Health and Wellness Tips

Health and Wellness - Diets

There are many fad diets on the market that should be avoided such as Low Calorie and No Carbs diet, which can unhealthy and cause side effects.

How to spot a fad diet

• Contradicts what most trusted health professionals are saying
• Relies on testimonials and anecdotes, rather than scientific evidence
• Encourages eliminating whole food groups, such as carbohydrates
• Promises rapid weight loss of more than two pounds a week
• Suggests that particular foods have the power to burn fat
• Includes lists of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ foods
• Encourages strange quantities of particular foods or types of food, such as eating unlimited bowls of cabbage soup, cereal, or only consuming certain foods on certain days of the week
• Recommends specific food combination
• Relies on meal substitutes, such as shakes
• Does not encourage an increase in physical activity.

So What Does Work?

Weight-loss Clinics - on or offline

Meeting with a trained dietitian or nutritionist will provide a specific program, tailored to your individual needs. This is much better than a one-size-fits-all program. You will receive ongoing support and advice as necessary, which should include targeting underlying problems, associated with the initial weight gain.

Low GI Diet

The GI plan was originally created to help diabetics manage their blood sugars better, however it can also be useful for weight loss in those without diabetes. Low GI plans focus on foods that are high fiber, which help to maintain blood sugar levels, and make you feel fuller longer.

The DASH Diet

The DASH Diet is a low-salt, high-carb, high-fiber plan originally designed to help lower blood pressure, but can also be used to aid weight loss. It focuses on basic healthy eating guidelines, emphasizing regular exercise, and is therefore a well balanced approach to losing weight.

Weight Watchers

The Weight Watchers program is based on healthy eating and calorie control. The program provides support, education, advice and promotes exercise. The system uses a point system to count calories and although in the being it feels daunting, after some use, it is easily implemented into your eating habits.

Lifestyle changes are better than ‘diets.’ Learn portion control, eat a balanced diet with lots of fruits and vegetables.
