True that the word "diet," brings along visions of joyless eating, bored taste buds, and mounds of food labeled "Off Limits" and locked away, never to be tasted again. What's the first thing that comes to mind when you realize you need dieting? "I can't eat my favorite foods". This feeling is fearful and depressing. Remember, your body is not an enemy that needs to be beaten and starved into submission. You should know that deprivation diets, fad diets and taboo-food diets convey wrong messages. Food was created for a reason. Each food has specific benefits and potential drawbacks. Even chocolate, in certain forms, is said to protect against high blood pressure and heart disease. On the other hand, if you eat nothing but grapefruits, you'll be loading up on certain vitamins, but missing out on a lot of other very important nutrients. The mantra is to balance. Too much of anything can turn into bad. But not enough of everything can hurt even more. Building healthy habits can really be and must be fun! This is a positive thing you're doing, making yourself healthy and happy at the same time.
Just try to measure, how far your car would go on watered down gas or without any oil? 20 miles probably! You're no different. Deprive your body of what it needs and it'll break down. The secret is to be conscious of the grades of "oil" and "gas" that you use. Some are more powerful than others, and help you run longer on less fuel. To fuel your body for optimal performance while losing weight, dieticians strongly suggests four major strategies when setting up a weight loss program:
Control your food portions. Who really needs "Biggie" anything?
Make smart substitutions.
