When it comes to finding the best diet, you have to factor in your own eating habits, medical history and lifestyle. A single diet isn't the best for everyone, so a good diet for someone else may not be good for you, as you may already know. By finding a diet that suits who you really are it will seem a lot less of an ordeal losing weight.
One diet that's very popular is Weight Watchers. In addition to getting a special diet with Weight Watchers, you also get to be a part of a huge worldwide community on the internet that can be accessed 24/7. With Weight Watchers things are kept simple by giving foods points, which are based on different factors like how long it'll take to burn off, what kind of food it is (like a protein or carbohydrate) and how many calories it contains.
Foods that contain more fat and calories will "cost" you more to eat, whereas something lighter in calories will "cost" less, therefore you can eat all foods unlike most diets. Foods that are easier to burn off and are healthier will be chosen by you more as you learn to pick them because of the point system, but you can make your own selections too. It's definitely worth thinking about doing Weight Watchers as it has a history of helping people to lose weight.
If you like the idea of a scientific approach to dieting, the Volumetrics Diet may appeal to you. This is all about the energy density of foods, how many calories a food has compared to how filling it is, and this was started by a nutrition professor called Barbara Rolls. Low in calories and high in volume is a low density food, which is good for losing weight. This is food like fruit and veg. There is an opposite to this, which is high density foods, having lots of calories in a small volume of the food like cookies or sweets. There are 4 categories for the Volumetrics Diet with 1 being the least dense foods and 4 most dense. The first and second groups are what you want to eat the most of.
It is usually wise to visit the doctor before embarking on a diet. To begin with, your doctor can inform you about how much weight you ought to lose to get the optimum health. Also, any other issues that you should take a look at, like cholesterol or high blood pressure, can be pointed out.
A few diets can help to fix these issues at the same time as assisting you with your weight loss. You can also be advised by your doctor on which diets would be good to choose and which would be bad.
Every diet is different for everyone, there is not one diet that's best for all. You have to be patient and give the diet a chance, for one thing. Very low calorie diets are mostly seen as unhealthy unless needed so the best way to lose weight is by doing it gradually and this will help you keep it off.
