Diets, diets… Do they work??

When coming to lose weight, one would always think of the perfect diet. But which one actually works? We have heard of the GI diet, which focuses on the consumption of foods with a low GI( a measure of the release of sugar into the bloodstream), this diet serves to keep us fuller for longer periods of time, preventing us from snacking often.

Other famous diets include the south beach diet, the Mediterranean diet, the Zone diet and finally the infamous Atkins diet. But which one is the best? Which one actually works well? Actually, all of them work, regardless of the way each diet advocates weight loss, as long as one follows them religiously and not overdo things, these diets work perfectly.

Diets all work under the same principle, that is, consumption of lesser calories then u expand, so if you want to lose weight effectively, use less calories then you consume. Always aim to lose weight at a steady rate, remember a pound of fat is the equivalent of 3500 calories. So plan to cut your calories by 500 everyday over a period of 7 days, at this rate you can lose weight healthily and not drastically which might result in heavy muscle wastage. If that occurs, your metabolism will slow down drastically and regaining the weight which you desperately tried to lose would be extremely difficult.
