what is the best diet?
154006
Eating healthy, SMALL meals about 5 times a day.  and NO SODAS.  LOTS and LOTS of water.\n\nDo this and exercise about 30 min 3 to 4 times a week, and you will not only lose weight, but your HEALTH will improve DRAMATICLY.

I believe that no diet is the best diet. The human body has a sophistication to marvel at. If we leave the body alone to do what comes naturally, it knows instinctively what it needs. Scientists will take thousands of years to figure out things that the body now knows by natural instinct. I love science, but the media is having a wonderfully lucrative time putting everyone in a frenzy with something new every day that just serves to increase their viewer ratings.

The best supplement is a good nutrional diet.  You should be able to get everything you need for building muscle just through your diet, if you eat right, and eat often enough.\n\nThe only thing that is at all worth the money is protein supplementation.

A well balanced diet, with an active life style will help you lose weight.  A diet that lacks carbs or protiens any other of the food groups isn't a good method.

The best diet for anyone, whether they need to lose 10 pounds or 100 pounds is a balanced one.  Eat lots of vegetables and fruits, some grains, and some protein.  Very low fat or very low carb diets deprive your body of needed nutrients.  Weight Watchers is a good program, as is the Biggest Loser Club.  There are lots of good programs available.  The most important thing is to make sure the one you choose is one you can stick with!  And, exercise is key no matter what you are eating.

You need more than a diet.  You need exercise. Just get active in anyway.  As far as a diet, just start easting better all around.  No more fast food or junk food.  Lots of fruits and vegetables.  Lots of water.  Atleast a 1/2 gallon to a gallon a day of water.

In the long run a fast diet is never the answer, if you lose weight fast it only means you will gain it again fast too.\n\nThe best long-term diet I can recommend is no diet. Just take the following guidelines:\n\n1. Never skip meals, if you skip meals, especially breakfast, you will have a greater tendency to snack later in the day.\n2. No candy, cake or other sweets.\n3. No potato chips, junk food, pizza etc\n4. Exercise regularly, if you build up your muscles it will mean that you will burn more calories ( even when resting).\n5. eat regularly, at regular times, if you have the freedom to do so I recommend eating a small portion 5-6 times a day. If you eat potatoes, don't take gravy, eat your salad without the dressing, cut down on salt and sugar intake.\n6. If you get the munchies, chew on a carrot or a celery stick, they contain no calories and you will actually burn more calories while digesting them.\n7. Read ingredients, if you are planning to buy anything while grocery shopping, always read what is in it.\n\nGood luck!

you need to rephrase your sentence,its hard to understand what you are talking about.\n\n\nGood diets include a variety of fruits,vegetables,lean protein,whole grains and legumes,as well as vitmains,minerals and other phyto nutrients,and enough esential fats found in nuts,seeds,flax and fish oil.That combined with caloric consumption control and exercise makes for a good diet.\n\nBad diets include proccessed foods,chemical laden preservative foods,cokes,candies,pies,sugary colas and other fried,greasy and calorie laden snack items,Hormone injected meat and white flour goods.

The quickest way isn't always the best way or the right way for you. Here are 3 different approaches that work:\n\n1) The quickest by far is surgery, of course. Liposuction is fast and works wonders- but actual stomach reductions (stapling, bypass etc) have not only been proven effective for weightloss but also in reducing the chances you'll develop adult onset diabetes.\n\n2) Next fastest is to eat a diet of 80% natural fats and 20% protein, in 5 small portions, with a target of 1000 calories a day. This is like eating a 2 oz bag of macadamia nuts, or 2 oz of egg salad or tuna salad as a complete meal, every meal. It works- and for any significant amount of weight it's better than starvation. More importantly the high fat content of the diet ensures that your body continues to produce the hormones you need to retain muscle tissue- so you lose fat pounds and not muscle pounds.\n\n3) Probably the best long term solution to lose weight and improve your health is to follow a light excercise routine several times per week, and to eat a diet that is high in fiber and has a low glycemic index (that is- eat foods that are low in processed sugar and grains, preferring when you eat carbohydrates to try whole grains and natural sugars).

I hope you mean just the menu for free.  I'd search the internet.  The one I recommend is the Mediterranean diet because it is the most well balanced.  Also it it's the best for your heart and figure.

a low-carb, low fat, high-fiber diet is the best diet. this is a sample menu, about 1200 calories the whole day. you will not spend a lot, and you will not feel hunger.\n\nbreakfast:\n1 pc toast / sliced bread\n1 pc banana or apple\n1 glass of milk\ntea or coffee with low cal sweetener (or sugar)\n\n10 am snack:\n1 banana or apple OR\n10 pcs of berries OR\n1 cup popcorn\n1 glass lemonade or juice\n\nlunch:\nopen sandwich (no bread on top) containing:\n1 slice of smoked ham (about 60 grams)\ntomatoes, lettuce, onion\n1 glass juice/lemonade/tea\n\n4pm snack:\n3 pcs of oreo cookies OR\n1 palmful peanuts OR\nany medium sized fruit\n\ndinner:\n1 100-gram cut of lean meat (if chicken, no skin)\n1 1/2 golfball size serving mashed potato or pasta\nup to 2 cups of green veggies or steamed carrots and peas\ndessert: any medium fruit OR\n1 golfball size of low fat ice cream or sorbet\n1 cup of coffee or tea\n\nyou can do variations of this sample plan. very low cost (not totally no cost of course), and low maintenance. you will not feel any hunger at any time of the day. the best thing is, these foods are definitely available in your own house, probably also the things you eat daily. and you will not deprive yourself so binging and mood swings will be avoided.\n\nthrow in some exercise while you're at it: jogging, weightlifting for muscle development, pilates for flexibility (there are websites that show some basic pilates moves), powerwalking for stamina building. even regular day to day activities help - walking to the bus station, bicycling to the supermarket, mopping the floor, you can even do some jogging in-place while watching TV. remember that a well balanced diet and regular exercise is still the best. not only will you be kept trim, you will also stay healthy.\n\nremember that there are no quick-fix diets and exercises. starving yourself and pushing yourself to extreme exhaustion would only lead to even more dangers, and a higher medical cost. the best way to achieve your goal and to get a healthier body is to incorporate a well balanced diet and enough exercise in your daily life.

The only diet that really works and lasts forever, is one that is healthy and is supplemented by healthy exercise.\n\nMy suggestion would be to take up swimming, and to try to meet the suggested walking target of 10,000 steps a day, buy or get a free pedometer (step counter, some cereals are giving them away).  You can incorporate brisk walking into almost any daily routine.\n\nhttp://www.shapeup.org/10000steps.html\nhttp://www.thewalkingsite.com/10000steps.html\nhttp://www.ivillage.co.uk/dietandfitness/getfit/sportsacts/articles/0,,258_660123,00.html\n\nAs for diets, you should be aiming at a diet that you can sustain and enjoy, avoid fast food (burgers etc) ready meals (TV dinners) and sweets (once you hit your target weight learn to treat once a week only).  Try replacing sweets with cereal bars (watch these as they still have sugars in them) fruit salads, and fruit in general.\n\nAt meal time if you eat of a typical 10 inch plate it should NOT be full, a typical plate piled full of food will have more than double your daily calorie intake, which is why a lot of people have weight problems (one trick here is to eat off a smaller plate, it cons your brain into thinking it's your usual full meal).  Calorie counting  can become very laborious and off-putting, also don't weigh yourself every day, resist temptation until the end of each week.\n\nFinally here are a few sites with some healthy eating suggestions to make mealtimes healthy and enjoyable.\n\nTake a look at the recipes before you go 'yuck this sounds boring' there are loads of tasty stuff\n\nhttp://www.healthyliving.gov.uk/healthyeating/index.cfm?contentID=1401\nhttp://www.thatsmyhome.com/healthy/index.htm\nhttp://www.healthyliving.gov.uk/healthyeating/\nhttp://www.weightlossresources.co.uk/diet/healthy_eating/evening_meal.htm\n\nPS. It's all about conditioning your mind and your body, once you get used to eating healthily you will enjoy it, give the recipes time and don't give up after a few weeks. You have plenty of time to lose the weight, do it in a healthy and sensible way.\n\nOh and congrats on the wedding, have a great day in June/July 2007 :)

The only "diet" (I hate that word) plan that has worked for me is lots of walking. I try to walk most places and eat mostly fresh foods. Lots of fruits and vegies. Try not to eat fast-food. Even the fast-food salads contain lots of fat and calories. If you get hungry, drink some water and eat something healthy.(fruits and vegies) When I eat out, I try to pick something that is halfway healthy and will taste good. The worst thing about being on a diet is having to act like you're on a diet. That is definately not motivating. Oh, and drinking lots of water helps keep you hydrated and it also flushes all sorts of things out of your body. Most people are not sucussful with any diet unless they're getting lots of water. At least 8 eight fl. oz a day. That's about 2 liters. Good luck!

Fasting or Cancer .\nI don`t recommend either.\nThe way to go is slow and steady.\nEat less -Exercise more and make these changes in your life \nPERMANENT. This is not a diet but a lifestyle change.
