OMG.. I need to start dieting!!

Are you trying to figure out a dieting plan in order to lose some weight? If yes, then you are wrong. Dieting may help you in losing weight over a short period of time, however; it involves starving, and that may lead to a serious health condition. There is a huge perception amongst the people that dieting and starving yourself will help in losing the fat belly that you have had for years. The fact of the matter is, a healthy eating lifestyle will help you in losing that fat belly, although over a longer time period, but forever. Before you starve yourself, you need to keep in mind that dieting will lead you in losing the vital nutrients of the body that may lead towards cancer or diabetes. Some of the diet plans, recommended by some of the “nutritionists” may involve in complete elimination of carbs, protein and fat from your daily food, whereas, in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle you need all these food types in balance. Personally, in my opinion diets are not only unhealthy but also boring. When you are jumping on the dieting plan, just ask yourself that for how long you can have a bowl of soup or a glass of juice? Not for long I guess, however; eating healthy is always fun and it helps you to stay in a great shape, not by only helping you to reduce weight, but also giving your body the required nutrients and calories. Not only this, but apart from that, you will not have to worry about counting the calories whenever you go to the supermarket for your food shopping. Now, looking at some of the benefits that you will gain from a healthy eating plan is numerous as compared to what a dieting plan will give you. Although it will take you a little extra time in losing the extra weight but the fact of the matter is that with a diet plan you will gain that extra weight again as soon as you give up on the dieting program whereas, if you are on a healthy diet, you will manage to lose weight permanently. Healthy diet plan, as opposed to a diet, gives you a complete plan towards weight loss that means you have to implement healthy lifestyle changes in order to guarantee success whereas, dieting is only concerned with what you eat and drink. A healthy nutrition plan will always encourage you to educate you about what you should eat rather than just telling you what to eat.. You can always make healthy eating choices and educate yourself about your eating needs for permanent results.
