the nutrients your system needs. Learn two methods for coping with hunger and just how these become unhealthy fads when taken up the extreme.
One of the issues we face dieting is finding out how to manage hunger. Whether its that mid afternoon slump, or mid morning cravings, being hungry for too long is a fast way to derail all our good intentions to turn over a new lettuce leaf.
Different strategies have in the past been proposed to manage hunger. Some people find drinking a glass of water when they are hungry helps. The model Gisele Bundchen is indeed a advocate of this approach. And judging by her stunning figure, she's a great poster girl for increasing your fluid intake. Water has numerous benefits for the body, and individuals often simply don't drink enough. There's even a book on the subject that is definitely the view that many diseases in final years are related to a kind of entrenched state of dehydration ("Your Body's Many Cries for Water" by F.Batmanghelid,MD).
Whilst diets composed mainly of soups are fairly common (think the Cabbage Soup diet and Liz Hurley's favorite, the Watercress Soup Diet), this is not the healthiest way to approach soup. Nor could it be likely to lead to long tern success. Diets that concentrate on just one vegetable or kind of food are not only boring to go on, they do not provide the range of nutrients that this body needs to function well. Could hunger sometimes be the body's way of saying, 'I require some nutrients'. Sustainable weight loss just isn't achieved by setting up an unrealistic diet plan that is painful to follow along with for more than a week and instead gives off you fantasizing about food on a regular basis. Unless of course you don't mind sleeping hungry for two years like Liz did after her son was born.
Starvation and nutrient restriction cause loss of muscle mass and bone mineral density. Not to mention fatigue as well as other possible health problems if followed long-term.
The irony is always that soups, including cabbage soup and watercress soup, work great for you. They are an easy task to digest, and can be prepared ahead and frozen. Like that you have a low kilojoule snack that is certainly often high in fiber ready in the helm as a quick pick-me-up when hunger strikes between meals.
And a few soups have surprising many benefits. For example, the Japanese Miso soup may be linked with preventing liver cancer, breast cancers and skin cancer, with theories also proposed about a benefit to skin on account of linoleic acid. Whether that is found to be true, it is just a delicious base for your favorite vegetables, and intensely easy to prepare over completely from scratch. It takes only about 10 minutes to prepare, and when garnished with grated ginger is a great energizing soup when you are tired.
Neither soup nor water alone will cause weight loss, and neither should these strategies be used to extremes and become a substitute for following a healthy, balanced diet. However they provide a way to minimize excursions into old habits we have been trying to change even as we address the lifestyle choices that triggered gaining excess weight to begin with. And by providing the nutrients one's body actually needs, you'll be creating a change in the grade of life experienced daily.
