Top Five Diet Strategies

Every Diet has success stories, and there are principles that work that you will find as a component or belief in almost every plan:

• All diets recognize that if you are going to lose weight you must burn more calories than you consume (the second Law of Thermodynamics has not been repealed) so whether or not they specifically mention calories, all programs are designed to decrease your caloric intake.
• All diets acknowledge that physical activity can help people lose weight and maintain weight loss.
• All diets must include the 9 essential amino acids found in protein.
• No diets suggest that you can lose weight while consuming large amounts of simple, non-nutritious, calorie-dense carbohydrates or processed sugars.
• All major diets are aware of the dangers of hydrogenated fats and the benefits of omega 3 fatty acids.
