What foods are good for a diet?
336028
Most people eat way too many starches and sugars (in other words carbs). There is a diet (if you want specifics just send me an e-mail) basically you are allowed 3 meals a day and one snack.  Each meal gets 2-3 carbs and snacks get 1-2 (you can figure carbs by looking on nutrition label taking what it has for caarbohydrates and dividing it by 15, for instance if its 32 thats roughly 2 servings of carbs).  Also for each meal you eat 3-5 oz of lean meat or 1 whole egg or 1 whole egg and 1 egg white or 3 egg whites.  You have unlitmited veggies. This meal plan is flexible enough that you dont necessary have to eat "diet" foods but puts portions back to where they were in the 1970s when there wasnt such a huge obesity problem.\n\nWith any diet you need to exercise. I suggest the following plan, it is not too difficult that if you are very over weight you will be uncapable of doing it (these are the times you should start at, add 5 minutes each week to the total time, until you hit around 80 min on the walk):\nDay 1: walk 40 min\nDay 2: walk 10 min, jog 5, walk 10, jog 5, walk 10, jog 5 (when you add time to these add a min to the jog a week, nothing else)\nDay 3: get 10 lb weights, do a chest press, curls and stand on a step holding the weights and do calf raises. Each should be 3 sets of 10 reps for first month then go to 12 reps and after that do 15 reps\nDay 4: rest\nDay 5: Cardio(choose 1): jog 15 min, jump rope 10, walk 50, swim 15, trampoline 15, sport 20, etc.\n\nthen repeat.  Note: if it is raining outside you can shuffle the days.  You should also do 15-20 pushups a night and 50-100 situps

The answer is high calorie, good nutrition. Snack. Eat  Three meals a day, and 3 snacks. Take the oportunity to eat enough protein and  calcium, work on B vitamin intake. Choose higher calorie items. So, a banana instead of cantaloupe, 2% milk, not lowfat, yogurt with fruit, not plain. Pick an egg, meat a couple times a week instead of cereal. Add some jelly on whole wheat toast. Fruit smooties are great, same rules, add calories. Use an ensure like product for the base of the smoothie.\nLunch Cottage cheese with a heavy syrup canned fruit, a sandwich, put turkey on whole wheat, add a little mayo. Choose some healthy cookies, raisin oatmeal, peanut butter perhaps. A glass of milk with every meal. Try a main dish item for lunch instead of a sandwich[think blue plate special like you'd get in a diner. Same meal as supper, just smaller portions] lasagna and garlic bread, a breast of chicken with a potato and salad,  meat loaf with mashed potatoes.chicken and dumplings. \nSupper; choose a dressed potato instead of plain, like cheese potatoes, or mashed. Add sour cream, cheese, bacon to a baked potato. Add calories to a veggie like cheese sauce, hollandaise, make baked beans, green bean casserole. Add calories to meat: choose something with breading or a sauce, choose shepard's pie, or a casserole with rice or noodles. Choose a higher calorie meat, like a pork chop, instead of chicken. Put barbecue sauce on a pork steak.\nThings not to do: skip the empty calorie salad with the diet dressing. It fills you up, not out. If you miss salad, add egg, cheese, nuts, seeds, higher calorie dressing. Just watch the fat content with that dressing. Don't skip breakfast, eat something!\nSnacks. Choose a handful of nuts, healthy cookies, celery stuffed with peanut butter or the cheese in a jar [ Kraft makes a jar cheese that is flavored. It's by the velveeta and cheese whiz at the store]. A slice of angel food cake with lemon curd sauce, cocoa, make a small sandwich.Make a fruit salad. Drink a can of ensure, if you can't stand the taste, put some chocolate syrup in. Make a milkshake. Any thing with cream cheese in it or on it.\nFind a cheese you like and pair it with a fruit and crackers.\nFind creative ways to use peanut butter. On graham crackers, on an apple, on a Ritz. Ice cream, sherbet. sorbet. Popcorn with parmesan. I love kiddy cereal right out of the box, no milk on it . I choose a healthier one, not a sugary one.\nAnd eat a snack near bedtime. Milk is a good choice, it makes you sleepy\nHope this helps.Good luck. One trick, when you buy foods from a can or a box, , check the recipe on the box or can, most of the time it has you add stuff that is almost always high cal. Or go to the website.\nOne more trick, but not to excess: alcohol is very high cal. Add a glass of wine, a glass of beer, or some fruit laden tropical drink once in awhile.And make sure you are over the driking age, or your parents will kill me.

There are no 'best foods'.\nIt does not matter what you eat; if you consume more energy-food (fat, sugar and carbohydrate) than you use energy at your level of activity, then you will get fat.\nSwitch to a normal, delicious, healthy, balanced diet. For reliable medical/scientific advice look here:

I think that no diet is really any good but if you really need a diet then just eat your three main meals a day but cut down on the starch and sugar, eat a lot of vegetables and fruits and if you feel hungry don't snack in between meals but drink a glass of skim milk to keep you full. As for exercise anything goes,as long as you're not sitting around but actually participating. And walk aroun more often for example don't take the lift but the stairs. Hope this helps I lost 12kg in a month but I was consistent.

The best diet is a well-rounded diet.  Ignore the fad diets (like Low Carb!!) which are here today gone tomorrow (with your money!).  Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and moderate amounts of fat.  Take in fewer calories than you use and you will lose weight.  That doesn't sell many books, but it works.

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.

Diets don't work.  A lifestyle change is in order.  You have to decide to eat healthy, avoid meaningless calories like candy most of the time, a little dark chocolate isn't bad, eat fruits and vegetables, exercise more (even walking is good),cake on occasion is OK but skip the icing and by all means avoid fried stuff like donuts and french fries.

A diet isn't "the amount of food and drink consumed." A diet is an eating routine or habit. A diet can consist of anything, as long as it's habitual. And most people do diet for health (to lose weight, stay trim, reduce heart disease, etc.), perhaps this is the stem of the confusion.

oatmeal is good for helping to get rid of the bad cholesterol ( I believe its the LDL), and eating foods like fish will help raise your good cholesterol (I think it's HDL), which will lower your total overall cholesterol.
